I love Hawaii!

Just returned from a two week vacation in your beautiful islands! With the 70 lb weight loss, I was able to do all the things I had planned, Diamond Head hike, swam with a dolphin and biked down Haleakala.  We snorkled on Oahu, Kauai, and Maui.  We had a full schedule everyday. Enjoyed the food, sun and warm water.  The only bad thing was having to go home!  Our trip back to Ohio was long - our flight didn't leave until evening, so after we checked out of our hotel, we spent time at the Maui Ocean Center, hopped our flight to Oahu at 5pm HST, left there at 8pm then landed in LA at  8am PT and then Cleveland at 3pm DST.  THe time changes are bad.  We got home about 5pm and both my dh and I went to work on Thursday and Friday and were glad to have the weekend to get caught up again.  I would love to return to the islands again soon.  Our first trip was in 1980 so I hope we can do this again in a few years.  Thanks to all who gave me some tips!  You were right about the milk being expensive!  The gas prices are similar to here!   We are so happy to have had a great time with 9 people in our group, my 2 children, their spouses and 3 granddaughters, and we all have so much to remember.  Mahalo!

I am so happy that you had fun here.  Hawaii is such a beautiful place.  I love to go to the beaches, parks and go camping.  4th of July is coming up so I am so excited to camp.  I haven't gotten my RMY yet however I go to my first call on July 12 (can't wait).  When I get this procedure I think I will have way more fun at the beach.  I don't like swimming in my shirt and shorts.   I am so glad you you enjoyed yourself and was able to hold back on all the good food we have here. Aloha, Nahealani

Aloha from Maui! So glad you had a wonderful time, too! Sounds like the perfect family vacation!

Lucky we live Hawaii!
