Soaking up the Sun

Lounging on Waikiki Beach, Enjoying the Sunshine





The view from our spot in the sand....



The beach was great, but we also loved the hotel pools. The one closest to our room was a little more secluded so there was less wind, fewer kids, free lounge chairs, and cool drinks!



Yes, I was really hot in this photo, about to melt actually! I didn't last much longer out there, I swear my skin is like a thermal blanket... In fact, maybe it is and thats why I'm so hot all the time! I'll have to look into that.

The Luau at Paradise Cove

Many of you may have already heard about our "interesting" experience at the luau. In case you haven't (or you've only heard Greg's version of the story), here it is...

We had originally wanted to do the luau offered by the hotel. Unfortunately, the hotel was changing the location of the luau or something to that effect, so it was not being offered while we were there. As you will remember, the dinner cruise was already booked for Valentine's Day, so we were scheduling the luau in its place (we did the dinner cruise on the 13th). It should have been our first clue that the luau was not what we were expecting since it wasn't sold out for that night.

To make a very long story short, we went to get on the bus for the luau at about 3:45 in the afternoon. After spending the evening waiting in line for drinks, getting rocks in our sandals, and having a very generic buffet dinner with 1,800 strangers (no whole roasted pig in sight), we finally got back to the hotel at 11 pm.

So, live and learn. Here are the photos...
