On Thursday, March 10th, the alarm went off at 3am. Yes, I said 3am and yes, we set it on purpose….but it was okay because we (Steve, Kari, and I….Ashley would join us down there on Saturday) were leaving for Hawaii!!! We caught our 6:30am flight to LAX where we would have a 2 hour layover before boarding our plane for Honolulu. The flight is a beating….almost 3 hours to LAX and then almost 6 hours to Honolulu. But is was amazing what a good mood everyone is in when headed for Honolulu….how could you not be??? Plus, I got to see the movie Morning Glory with Harrison Ford and Diane Keaton on the plane so that was a bonus. Cute movie by the way :)
We made it to Hawaii in late afternoon. Rented our car and then headed to check into our hotel.
Our room was on the 14th floor in the Rainbow tower…right on the beach.
And this is what we saw from our balcony….
I was IN LOVE already!!!! We dropped off our bags and found a little pizza place to have some dinner. By this time, it is 5pm Hawaii time which means it was 9pm Dallas time. We were fading fast :)
We did manage to find the energy to walk around a little bit and check out the hotel property. IT WAS HUGE and BEAUTIFUL!!!
The wildlife was great….
We headed to bed at 8pm…..midnight back home. And for those of you keeping track…..we had been up for 21 hours. I think the three of us were all asleep within 5 minutes of our head hitting the pillow. It was going to be a great vacation :)
Until next time….
