Hawaii: Final Hours

Our last day in Hawaii- so sad.  Actually I was excited to get home and see the kids too though! We enjoyed a delicious breakfast under this shady tree at one of the hotel restaurants.


Then off to soak up whatever sun we had time for.  First stop the beach with the fish in the water and the crabs on the rocks.  Greg went in to shower before check out time, I went to the pool.  I wanted to spend every available minute relaxing in the sun.  It was hot out there, but that's good.  We don't get much hot in Buffalo!
When it was time to leave I went in to change in the restroom and found Greg "resting his eyes" in the lobby.  The 6 hour time difference really did a number on us.  We never really knew what time zone our bodies were in.
So off to the airport we went on a Saturday afternoon.  We got one last smile at Hawaiian happiness at the airport...
 
Cute, huh? :)
We left Honolulu late Saturday afternoon and arrived home at 10am Sunday morning.  I really struggled to sleep on that flight- like I said my clock was all mixed up.  It was great to finally get home and be with the kids again.  Huge thanks go out to my mom and dad for staying with the kids through a very busy week!  The kids of course had a GREAT time with Grandma and Papa, but I think they were pretty glad to have us back- or at least to get their souvenirs we brought them!

I'm always sad on the last day of a trip, especially when it has been a really good one. I was downright blue on my last day in Michigan back in June and was close to tears a couple times (very unusual for me).

I love the Hawaiian touch on the bathroom signs.

I finally had a minute to sit down and look at your blog! (I totally put in Finding Nemo and this time stayed awake myself!) I went to Hawaii almost 10 years ago and loved it, so it was so fun to look at all the stuff you did and to remember. It really is a BEAUTIFUL place. And how much better to spend it with your husband!! Wouldn't you love to have the ice water with lemons and limes all the time in your house? I think I would drink more water! Thanks for thinking of me!! Loved all the pictures and your comments! I hope you are having a great time in Michigan!!
