Our Hawaiian Getaway (Oct/Nov 2010)

We've just returned from our latest trip to Hawaii and whilst I was looking forward to getting home, I have to admit that I'm already dreaming of going back!
We left Sydney at 6pm on Thursday 28th October and arrived in Honolulu at 8am on (their) Thursday 28th October. How good is that!
Heeeelllllooooo Waikiki...

First up was one of our faves - a trip to Honolulu Zoo.

3D Glow Golf was also a priority since it was closed when we went back for a second game on the last day of last year's trip.

Cowabunga little dudes!!!!

Dinner at Shorebird, a tradition of ours

Then fireworks at the Hilton. Love that place.

The next night Greg, Mum and I went on a sunset catamaran cruise with an open bar - I can't drink that many Mai Tai's in an hour and a half!

Greg driving on the wrong side of the car!!! We hired a Chrysler for 2 days and drove around the entire island, which is actually quite small.

Kailua Beach Park. This place has been on my to-do list for the past few trips and we finally made it there. Well worth the wait.

Kamehameha Highway. The road that takes you around the entire island of Oahu - pretty much.

I took this photo for the Magnum reference. We love T.M., P.I.

The swell on the North Shore was huge. The HIC Pro was underway at the time but was apparently cancelled on this day because of the danger.

We stopped off at the Dole Plantation and fed the crazy fish.

This is still my future workplace...one day

Waikiki Aquarium - only $7 with a coupon. (But really only worth that much).

At the end of the Boardwalk at Waikiki;

Lunch at Chili's - yummmmmm

Greg's birthday at Duke's. The BEST food ever!

Liam met a friend one night...

HANG LOOSE

(or as Liam says - hang loosey)

Mum had been promising to make them in to mermaids for weeks before we left.



On our last day we went back to the zoo since it's so nice, cheap and is something we don't do often at home

Then we hung out at Kuhio Beach Park to watch the Sunset hula show.

No view from our room, but this was looking down at the pool from the elevator corridor.

See you in about 3-5 years Waikiki. We loooooove you x

Back in Sydney. All the worrying about our luggage being overweight (well, Kelly's and Mum's) and they didn't even care!!!!
