Mahalo Hawaii

Sunday 2.14.10 Valentine's Day

On our way back to Honolulu. We packed up and headed down the windward side to take it all in. The waters were so shallow and clear and the waves were far out. The windward side was so nice with the homes and fewer tourists. We saw some fellow Saints filling up for gas on there way to church. Contemplated what it would be like at one of their Sacrament Meetings... ALHOA!!!... Congregation replies... ALOHA!!!

So much beach- just beautiful!

Chinaman's Hat


Maunawilli Falls
We missed doing this earlier in the week and thought we would try to find the falls trialhead again. We found the beginning in the middle of a nice neighborhood.
The trail to the falls was so slick and slimy. Even though we were in thick forest I wasn't one bit scared knowing there were NO snakes lurking about.

Lush, green, moist, awesome.

The falls were freezing cold, but it was so worth it.
We did it!


We drove back into Waikiki and walked the beach. Watched the keikis boogie board and body surf next to the pier. Sought a Valentine's Day dinner at The Cheesecake Factory. Because luck is on your side when you travel with Mike Black we were able to skip a huge line and a very long wait and ate our dinner back at the bar while we watched TV and caught up on what was going on in the real world. It was delicious and filling!

The camera ran out of juice on our way back to the car from the falls and I had forgotten about the camera on the IPod until we were about an hour away from the airport. So in the end Mike recorded our final very romantic sunset in Waikiki.

MAHALO Honey!!!!
