Last year we visited Son Tony in the Central Valley before flying with them to Oahu, then did some couple's activities after saying goodbye to Brian's family.
This year Tony and I scheduled time on Oahu before Brian's family arrived. We explored the city, toured Pearl Harbor, bought multi-day passes to a hop on, hop off trolley and rode several of the routes. We ate our way around town-Hawaiian dishes, seafood, udon, ramen, as well as sandwiches, burgers, and pizza.
Once Brian's family arrived we packed up our things and moved to a resort complex where we spent a lot of time waterside-both at the pool and the beach. Unfortunately, I picked up some bug which kept me company off and on the rest of the trip. I spent time by myself resting, then rejoined the family as my body would allow.

Sorry about the bug, good to get some beach and sun! (ツ) from Jenn Jilks , ON, Canada!
ReplyDeleteThe sunny weather was the best part!
DeleteWonderful family time and Hawaii!! -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI love hop on, hop off buses and trolleys -- the perfect way to see a city's attractions! When we were in Honolulu, we took one of them to the top of Diamond Head.
ReplyDeleteFunny you should mention Diamond Head. We were headed there the day I started feeling not so good. It's definitely on my list if I ever get to the area again.
DeleteSo glad you enjoyed visiting my neighborhood. Aloha to you dear
ReplyDeleteIt is a magical place.
DeleteI love Hawaii....We have friends who live there and I always enjoy seeing their pictures..such a beautiful place. so sorry that you fell ill. Same thing happened to me when Sam and I went..but mine was a migraine headache...thankfully we were able to enjoy the extra days we stayed. Glad you all enjoyed,...
ReplyDeleteOriginally I thought the issue was caused by volcanic smog from an eruption on the Big Island, but it lingered on too long for that to be the problem.
DeleteI've never been to Hawaii. I won't fly so I doubt I'll ever go. It's nice to spend time with family.
ReplyDeleteI know there are cruise lines that go across the ocean, but it seems like that would be time consuming. Family was the best part of the trip!
DeleteWhen we were on Oahu one November we went up to the top of the volcano. It had snowed recently up there so I got to throw snowballs in Hawaii.
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that!
DeleteI thought maybe I was reading a post somehow from last fall. Sounds like fun except getting sick on a trip isn't good at all. I'm sorry that happened.
ReplyDeleteWe travel a lot, don't we?
DeleteSounds like a wonderful vacation! Sorry you were sick for some of it!
ReplyDeleteBesides getting the bug, it sounds like a good vacation with the family. It has been almost two months and we miss Hawaii so much.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry you got sick during your trip dear Kathy!
ReplyDeleteI can relate as once we had to postpone our stay in hill station because hubby got ill and because we knew that cause is food we eat out we cancelled our trip.
I am happy but you and your husband managed to visit his family and your son meanwhile.
Hawaii is wonderful place indeed
