Flying Home

This afternoon, we checked out of hotel and went to the Ward Entertainment Center. Dad and Ryan saw War of the Worlds, while Mom and I saw Bewitched. After the movies, we went to the Old Spaghetti Factory for dinner. Mom and I waited at the mall, while Dad and Ryan took the luggage to the airport. While Ryan waited with the luggage, Dad drove back to pick us up. We then dropped off the rental car and took the shuttle to the airport. We almost missed the plane because we were so late! When we were the last ones on the plane and had to ask two girls to move out of our seats.

Taking in the View

I'm sat on the balcony this morning that faces lots of hotels and palm trees to the East. This is the first time I've sat out here since we got here. It's an amazing view. Oahu is gorgeous! I'm going to miss the palm trees and the flowers. I wish they had scenery lik this in Utah. Mom and I went to the Kahala mall while Dad and Ryan hiked Diamond Head. We went to Outback Steakhouse for dinner and then to the ABC store.

Shopping in Waikiki

This morning, we went to Kmart and Hilo Hattie and then we went to the Aloha Tower Marketplace. We went and got a pizza at Costco and then walked down the main street of Waikiki. We went to the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, the King's Market, The International Market Place, and the Waikiki Shopping Plaza.

Swap Meet and Luau

This morning, we went to the swap meet at the Aloha Stadium, I got a new backpack, some t-shirts, and a couple of necklaces. After we woke up from our nap, we head to the luau at the Polynesian Cultural Center. They had good food and the Horizons show was good as well, especially the fire dancers portion. I fell asleep in the car on the way home.

Shopping, Driving, and the Temple

This morning Dad and Ryan dropped Mom and I off at the Ala Moana shopping center while they went and looked at a World War II Submarine. We drove to the Polynesian Cultural Center and bought our tickets for the luau. Then we stopped at the temple and watched a video on families.

Hanauma Bay

We went to Hanauma Bay Park this morning. They make you watch an eight minute video before they allow to go down to the beach. Ryan and Dad snorkeled while Mom and I sat on the beach. We ate dinner at Red Lobster and then drove around Wakiki.

North Shore

This morning, we drove to the North Shore. Ryan's making us listed to his Jack Johnson cd. We stopped at the Dole Plantation. I got some pineapple juice and Mom got a pineapple ice cream cone. We went to Kua' Aina for lunch. It is a great sandwich shop. I had a turkey club sandwich and some lemonade. After our nap, we went to the Ward Warehouse mall again.

Waikiki Beach

When we got to the airport and went to get our luggage, Dad looked at the Alamo reservation and realized Alamo was closed from 1 am to 5 am. We go to the airport at 2:30 am Hawaiian time, so we had to take the Budget shuttle and rent a car from them for one day. The we got to our hotel which is called Marc Suites. When we woke up this morning, we changed rooms because there wasn't enough beds for all of us. We went to Jamba Juice for breakfast and walked to Waikiki Beach and we saw an old guy in a pink speedo. We also went and got groceries at Wal-Mart. Dad and Ruam went to the beach while Mom and I took a nap. They got pretty burnt from the sun.

When they came back, we went to Old Spaghetti Factory for dinner. It is at the Ward Warehouse mall. Dad dropped us off as one of the other malls nearby why he went and changed rental cars. When he came back, we walked down the main street of shops in Waikiki and went to the International Market Place. Just before we went to bed, Mom realized her Visa Check card was missing, so Dad called the company and reported it lost. She thinks she lost it and the airprort.

Plane Ride to Honolulu

I'm on the plane, flying from Los Angeles to Honolulu. LAX was a surprise detour. We were supposed to have a direct flight from Phoenix, but our plane was having electrical problems and they made us wait on the plane for 45 minutes without any air conditioning, so we had to fly on another plane. We are four hours behind schedule with 3 flights instead of two. On the plane they showed the movie The Pacifier. It was okay, but I wouldn't run out and buy a copy of it. Mom and Dad are asleep and Ryan is watching Elf on his laptop. I cannot wait till I'm able to get off this plane.
