  • We had a great time headed out on our vacation, first stop was past the Phoenix airport, where Rick and Sandra met us for a few quick seconds between planes. I was so pleased they would come to see us...

    Then on to Honolulu, late at night, and the next morning this is the view from our ocean-side room on Waikiki beach...

    we all couldn't wait to get our toes in the water, so we went over to the beach after breakfast and waded in...

    Later that day we drove around Waikiki, Honolulu, and headed up to the North Shore to see Sunset Beach and Waimea Bay. There were beautiful plants and birds everywhere...

    We managed to forget sunscreen on the backs, so they all got fried, Maureen was rare, Kyle medium, and Allen was well done. He got second degree, blistered all over his back.

    Maureen got the Boy Scout award of the trip, she came prepared with Aloe gel, and Motrin. We resupplied with sunscreen at the stores. They had spray on 70 SPF stuff. Neat stuff.

    Neat place. We drove along the north coast, then down the east side, through a tunnel, then back to Honolulu, and stopped at the Hard Rock. There were some pretty cool motorcycles outside...

    and a Caddy station wagon in the restaraunt...We had  a great time there, bought the usual T-shirts and souvenirs, then headed back to the hotel.
