Oahu Day 2

We woke up at John & Debbie’s feeling fantastic. It was early, but it was great. The bed was very comfortable, with a fabulous comforter, and even an iPod charger!




 Debbie drove John to work and explained to us about the resort he manages. It has 2 golf courses, a spa, and over 400 guest rooms! We passed many vineyards on the way to the SFO airport. Traffic was insane. We only made it 30 minutes before our flight. We got in, and I saw the line for security – about 30 minutes long. I sighed heavily. Not this again!, I thought. I asked the nearest security guard if we’d make our 9am flight if we stood there in that line. He said, “yep!” I said, “are you SURE?” He said, “Nope!” and opened the line for us to be next to go through security. We went through okay, RAN to our gate, and arrived just in time, breathlessly.




 Now, we had hardly any battery power left on our phones, because the chargers were in the checked bag – already in Honolulu, we were hoping. We texted parents and grandparents quick to let them know we made it okay onto the flight. The on board movie was “Company Men.” Boring. I slept through it.

Perfect Airplane breakfast!

Look at all that leg room! :) We had great seats from SEA-TAC to SFO.

 We got to the airport, and had to wait for Grandpa and Uncle Ken to arrive and come get us. I was having a hypoglycemic attack, so I got some chocolate milk and fries at Burger King, while Robert went to find our bag. He called me right away, said he’d got it, but I had to come down to him after I had my food. (He was already out of that part of the airport, and couldn’t get back in). We waited for Grandpa & Uncle Ken, who arrived in 20 minutes or so on the bus. We took 2 buses and 40 minutes to get to the condo. Grandma & Aunt Judy were there to greet us when we got here. We then rested a bit, and decided to go down to the international market, where I got a pearl out of an oyster! We came back to our room, rested longer, and then went to Waikiki beach and body surfed with Grandpa & Uncle Ken. We finished the evening with a Hula show with music and dancing, and buying some food goodies and dinner at the Farmer’s Market, which is only available on Thursdays.

Ahhh, our first breath of Hawaiian air!

Hula Dancers - very talented!

Look at this doll! Not really; it's a hula dancer. She made that grass skirt!
