What a whirlwind week - actually I think it was only 5 days! Jessica and I arrived in sunny Honolulu on Sunday afternoon, after checking into the wonderful Hilton Hawaiian Village and sharing a sushi lunch, we headed out to the beach, the water was warm and wonderful, we then met up with Roland and Cicely for some tropical drinks. On Monday, we explored the shopping and shared some drinks with the "Birds", Mom and Aunt Arlene. Monday night, we were exhausted and just hung around the hotel. If you have never been to the Hilton Hawaiian Village, it's a huge area consisting of about 5 hotel towers, shops, restaurants, pools, etc. You really never have to leave, it has it all! Tuesday, we, along with Roland & Cicely, rented a convertible and drove to the North Shore, where we enjoyed some fab shrimp, wonderful beaches, a little rain and of course, a few drinks (getting the theme?)...Wednesday was the day we were waiting for, after spending the morning with the "Birds", we got all gussied up and headed to the Moana Surfrider for the wedding of Kelly and Mike. The setting was beautiful, overlooking Waikiki Beach - the ceremony was touching with Kelly being very emotional - after the vows, we all were treated to a wonderful buffet dinner which included prime rib, sashimi, sushi, seafood and an assortment of tasty salads and side dishes, we then danced the night away, taking on a few uninvited guests that were enjoying the music from their balconies and the beach!
It was a wonderful adventure and I really enjoyed spending some quality time with Jessica and I hope she had a good time as well!
