Just found your report today and read the whole thing. Hawaii is so beautiful!!! Looking forward to Aulani.
I don't like macadamia nuts, but I swear I could lap that pie up pretty fast!
I have mentioned Hawaii for our 50th anniversary, but DH just doesn't want that long of a plane ride! I got to start pushing his butt a bit harder!
Push hard Wicket's Mom! DW and I just returned from Aulani for our 30th and it was fantastic! The plane trip is long but when we go back, we will break it up with a stop over on the west coast.
I'll keep my eye out for the taco truck in Dec.
That one is VERY easy to find. Soooo yummy....
If you get on Marriott's mailing list you'll get some deals if you listen to their timeshare spiel. We've stayed their twice and one time there was a guy in a speedo doing a different sand sculpture each day.
How cool! And thanks for the tip!
Our DS went to college with a guy that lives on Maui and raises cattle on Kauai and Maui so we stopped at his ranch on both islands last January. Very beautiful views. The one on Kauai is on the same road as you take out to the falls.
I'm sure we saw some of his livestock- it was all ranchland on the way out to those falls.
I can't wait to hear what you think about Aulani and see your pics.
Love it!
Exactly. I guess somebody pays that.
(furiously taking notes)
I'm hoping my kids will be up for the hike on the 1st part of the Kalalau Trail to the first beach (2 miles). I'd like to at least see the Na Pali Coast that way since I doubt we'll spring for the boat/helicopter tours. We'll try and get to Waimea Canyon on another day. The scenery just looks spectacular. And in the meantime, we'll just spend time exploring the beaches, towns and waterfalls.
I'm sure they could do it- my best advice for adults is build up your thigh muscles before you go because you will be using those muscles a LOT! Also- PROMISE me you won't try it in flip flops or sneakers- there are alot of rocks, and they are definitely wet and slippery.

happy dance!!!! single digits is the best feeling ever!!
Single digits! YEAH!!!!!!!!
WOOHOO Party Time Waynes World Single Digits. All the single digits all he single digits.. lol
I wish I had something to look forward to in the single digits... Dress size would be great! lol
Loving the report! Can't wait to see Aulani, but I guess that means we'll have to wait for the conclusion since you're in single digits!
So now you have me curious. I had to google Groveland, never been to Yosemite. What Hampton Inn are you staying in on the way to DL? Will you be coming down the I5 or 101? Listen to me! Ha! I'm more concerned with your PTR for this trip than your Aulani trip....
Ok back to Aulani!
Okay, so I'm just going to ignore the single digit dance.
I'm a little concerned that this is supposed to be an "anniversary" trip but there's not much podsnel time, if you know what I mean.
So spice it up! Just how did you two sweethearts meet, anyway?
I think we're going to try to go to the one in Bakersfield- http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Re...eld_North_Airport-Bakersfield_California.html
I guess that means we're coming down 99? Is that bad? We picked Groveland because we want to do a white water rafting day and after that head closer to Yosemite- the Charlotte had good reviews on TA.
And i will update about Aulani a few times before I go, I hope!
Yes- well, not much podsnel time in Kauai, more podsnel time at Aulani...
How did we meet? Hmmmm...
This reminds me of the showers in the spa on the Dream-
So, we were driving on the 10 lane highway (5 lanes in each direction) and stopped behind a sea of red- red brake lights, that is. At 10 pm. Because they were doing roadwork. We looked around us, and the 4 lane road that crossed beneath us- well, that was backed up for miles, too. And surrounding us in every direction were factories, and shopping malls, and traffic jams...
Adding to the joy was the fact that my Aulani directions, mapquest directions and GPS - well, they all said something different.
ooohhh that the sweetest story of how you met.
A great how we met story and I'm glad you posted it! I'm a big mush for stuff like this.
This shower looks wonderful. The whole thing looks wonderful!
What a cute story about the two of you!
The room looks great and a beautiful view! But just wait until you stay at the VGC those room are gorgeous!
Yay for making it to Aulani!
Loved your meet Pods story, it's funny how things like that happen. The wedding pictures brought back all those 80s weddings & the floral bride's maid dresses!
Aulani looks gorgeous, I need to get there, fast!
