ALOHA!

Kevin and I are now in Waikiki! We flew to Maui on Christmas Day and then took an interisland plane to Honolulu. It was 9 degrees when we left SLC and we arrived to a temperature in the 80's. It made the EXTREMELY long 7 hour flight worth it! One of our first adventures was to obtain dinner. We went to the international marketplace and had Greek food. Then, just for the fun of it, we decided to try a Thai fried banana. Does Kevin look apprehensive? It was actually pretty good.Here's the view from our hotel room. Who can beat that? It's gorgeous!
Yesterday, we drove the Pali highway and stopped at Pali lookout. More gorgeous views!


Then we headed to Kaulua and Lanikai beaches (rated two of the best beaches in the nation) where we relaxed on the white sandy beaches, snorkeled in the warm water, and walked from one end to the other before picking up Todd and Jill from the airport.
The four of us headed back to the International Marketplace for dinner. Todd and Jill enjoyed Filipino food while Kevin and I tried Korean. Yummy! Then a moonlit stroll on Waikiki beach - I may stay here forever!
