Waikiki

Turtle Bay was a blast, but we had a date in Honolulu. On the way, however, there was a mandatory stop for some shave ice.

 Man have they got amazing food in Hawaii. If you haven't had the plate lunch at the Rainbow Drive-In, you haven't really lived yet.

When you're done at the Drive-In, head up the road for a 6 pack of malasadas from Leonard's Bakery.

 Babes at the beach.

 Surfs up.

 We went on a three hour tour!

 M1 and Mama snorkelling with the turtles.

 Although truth be told, Madeleine like me prefers the boat to the ocean.

Back, to the food. Next time you are in Waikiki, do yourself a favour and get a Hula Dog!

 The only way to travel.

 We went to the zoo, it was hot, very hot. This is the only picture. The animal is real.

 Hey, no ladybugs allowed in the pool.

 Enjoying the sun poolside.

 Until next time Hawaii.

 ALOHA!

Aloha!

Say "hello" to what must be my largest posting ever. I'll keep the comments short so that there more time to enjoy the pictures.

On the plane to Hawaii.

 Madeleine was not excited.

 Mama makes flying fun!

 Ready for sun and surf!

 Get it?!?

 Hugging the palm trees. Look in the archives for a similar shot...

 Loving the Turtle Bay.

 Jumping Madeleine Flash

 Hammock time.

 Born to be tropical.

Does it get any better than this? Maybe if there was a bone or two, but other than that, probably not.

 Lovely!

 Beware, you go in but you may never come out!

 The famous Pineapple Princess.

 My three favourite ladies.

 Having a blast.

 It was windy but Dad holds on to M1 super tight.

 M2 was all about the sand.

 Thinking about hanging ten?

 Hawaii is the place for love...

 and super smiles.

 Ladybugs into the pool!

"No dogs allowed on the waterslide." BOOO!

 Creepy Easter Bunny

 There were filming a movie at the Resort, and I snapped a photo of the star.

 They had everything, even ponies.

 It may not look like it, but this is the local delicacy. Scrumptious.

 Even Mirabellie can't turn down a garlic shrimp from Giovanni's

 Frog-girl.

 That's how they roll.

 The "Lost" banyan tree. Where's Locke?

 Matching outfits are a must.

 Turtle Bay was an absolute blast.

 She made the lei herself! Beauty.

Aloha for now. Check back soon for the second half of our adventure. Waikiki here we come.
