Hawaii

On the plane to Hawaii!!!!
Can you believe Air Canada doesn't serve complimentary food on a 6 hour flight?

The flight attendants took pity on me and gave me some free carrots and apple slices:)





Our first morning in Waikiki. We walked along the beach and had a pic taken with Duke.







We took a catamaran cruise out from the beach. It was windy and choppy going out but smooth on the return.

There was a lady who puked all over her husband. The smile never left his face, he just cleaned himself up. I couldn't believe it!














The lobby for our hotel was one floor up from the street.
This is us heading out to The Cheesecake Factory for dinner.









Love my new red purse. I think we are soul mates.














We rented a car for a day and drove up to the North Shore.

The first stop was the Dole Plantation. Suds LOVES the pineapple Dole Whip you can get here. It is always on his "must do" list when we visit Hawaii.








We took a 20 minute train ride around the fields. Pineapples are a tough crop! They must be planted and harvested by hand and it takes about 2 years to get 2 pineapples! Then the plants are ripped out and the process started again.








Waimea Bay, North Shore










During the winter, Waimea has some of the biggest waves for surfing in the world.

It would be awesome to see a competition here one day!

When we were here there weren't many waves, but a huge sea turtle swam right underneath us as we were laying on an inflatable!

On the way back to Waikiki we stopped and had some garlic shrimp at a roadside trailer shack. The first time we had this was with Shannon and her bro's. I think we are still burping garlic hahahahaha








Here is the car we rented. It only cost us about $35 so weren't expecting much, but this was really cute!









Breakfast buffet at Duke's looking out over Waikiki Beach.
Across from us was a guy who asked for 2 takeaway boxes after his meal. Then went up to the buffet with the boxes, filled them up and walked out! Ballsy!
















Waiting to board the bus to Germain's Luau.



















We have been to the Luau so many times now! Nothing has really changed, except we think the shell lei's are getter cheaper looking:)















The food hasn't changed at the Luau either:)

Hey! Where are my Blue Hawaiians??















The main drag in Waikiki











This is a newly renovated area of Waikiki. It is called the Beachwalk and has all sorts of new shops and restaurants as well as landscaping.
This is the area we normally stayed at on Lewers Street. It is much improved!










On our last day we rented some sun loungers and an umbrella. If only we knew days before how much more enjoyable it was this way!
Oh well. Next time we will head straight here!
















Bye bye Hawaii.

See you again in about 3 years:)
