We made it back in one piece! How did I ever do a flight to China, by the way? The traveling was very long, but very worth it! We had a great time on Oahu and Maui. I wanted to see Pearl Harbor, and the WWII memorial was very moving. I couldn't help having Bachelor flashbacks, though, feeling a little like Tessa looking out over the water. It was all in all a very moving experience for us.

We drove to the North Shore and ate shave ice and shrimp at a shack on the road.

Maui was truly paradise. I used to think nothing could be better than Phi Phi Island. Well, I was wrong! It was so beautiful, literally breathtaking at parts. From our hotel, you could look out and see two islands in the distance. Hawaii is so amazing with mountains and beaches all mixed together. Marcus played a few rounds of golf, we snorkeled with a sea turtle, got massages, ate a ton, tried to exercise, ate some more... went to a luau, on a helicopter ride, and just hung around by the pool. It was exactly what I needed, and now I am glad to be back with sweet Neely!!

Aloha!
