Hawaii

Tracie was pulled aside in Melbourne and asked to go thru the new full body x ray machine. She said they checked all her bangles also. Flight over was  good,the ten  hours went quick. Unfortunately no sleep on the plane though.

Jetstar provide iPads at a cost of $18 each. They have movies, games and Tv shows on them.

Arrived in Honolulu about 6.30am. Tracie once again pulled aside by customs. This time I was not permitted to stay with her so went downstairs picked up the luggage  and waited for her. After about 20  to 25 minutes she found me. Apparently it was a spot check. I thought the shuttle bus would be gone, but they waited for us, god bless the Hawaiians!

Took about 45 mins to get to our hotel. Checked in but room not ready until about 2.00 pm.  Weren't walking around to get our bearings for five  hours. Along the way we met Adam. He is a pre med student selling creams in his cousins shop for some spending money. He would have to be the best salesman in the entire world.  Anyway after purchasing a few small items from him he gave us his email address and invited us to visit him in Israel.

Hawaii has  changed  a lot since I was last here. Nearly every street corner has a person trying to sell something. It can be very hard to get away from them. Also the nice little shops are all gone, they have been replaced with designer stores, Victorias Secret,Louis Vuitton etc, the good news is there is a Macy's store.

Went to the Hard Rock cafe for dinner. Had a lovel grilled salmon Caesar  salad. Went home and into bed by about 8.30.......slept like a log. The bed and pillows are just so comfy.

Day 2
Up T 10.00am, went down to breaks,lovely spot and good food, then wenttohVemy free makeup from Karen, the lady I met at Macy's yesterday. She did a really nice job.  I bought some nice Estée Lauder makeup and hanged it to Gregs account....... Surprise!

Went  to the beach to meet Tracie.  The hotel gives you a seat and Rowell so I took my book and had a little read.

We have decided to have seafood tonight not far from the hotel, off to get ready now.
