Diamond Head

Here is a picture from the top of Diamond Head. It is beautiful up here.

Good Morning from Hawaii

Here is the view of Waikiki Beach of sunset this morning from our balcony. We're getting ready to go hike Diamond Head this morning!

Aloha from Hawaii finally

They finally repaired the plane, and we landed in Honolulu about 7 hours later than expected. I'm just happy to finally be here!

Never fly Continental

Here we sit in the terminal after we had to deboard the plane. The airline has blatantly lied to us numerous times. Maybe I'll make it to Hawaii.

Houston airport

We just arrived in Houston, now we have a three hour layover before our flight to Hawaii. I cannot wait!

Hawaii luggage for 12

Here we are in the airport with our mounds of luggage getting ready to check our bags for the flight to Hawaii.

Back in NC again!

I flew home on Saturday, and after a whirlwind of a couple of days, I'm finally doing a blog post. It has been great having my car back and being able to drive faster than 40 mph. Gas was also only $3.84 a gallon instead of $4.40 a gallon back in St. Thomas. So far, I have been busy unpacking my things from St. Thomas, doing some laundry, and packing for Hawaii. I leave to go meet my family tomorrow, then we fly to Hawaii early Wednesday morning. I have most of my things packed, but there are a few last minute things that I have to do tonight and tomorrow morning before I leave. Blog posts will probably be very irregular for the next few weeks, but I will do the best that I can.

As for the flight home, it went great. Toby was a good boy, and didn't even make a whimper the entire trip. In addition, as we were flying over Florida, the space shuttle Discovery was taking off, so we could see it in the distance. Granted, all that we could see was a small spot rocketing up into space, but it was very cool.
