Still can't believe that my husband took me to Hawaii to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary! It was a fantastic trip. I was extremely nervous about flying that far though and had a little anxiety attack between Atlanta and Los Angeles. I finally had to give my anxiety over to Him who sits on the Throne and relax. It worked, the flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu was much smoother and enjoyable for me.
We were able to share our trip with our best friends, Keith and Sandy Black. They were so much fun to be with. We each saw new experiences and visited many beautiful areas of the island of Oahu. We actually were able to stay on Waikiki Beach, one of the most famous beaches in the world.
We visited Diamond Head, an older extinct volcano and saw some spectacular views of the island, including
this picture of a lighthouse. These views were breathtaking. We were also able to visit a Polynesian Cultural Center that embodied the cultures of many of the outlying islands in the South Pacific including Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, French Polynesia to name a few.
We noticed that the Island of Oahu was a primary vacation destination for the Japanese. There were almost as many Japanese as there were native Hawaiians. We took in some of the night life at Jimmy Buffet's enjoying some of their live music and also a concert review show including Michael Jackson, Elvis and Lady GaGa (impersonator's that is). They were all very good, and we enjoyed the show very much!
The boys ended up going fishing off the coast and Keith caught a 4-foot shark. Of course the captain didn't let him keep it, they cut the line (wise move), however they did catch other fish and grilled their catch for them on the boat.
Boy did I say we had a fantastic time or what!!! Can't wait until our 40th Anniversay, where to go?????
