What follows is a marathon of detailed posts from our recent 10 day trip to Hawaii to spend Christmas with Uncle W and the rest of M's family. If you don't wish to read them all here's the highlights: seeing family, snorkeling, surfing, Pearl Harbor (both the tourist and the active base), whale watching, North Shore, Polynesian Cultural Center Luau, Dole Plantation, beach playing, kayaking, and sunset watching on the West Coast.
Things noticed about Hawaii--lack of billboards which was nice for seeing scenery, but made it so it was very difficult to know when any restaurants were coming up. Lack of semi trucks--things are moved around by box trucks. Also lack of trains, factories (or really any industry).
Even though it rained almost every day we were there--mostly just sprinkles in the morning, we still had fun and didn't let it stop us. I think every day was close to 80 +-a degree or two. Overall it was a wonderful trip and maybe some day we will make it back, although I know I can never live near the beach or in a tropical location due to my allergies. I guess CO will always be home!
