Today was our last full day in Hawaii and it couldn’t have been better. I got high. Over 14,000 feet high! It was THE MOST AMAZING THING I’VE EVER DONE YET! I can’t even describe it.   The first reservation I’d made got cancelled because of the Tsunami, so I rescheduled with a different company. […]

filed in

Back on Oahu. Spent a relaxing day sleeping, laying out by the pool and swimming, then we went into Waikiki with Becca’s aunt and uncle to run some errands, and then ended up driving up on Tantalus drive, a scenic road in the mountainsides above Honolulu. It was gorgeous. Stopped at several different lookouts and […]

This morning we woke up early and hiked up Koko’s Head. We guessed that we’d make it to the top in under an hour, and we did. We made it up in 40 minutes. But it was definitely a cardio workout! And very hot out! The path up was an old railroad track and so […]

This morning woke me up at 6am. Couldn’t sleep anymore. I’m really tired, so this post will be short. But we relaxed in the morning, went to church, came back for lunch, and then Becca and I laid out in the sunshine for a while. After that we went riding in Uncle Jimmy’s sports car […]

filed in

Still trying to adjust to the time zone! It’s only 8 here but my body is screaming that it’s almost 2am. Especially a long day in the sunshine. It was a gorgeous day. But they say every day in Hawaii is like this. Mid 80’s with the sun high in the clear blue sky. We […]
