Jimmy at Shark's Cove
Beach near hotel.
During the morning Bill, Carrie and I walked around a little, while our spouses were at the conference. Then Bill and I headed out for snorkeling. I have never snorkeled and was excited to try it out. It didn't go as planned.
Once I had on all of the gear. My eyes were burning b/c I didn't rinse out the johnson's baby soap from my mask and the waves were beating me up and knocking me down b/c I couldn't walk in my flippers...I quit. Let me add....I love the ocean and I normally barge right in busting through the waves and smiling the whole time doing it. With all of the gear on it was almost claustrophobic and really weird. The ocean was pretty rough so we decided to leave and go to a lagoon since it was a better choice for me to learn how to snorkel without getting beat up by the waves.
Second time worked like a charm. It was very easy and I really like it.
I spent the rest of the day relaxing on the beach and trying out my new snorkeling gear. The beach wasn't as crowded as I would have imagined. The water was nice and clear and there was a little reef right off the beach were we could snorkel. You can see Diamond Head from our hotel.
Dinner tonight was at a restaurant called Shore. I had mongchong with tropical salsa and citrus beets. Very good. We later had drinks at Duke's. Jimmy and I walked back to our hotel on the beach and watched the moon set over the ocean. Beautiful moon.
Day 3:
More relaxing followed by more beach time while spouses were at the conference. Today was spent snorkeling at the beach at the hotel. Carrie and I met Jimmy for lunch then we headed back to the beach again. Jimmy headed back to the conference.
Jen Cox - I had a Blue Hawaiian on this day! Tasty. Did you know it was created in 1957 at the Hilton? I took a picture for you. =)
Dinner tonight was at Nobu. A sushi treat. It was a 12 course meal for 8. Glad we didn't have to pay because I can only imagine how much the bill was. It was wonderful. Thanks Frank! We went to the Yard House after dinner.
Day 4:
More relaxing, more beach time. The boys had a break in the afternoon today so Jimmy and I and Damon and Carrie headed to the North Shore for snorkeling. We went to Sharks Cove. Great stop. The snorkeling was awesome. I saw lots of fish and colorful coral. I also saw the beach where quite a bit of Lost was filmed.....so cool! Wish Sawyer was there....haha =)
We drove past the Dole Farm and saw pineapple growing on the side of the road.
All in all it is pretty easy getting around Oahu. We rented a car so we could drive around. The traffic in Honolulu is very congested but once you get out of the city it is fine and much different scenery. Glad we went in the off season b/c we heard traffic can be much worse.
We had dinner at Jameson's (right by the ocean) in Haleiwa and watched the sunset. Really pretty site. I had shrimp for dinner and a few fruity drinks.
