Now the fun part ... Hawaii

So off we went, Cindy and I to the beautiful isle of Oahu to our gorgeous room in the Waikiki Marriot overlooking the beach. It was just beautiful and breathtaking. The ride there wasn’t too bad on me thanks to a good regiment of pain pills. Eating was still a hard experience but hey, I’ve been doing so well at it for so ong, I was up for the challenge. We went on a huge catamaran ride on the ocean, enjoyed a tremendous luau full of good food and terrific cncing, rented a car and traveled around the island enjoying our time together. We watched surfing competitions, found hide-a-way beaches, swam in a beautiful water fall, ate the biggest fish sandwich I had ever seen, and just plan had a wonderful day. We also enjoyed a breathtaking helicopter ride around the island which was just incredible. We hated to leave. We spent lots of time shopping and walking on the beach and just enjoying the gorgeous, relaxed atmosphere of such a beautiful place. Thanks to some of our generous mad money gifts, we did more thatn we normally would have and I even bought a real Eukelele. It was a sentimental purchase, remembering that my mom, Lucy, bought her first one there and later taught me to play. She was tremendous at it so now I’m committed to learn. The trip was just wonderful!
