You may not get to hear from me for a while, so here goes a quick update from the end of our trip to Hawaii.

Friday highlights:
Woke up early to catch the 8:15 bus to Hanauma bay for snorkeling
Snorkeled for a few hours (that is tiring, believe it or not!) and saw some corrugated corals in green and yellow, as well as some sea urchins and a variety of tropical fish
Took the bus to Diamond Head Crater, hiked up the hill to the entrance, then hiked a steep, rocky, hot trail to the top and took some pictures of the view of Waikiki and Honolulu
hiked back down, waited for the bus, and ended up taking a limo back to our hotel–no worries, it was $3 each and it was the nastiest limo ever
went out for dinner at Outback Steak House

Saturday highlights:
slept in a bit
worked out
read and had coffee on our balcony
took our boogie board to the beach and stayed out for several hours–we played hard and got sand all in our suits
cleaned up and went out for coffee
went to dinner at “Cheeseburger in Paradise”–thanks, Karise for the tip! My burger had grilled pineapples and avocadoes
shopped for souvenirs
packed lunches, packed up room, and watched movies while getting everything done

I should be asleep now. We’re getting picked up at 5:30 a.m. and our wakeup call is at 4. Blech. Hopefully there will be more details later.
