After our New England road trip, we spent 3 months reconnecting with our school, the piano, neighbors and especially with Tomcat. Now, winter in the Pacific Northwest will get anyone dreaming of Hawaii and that's precisely what we've been doing for weeks now.Aloha to everyone out there following us on adventure!
We plan to spend a week on the Big Island where the highlight is supposed to be horse-back riding (this explains the cowboy hats) rather than volcanoes for some reason. But first we'll hang out on the island of Oahu, staying on Waikiki. How exactly we ended up here is anyone's guess. All I can say is that sometimes I get it right...and other times I book us in the wrong part of town.
Not only is traffic horrendous in Waikiki, but we're surrounded by stylish Japanese tourists and posh shops. We actually went shopping for swimsuits, and the extremely helpful Japanese girl working the counter told me that 3 year-old Doodle was "very sexy".
No worries. We got a rental car and went exploring. That's how we discovered that while none of us are surfers, we're pretty happy in dive shops like Aaron's. Smiling, dread-locked dudes who get goofy with our kids is what's going to make Hawaii a special state of mind for us. Hang loose, Jeffrey, and Mahalo for showing us the way to the turtles!
If you are still on Oahu - try to get to Hanauma Bay...it is a gorgeous reef and some of the best snorkeling I've ever done! I think it is only open a couple days a week...but well worth it!
