You are so right the gift shop in the Yacht Club is awesome.
I've followed some of Cammies TR's. Lauren's gotten so grown up! And her braces are off! What a great smile! I work for two orthodontists so I couldn't miss that!![]()
I'll have to check out the YC gift shop this summer when I am staying over at the Boardwalk.
So nice that you got to see Cammie. Is she going on the girls cruise this May?
What the heck with the boats.![]()
Nice that Sean got to have a little down time - we all need that from time to time
Hmmm, I have seen the empty chairs at CG and thought it was some sort of meeting hall... I will have to check it out - the clam chowder looked really yummy!
So great you got to meet up with Cammie and Lauren!I can't believe all of those people just bumped you off the boat - how rude!

Hmm, I fell WAY behind!Sorry about that.
I am all caught up now and still loving your report.
HOWEVER, the mini-TR of the trip you and your DH took was AMAZING!!! I want to be there NOW. Those updates actually made me feel like maybe it is not so sad that my DD is growing up so quickly. I would love to do something like that with no kids, lots of lying around, lots of drinks, etc.Okay, so my DD just turned 5, and I am old, so I will probably be a million years old before I can do it, but wow - what a GREAT trip!
It looks like you have planned an amazing trip Ellen! I hope you do a trip report.
Ellen - your plans look so wonderful and its great that you had points for flights!I did the red eye thing from LA to Auckland New Zealand once and I was totally messed up, but after a few hours of sleep I was good again. It really wasn't horrible once you know you are going to be on a plan for 11 hours you just deal with it!
I can't wait to read all about your trip because I hope that one of these days I will stay at Aulani!![]()
The trip looks like it will be AMAZING!!! Can't wait to see it unfold!
I am excited for you! Friends of ours just bought a house in Hawaii. He is the district manager for Walgreens in Hawaii. I keep trying to convince my DH to get a transfer there lol
Your plans sound great so far. We looked at Aulani but it's a long way off for us. But at least I get to live through your trip reports.![]()
Can't wait to read the trip report from this trip!
OMG! Amazing pics and plans!!!! Now how am I supposed to sleep - ONE WEEK for me!!!!!I think they have a Duke's on Ohau too? Jim was saying he was told that's a must do. He hadn't heard about the hula pie, though. He leaves this Tuesday - he managed to say it about 30 times at his awards banquet on Saturday!

Yes- Duke's is all over the Hawaiian islands- I know there is one in Honolulu. I sent you a pic of the pie before- it's a must-do! Also Lilikoi pie- but that's not a Duke's thing- it's a Hawaiian thing.
Your resort in Kuai looks so beautiful - that scenery looks like it's right out of the movie South Pacific or something - hard to even describe! Keep 'em coming!![]()
OK, first up, YES to gift shop in YC, definitely the best one out there - but walking from YC/BC to DHS? That seems a lot further than from the back door of the BW.... But it's a pretty walk.....
It sure is further!! But we didn't have much choice- we were already nixed off of two boats! Not willing to waste time waiting for a third!
As for Hawaii, I would absolutely DIE on a plane that long!!! But good call on first class coming home. Especially when the return trip is sad enough as it is.....
I swear we stayed at the same resort when we were in Kawai, and did the same tours there, including Waimea Canyon......... It is so pretty but I'll take the Caribbean - it's closer!
The Caribbean is nice, but I think the Hawaiian culture and the beauty of the islands is unparalleled. Not looking forward to the plane, but it will be worth it!
You do not have shave ice in NJ? If that's why you're going to Hawaii, you could save some money and come see me - we have it all over the place!![]()
No, we don't- we have Italian Ice, which is like a rock or slush, or snow cones which are hard and very crunchy. Isn't Shave Ice lighter and can have mac nut ice cream in the bottom, condensed milk on top, or adzuki beans? And you have that in South Carolina? I never knew!![]()
