Yes, we did make it to Hawaii, and sadly we are now back at the airport, ready to leave for Vancouver. We had a great 5 days here, lots of great time on the beach. The weather was great, mostly hot and sunny. One day the waves on the North shore were 25-30 feet high, so we drove up to see. The beaches were closed for swimming there, but it was still really neat to watch the huge surf, and the sufers.
\nThe kids really enjoyed the ocean water – very warm and just the right size surf. We picked up a boogy board and a tube the first day and it was a blast riding the waves in on them. On our last day at Waikiki, Ian rented a surfboard and he and Dylan took it out and gave it a whirl – they didn’t do too badly for first time prairie boys!
\nWe spent one day at Hanauma Bay, the fish and nature preserve, for snorkeling. It was wonderful – we saw lots and had a perfect beach day.
\nOne day we rented a car and drove out to the houses we lived in and schools that we went to in 1975-76 when we lived there. Got a kick out of showing the boys my old haunts!
\nWell, it is back to the cold tomorrow, so we will wander off now and enjoy the last few minutes of warm air before we have to check in and board!
\nHope to see you all soon<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
