Hawaii

Our trip to Hawaii was wonderful! The flights were a bit long and we had some trouble on the way over but once we got there it was beautiful. We went to Maui first for 5 days and then back to Oahu for the last 5 days. Maui was very picturesque and more mountainous than i thought. We had some beach and pool time and did a lot of site seeing. We went up to Haleakala which is the volcano 10,000 feet above sea level and watched the sun rise. We went to the Lavender Farm, the winery and the Maui Ocean Center. The first two photos above are of the crew at dinner one night and the view from our balcony on Maui.
We then caught a flight to Honolulu and drove up to the North Shore (pic of Rob & I). We ate dinner at a great Mexican restaurant and Rob bought me a black pearl pendant for our anniversary. Its beautiful! We then checked into our hotel in Honolulu (Hilton Hawaiian Village). It was more a small city than a hotel with tons of shops and restaurants. The fourth photo above is the view of the beach from our balcony. We visited the Dole Plantation which had the best pineapple ice cream, saw Pearl Harbor (the Arizona and the Mighty Mo'), went to a flea market, and then drove up the east coast of Oahu to the Polynesian Cultural Center. We had a luau and got to see a great show. In between all the site seeing we spent time at the beach and the pool. The weather was awesome the whole time. The trip went by entirely too quick but it was worth it. The scenery over there is amazing, i definately recommend it!
