the beginning...

yesterday my husband arrived in hawaii. we are on the island of oahu. we have been so excited about this trip that it didn't seem real that we were actually on the plane going and then that we were actually over the island and about to be there. we arrived at the airport and we were greeted by michaels uncle john. it was here that we got laied. (ha ha) the flowers were fresh and beautiful and smelled so good.

so to shorten some of this post we got our rental car (a convertiable), checked into our hotel (beautiful with an ocean view), and got ready for dinner with john and jennifer at willows, which is an outside restraunt, buffett style and very yummy. after dinner we went back to the hotel and crashed.

today we were up before the sun rise so we were able to watch it. we got ready, ate some breakfast, walked waikiki, did some shopping and got ready for our surf lesson. yes surfing and it was fun. exausting but a blast. i got a little queezy from being on my stomach so long and i'm sure i consumed some of that delicious salt water but it was still fun. i may re-thing that statement tomorrow when i am to sore to get out of bed because it is a work out but i am glad that i had the experience. thank you big todd for the lesson. from there we ate some lunch and aquired some more gear such as snorkle stuff, an umbrella, and a boogie board for the rest of our week of fun. we are now about to have a yummy dinner of shrimp eoutfee with john and jennifer. this is the end to our long and busy day. we will go home for much needed rest to gear up for the full day tomorrow.

i don't think that i can put into words the beauty that is around us and we haven't even seen half of the island. hopefully i will be able to post some pictures sometime but if i can't before we leave then i will definatelly get some up when we get back.
