Hawaii - Day 1

Ah, it feels good to be home again. I am one of the lucky people that has no problem falling asleep on planes, so the early morning flights are beginning to become more appealing to me. If I stay up late the night before the flight, then I can usually sleep all the way through the fight and wake up right before landing. Today the five-hour flight was condensed into about one-and-a-half hours of consciousness. I only woke up to drink the complimentary juice and eat the meal.

Jeannette and I at Ko Olina

My friend Jeannette was able to come along with me for her first trip to Hawaii. Yea! I get to play tour guide again. Showing someone the sights of Oahu is always fun because it allows me to see things through a set of new eyes again. Today we were still kind of tired from all the travelling so we just went to Ko Olina beach outside of the Ihilani Hotel. Afterwards we ate dinner at Da Big Kahuna Pizza. I really like that place. It's a hole-in-the-wall place that has really good pizza and these excellent garlic cheese dots. If you're ever on Oahu, look it up. Tomorrow the plan is to go to Hanauma Bay and then site-see in Waikiki.
