hawaii or bust part 1

the flight to hawaii really wasn't that bad and we got there about half hour earlier than expected. kaylee was a super good girl during the whole flight. i had gotten her some new toys to play with but she mostly watched alvin and the chipmunks. my only mistake was not packing enough food. since it was just the beginning of the trip we really didn't feel like paying $5 for a snack box or $7 for a sandwich. yep, that's how much united was asking. at least our water and pop was free. we got a nice taxi ride to our hotel which by the way rocked. we stayed at the outrigger in waikiki. on the way to the hotel was tons and tons of shopping and restaurants. shops were places that i couldn't step my foot in: tiffanys, coach, burberry, prada, juicy culture and bebe just to name a few. some of the shopping centers had 3 levels!! now that's a lot of shopping. here we are getting some bites at the hula grill which was located in our hotel.

after eating we walked around some to check everything out. the weather was perfect. it did rain a little once we stepped foot onto hawaii soil but it didn't last long.

these men were hand carving beside a hotel.


ham wanted to buy one after the cruise but we could'nt find them again. forgot where they were located at. since its a six hour time difference we were all pretty much jet lagged and went to sleep pretty early.
