Aloha 'ohana (family)
by the greeting most of you realize that Ken and I went to the state of Hawaii this past week, to the island of Oahu. We flew out Sat, Sept 15, and returned Sat, Sept 22. It was a fun week, and went by quickly. We didn't have a chance to see all the tourist attractions, but we did see some of them. We went for a convention thru the clinic, so did have to spend a little time at the Convention Center. We stayed at a hotel that was right on the beach, so really enjoyed spending time on the beach and walking the beach front. And there are tons of Waikiki shopping centers, and small shops along the streets of Waikiki Beach. We went to the Foster Botanical Garden on Mon, and to Chinatown to buy apple bananas (since we heard about them on the tours at the gardens) to Diamond Head on Tues morning, spent Wed on a bus tour of the island, and Thurs went to Hanauma Bay (which is great for snorkeling, but the weather wasn't the greatest for snorkeling, so we didn't do that), but the beach was really great there, and it was interesting to learn about the marine life. Writing it down doesn't seem like much, but we were busy all the days, did lots of walking, and of course we did spend some time by the ocean, and in it. When we did the bus tours of the island, the water color was fabulous along the North Shore, and the views were awesome! We put just a couple pictures up, and maybe we will add more in the next few days. The time in Hawaii is 5 hours behind Minnesota time, so Ken and I were always tired and feeling ready for bed by 7/8 every evening, and up early. But even when we got up early and headed out, the beaches and shops were already busy. It was amazing to see how many surfers were out at 6:30 AM. And now tomorrow we are both back to work, vacation was nice, just too short.

Sounds like you had a great time, and it really is pretty over there! When I was there we went snorkeling, and just to see the pretty fish was awesome. I really would like to go back some day and go to some of the other islands. We were mostly on Oahu, but did get to Lahania (sp) and to some of the others, so I know you had a great time.
Glad you enjoyed your time.

Yes, I was in Hawaii back in January 1997. Was there for about 10 days and had a great time! Hard to believe it's been ten years now.
