Day ..What day is it?

I seriously have not been keeping track of the days. I have to constantly check our itinerary (laugh now but when you are looking for your res # for your rental car in all the paperwork in your bag, you will be wishing you had an itinerary).
Today we moved from one resort to another. It was literally a block away from where we were staying.

The sucky thing about our entire trip is that im still in work mode. Every time we go to another hotel I inspect the room. Or i rate the front desk agents at their checking in skills. So far only one hotel has been good. I will post the hotels i traveled to after my vacation. More pics to come. Im just too lazy to convert the 8mgpx pics to a smaller file so they can fit here. So you are going to have to wait because I am on vacation. I have to say, I'm very proud of the hotel I work for and would not trade it for anything.



Oh yeah,
Update on the last 2 days of activities. We dedicated one day as our Chilax day.
The following day we went on a road trip to Kula Botanical Garden. Im a nature person and love the outdoors. Their garden has been in the family for 35 years i think. It was beautiful. Again, I will not pretend to know all the names of the trees, flowers and plants (although 15 years ago I was in a horticulture club) but take my word that they had a wide variety of things to look at.



Today is my 2 year wedding anniversary. I feel that we just got married but at the same time feel like an old soul that has grown with her mucho. But then again we have a lot of things that we need to experience as a married couple.. Kids for example, or growing old and wrinkly together. I feel that the lord hits our "reset" button whenever we hit a new plateau in our relationship. What I mean is that we have to learn to deal with each other in a new situation or circumstances. True that we know each other already but its a small adjustment period. Again im going to use kids, here comes the lord, "reset for you", and bam we are pregnant. Now the husband (me) would have to learn a great deal of new things. Wife would have to get ready for the new changes to her body and hormones. Then we have a child..here comes the lord again "reset" and just like Emerald....BAM... You are now parents. Dad learns do's and don'ts of childcare. Mom would again go through new hormones, how to change her child, both parents waking up to feed the baby, ect. The point is that when we feel that we are in a confort zone, our reset button is pressed and we learn new things about life. In the elevator today came in a couple with their 2 kids, they were about 4 and 5. Then another passanger, an elderly couple. I was thinking "Wow, a representation of stages in life". I would have said that if another family with teenagers would have popped in the elevator. That and the carpet of the elevator needed to be shampooed, dirty wet dog smell.
Now I'm just rambling. My point, these are some things that we are going to go through in life. Our second anniversary.. we have a long way to go. :)

I ended up finding this at a seven 7-eleven... no spam yet. Its raining so i will take my palm tree pic later.

No Hawaiian Punch yet

Today's mission is to find some Hawaiian punch.
I have the Hawaii five-o episode and plenty of palm trees. No spam yet though.
I have compiled a lot of ketchup pics. Will post later today.

Waikiki Day 2 and 3

For some reason im tired. I need a vacation from this vacation.

Day 2 brought on snorkling at Haunauma Bay. Beautiful. Concierge said that we were too late due to the parking being full by now (10am, yeah we started late). We ended up going anyway. "sorry lots full", said the attendant. :(
"you are going to have to drive up and down the road and check back later". double :(
We took some pictures with the other tourists at a scenic view area close to the Bay.
We got lucky because we turned around and went back to the lot and lo and behold it was open.. tripple :)
Again, the entire place was beautiful. I must say that people are charged for everything. Its understood but when you get charged for the free chips at a mexican restaurant.....no bueno man, no bueno.
Going back to the bay, it took 20 minutes to aid my wife in getting familiar with her snorkling gear. She's a fast learner, im proud of her. Saw plenty of fish, yellow, pink, blue, and even red just like ketchup bottles. Ok, maybe not red and just for your information I don't feel like looking up the names of the native fish that we saw, so i give you colors.
We must have been there for about 3 and a half hours. I figured out that my hispanico brown skin does burn, but i will survive.
We worked up an appetite and went to a Mexican joint (out of all places) called La Cucaracha. Another 6 dolla fruit drink...
Walked off the dinner and called it a night.
