Setting Sails On The Pacific
All hands on deck... Hoist the mainsail and trim the jib to starboard... Let's get ready to make way! Well, I must admit that for most everyone, the first thing that comes to mind when considering an island in the middle of the pacific is ...
Oahu
hWe planned to be on Oahu for 3 days and 2 nights staying at the JW Marriott Ihilani resort. This resort sits on a relatively newly developed 640 acre oceanfront property that about 35 minutes from Waikiki. It is relatively isolated but self contained ...
Day #8 - Birthday
Today is moms birthday so I, Katie, am writing the blog today. Once again it was another early morning( not by my choice ). We got up and had another delicious breakfast. Right after, we hit the road. We went to the Aloha Stadium for the flea market that ...
Rainbowns in Haleiwa
August 27 - September 12... a nice long stay in paradise. August 28 - Wandering around the neighborhood in Ko Olina, we again stop by the secret beach, and this time, a big fat seal was caught taking a lazy nap. Later, we walked around the Marriott ...
Day two: Ko Olina and more
... so it was pretty easy to get there. Once we get to Ko Olina we were immediately in awe of the beauty all around us. Ko Olina is a gated community with huge hotels and an amazing golf course. (Disney is presently building a resort there). We had read ...
Day #6 - On the Move
Today started earlier than it ever should of. Up at 3:00 a.m. Maui time. Couldn't help but peak at the black friday sales that were going on. Even did a little Christmas shopping. Travel days are never fun days, for Jeff that ...
Arrival Ko'Olina
... . The last time Roger and I were here was when we were on Cutthroat and we literally sailed away westward towards Kauai with Ko'Olina in our rear view mirror so to speak. Since then, the third Marriott Timeshare tower which was under construction in 2008 ...
Day #9 - Last Full Day
The weather was quite different this morning when we first got up. The wind was blowing like crazy. Trade winds. I've heard about trade winds but this was the first day we had to deal with them. The wind blew hard most of the day, ...
Day Three: Kailua and Lanikai
Another amazing day in Hawaii. Today we went to Shorebird again for breakfast (for $10 why not go again and again?). After breakfast we got in our super cool black van and headed towards Kailua on the Pali HWY. The drive to Kailua is gorgeous. You see ...
Day #7 - Can you Say Exhausted!
Wow, what a day! The Finnegan's found adventure. We started the day early with breakfast in the hotel dining room. It really is a beautiful dining area. You are surrounded with ponds containing sting ray, sharks and ocean fish of ...
Puu Ualakaa State Park
This trip lasted from Jan 18 - Jan 28, 2006. There's nothing that I haven't already showed pictures of from this trip: we went back to the secret beach, hung out in the perfectly manicured neighborhood with the road to nowhere, but this time I visited ...
Another trip to paradise
Another short trip from 8/23 - 8/29 and we stayed in Ko Olina again... our dream house! We found a secret beach where sea turtles and seals visit! Also a few shots from the lanai of a Waikiki hotel which we stayed at for the last night... and it reminded ...
Day #10 - Time to Come Home
From the moment we got up, there was a dark cloud following us a around telling us our time was limited. We decided to spend our day in the most enjoyable way. Katie and I drove to the north shore to watch surfer boys compete in the Vans triple crown ...
