I will probably try to finish off our time on Oahu before we head off for Florida next week, but I need to get caught up on several trip reports first.
Hey, are all of you entering the Travel Channels contest for a $100,000 trip to Hawaii? Contest runs through March 24, I think. Two of the excursions they are offering as part of the trip are with companies we used on our trip (Paradise Helicopters on the Big Island and Trilogy Exursions on Maui). They also have a VIP tour of Pearl Harbor included.

Thanks! We did enjoy our walk together.
We were comfortable ditching the boys when we were restless to be out and about but they were more interested in chilling. They spent a lot of time reading, and especially with Nate, we were happy to see that. We actually gave Nate a lot of freedom (maybe too much, but it all worked out). Being able to use cell phones to keep in touch really helped in these situations.
Can't imagine why you would have a beach on your mind!!!

Thanks! It really was a beautiful beach and a lovely walk. Mark still hasn't looked at the albums I put together from our trip. At one point a couple of weeks ago he said, "too depressing".
I'm with you! Bring on Florida and the warm weather!!!

I know exactly what you mean!!! So hard to keep up! Today is my first quiet morning in several days- boys off to school, Mark back to work now that the trains into Boston are running again (although not that quickly or well). He left the house at 5:15 and got into work at 8:15. No heat or lights on the train!!! But at least it got there.

Glad to bring back some of your honeymoon memories. So many beautiful beaches on Hawaii. I would love to be able to explore more of them.

Me, too! Me, too!!!
We ended up doing the surf lessons in Maui, so it will be a little time before I get to that.
I would love be heading to a tropical beach right now!!! Although no complaints- leaving for Florida soon.

What a nice afternoon stroll. It is nice that the boys are at an age you can leave them behind. I'm not sure why but lately I have been wanting to go to a beach.

Oh WOW Dee! Those pictures are amazing! You must love looking at them right now considering you are totally snowed in right now! The beautiful hues of blue are just stunning. What a great afternoon! Loved seeing those pictures to get me psyched for warm weather!

I am never going to finish my TR or get back to my PTR. Every time I think I can, I find updates. And with taking off Friday to go to Dubuque for the weekend, I got further behind.
But what an update to come and read. Your pictures of the beach are making me remember our honeymoon and our time on the beaches in Hawaii. They are simply beautiful. A nice afternoon for you and Mark while the kids rested.

Dee - wow!!! Simply lovely. I want to be there right now. My work has been a headache as of late and that beach would be a perfect remedy. I am sure you would like to abandon your 4 feet of recent snow for a sandy beach and lovely blue water too. Thanks for the uplifting photos.
Also, look forward to hearing about surf lessons!
