Hawaii trip

Andy and I, along with our friends Clint, Christina, Jack and Shawna, took an adults-only trip to Hawaii. We had a really good time, even though we had quite the adventure getting there.

Our morning flight out of Arcata was cancelled so at 12:45 am, we loaded up and headed towards San Francisco. This may not seem all the crazy. However, highway 101 was completely shut down due to a massive mud slide. Have no fear! Jack and Clint knew of an alternate route. It was interesting to say the least! The road was bumpy and curvy. There was snow on part of it. And it was so foggy that we couldn't see the road. Did that stop us from getting to Hawaii??? No way! We made it to Santa Rosa and picked up our good friend, Matt Parlato, and he took us to the shuttle bus. And then we were headed to San Francisco airport. We all got a little sleep in and made it to our plane with no problems. Whew!

We stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village on Waikiki on the island of Oahu. The day we arrived was Andy's birthday and the following day was Christina's so we had a good time celebrating.

I really didn't take very many pictures but here are a few...







The weather was great. The company was great. The shopping was great. And lucky for us, the kids had a great time with all of their grandparents. Thanks Chet, Karen, Pam, Charlie, Mom and Dad!
