Our first 24 hours in Honolulu have been a combination of relaxation and exhausting activity!
The flight was pretty pleasant, with a nice gradual ascent out of Seattle that offered absolutely amazing views of the Olympic mountains (unfortunatly no pics, sorry!) I watched the movie Marley and Me with no sound, it was funnier that way as I could make up my own stupid dialog. The movie really irritated me as it was 2 hours of Owen Wilson chasing after some damn dog... then the worst part was when the dog dies at the end I still ended up crying over it like a baby. I even knew what was going to happen and spent the first half of the movie wishing that damn dog would die. eigh.
Once we arrived we were starving, we wandered Waikiki and stumbled into "Cheeseburger in Paradise" right on the beach. They kept the fruity drinks coming, they were deadly on an empty stomach! We proceeded to get a nice buzz on for the afternoon as we shopped and enjoyed the beach. The evening was topped off by a fantastic sunset, that kept changing color for what seemed like forever!
Tuesday morning we rented a car and decided to explore a bit. We drove around the coast, with our goal being the North Shore. However the further north we drove, the colder it got, and eventually started to rain on us (we were working hard to figure out how to get the top back on our Subaru!)
Our drive offered some amazing views, and we scoped out some destinations for tomorrow. I got myself a boogie board, and Laura tried out her mask as we took our first swim in the Pacific ocean... tomorrow we will really hit the beash as it is supposed to be just gorgeous weather, sunny and 81.
Aloha!
