We had a grand time in Hawaii
Friday morning, Kurt drove us to Long Beach airport for our 7 30 flight. He didn't wanna get up but we left by 5 30. It was so easy to check in there. We tried a few sudoku and got on the plane. We had packed some snacks, and KR had the bacon LT sandwich, and I ate a little of the cheese sandwich and saved the rest.
I even watched TWO movies. Bourne Identity and Scent of a Woman. Both were very good
We landed and it was HOT 85 and got the rental car Dollar Rental We started towards North Shore and passed Dole Pineapple There was still a lot of tourists. Schofield Barracks was next. There was a lot o f construction between Haleiwa and Laie. We had some poke at Foodland. Oh I also bought a charging cord from Walmart as I could not get my apple charger to work in the car. We made it to Adam's and he brought us to his next door neighbor, Lisa Lai's house. Adam has this cement box that is still not finished. Aatalia, his wife has some mental illness and i s not functioning well. The floor of the upstairs bedroom is covered in animal skin, like a bunch of cow hide, and she was watching video on the bed. He said she started having schizoid type of symptoms a few years ago, and was on meds off and on. We went to Lisa's second bedroom upstairs. The house is very interesting, weird weird contours and shapes and rooms. She is retired from selling packaging I think. Their company sold stuff to Walmart in the 80's for packaging. Anyway, it had a great ocean view and but was HOT
We had dinner, very yummy, at Pounders, which was right next to the Polynesian Cultural Center.
The next morning, Saturday, we had some coffee at the Bistro which was inside the Marriott
We packed up and could not raise Adam so we left for Kaneohe
We texted Mac and we went hiking
WHAT A HIKE
Oolamana Hike in Kaneohe was just amazing. We slathered up the bug repellent juice and started. It was a tough hike with rope climbs. We only went up the FIRST PEAK. That was enough. Kathy picked us up just outside the golf course. I was so so tired
We had a yummy dinner and went upstairs to her rented house and slept well
Sunday Kathy cooked us breakkie, baked egg something and coffee and we were off to Waikiki
We stopped at Queen's Beach for a swim and then checked into Hilton Hawaiian Resort, the Grand Islander Tower What a room. 2205 One bedroom, ocean view and full kitchen, Bosch frig, and GE dishwasher and oven/stove and microwave We found the free parking behind the lagoon, and the dollar an hour parking just next to the marina We went to Safeway and had poke and salad for dinner
Monday morning was YOGA HAHAHAHA We climbed Diamond Head, then went to Makapuu Light house. Then we went back to snorkeling and I FOUND A GOPro
Monday we tried snorkeling right in the front but was murky. We went back to Queens' We had left over dinner and KR got mad at me and had a large beer
Tuesday we walked all the way back to Queens and as we didn't bring enough money, only a 20, we had one lunch before we walked back home. We went downstairs to watch the sunset off of the jetty and it was beautiful. Then it was search for dinner. We finally ended up at Ala Moana food court where I had the most amazing food at food court - PRIME RIB yup
Wednesday it was yoga on the grass at 6 30. We took a easy and drove to Leonards Malasada but there was no butter mochi, but we bought some malasada and drove to see Chinatown. We missed it and ended up at Liliha Bakery, oh wow, what a bakery
The flight home was delayed about half hour. James picked us up with Angel as Kurt was working
It was a great trip
