Aloha from Hawaii

Aloha everyone!

We made it.  It's been a whirlwind day and a half, so I'm sorry I haven't been able to update until now.

The flight from Chicago to Honolulu was easy.  Justin, Melissa, Lauren, Brendan, Kayla and I made it in once piece and the youngest of the group was a dream.  She was delightful and made plenty of friends.

The jumper flight from Honolulu to Kona was a little more stressful.  The lack of napping and the time transition put a damper on our youngest traveler.  Thankfully, she fell asleep for most of the 45 minute flight.

The house itself is beautiful.  There is a lot of space and it took us a while to figure out where everyone was going to sleep.  (That's a lot of opinions and logistics)

While Justin, Brendan and Mom went to Costco and to pick up Dad from the airport, the girls tested the house pool and hot tub.  Being up literally on the water makes that "wave" sound LOUD.  Great for sleeping, not great for conversations. :)

While we were waiting for them to get back, Lauren found these enormous binoculars and said she was "going to do some major creeping with these".  Doesn't she look the part?


Today (Thursday), Dad and Brendan went golfing with two of dad's acquaintances and the rest of us spent the day relaxing on the patio and in the pool.

Isn't our view beautiful?



We are now (1:11am ET) eating dinner.  Who knows what tomorrow will hold.
