Hawaii

This is a picture of our lovely hotel room for the first few days. This is one of the time share rooms that we bought in Mexico but in Mexico it was a beautiful hotel this one not so much. We were not that impressed.

Yes, I went to Macdonalds for breakfast. It was dang good.

The tattoo place that also had massages next door.

Joel and I went to Hawaii. It was great. I finally got to go back. I have wanted to go for a while. I had to make lots of hints. It was our 28th wedding anniversary. I just have always had a great time in Hawaii. So I hoped it would be as wonderful as I wanted it to be.



Difference between me and Joel. Joel packs 4 pair of socks and no swimming suits. I pack 5 swimming suits and no socks. We thought we might have to find the nudist beaches but Joel had actually packed one suit so the beaches were safe.



Joel and I are always trying to get massages everywhere we go. Of course, Joel is cheap. He sees a massage place. It made me a little nervous. It was a tattoo palour on one side and escort service on the other. I refused to go there. I was nervous about getting raided and I thought I would spend more to go to a nicer place. We got two massages and didn't get raided.



Joel wore the same shirt about everyday. He only quit when we ran into a hocker selling excursions two days in a row and the guy talked to us both days. He was wearing his Denver Cowboy shirt. Thank goodness for that man.......



You would think that we never had never been to Hawaii. It took us forever to get anywhere. We were lost everywhere, missed exits, and went way out of way. We got to all these places when we took our kids the last 3 times. Good thing we had the garmin when it wasn't in the truck.



My views on Hawaii. It was getting old and looking old. They had lots of constuction everywhere. It looks like they put off updating for a while. The hotels were looking old. Lots of graffitti. The new look of Lewers Street was awesome. They did a great job. California Pizza Kitchen and PF Changs are there. TARGET is coming.......It really will be paradise then. Traffic was awful. No driving around 4 because it is like 5 miles a hour on the freeway forever. Not fun. Weird streets and weird ways getting on the freeways. Weird.



Laying out on the ocean on a floatie Absolute heaven. We kind of missed not having the kids there. To build sand castles with and swim with. I just wanted the grandbabies there. I do consider them my own special play toys. I can't wait to go with the whole family..... As Brooke says the girls can read and sun on the beach and the boys can snorkel or pass the football or whatever boys do. I did read two books. I have had the book "The Uglies" for a year and haven't read it so I took that. Also read "The Eclipse". Way better than the second one. I have had both those books waiting for about year. Just couldn't get into them yet. Both very good. Can't wait to start "The Pretties".



We ate at Jack in the Box and loved the Teraraki Rice Bowl. I couldn't believe it. Jack in the Box was really popular always a big line.



We had a great time. Now if we can do something about the planes.
