The Diversion!

(This was at 5:30 am on the beach! It was a great morning! Coffee, beach and Jesus time! Great way to start the day!)

Aloha!

So you know how I said we were going to go to Hanauma Bay and snorkel, and go kayaking and all that really cool stuff.... well none of that happened! Told you Hawaiian time is different. No it really wasn't Hawaiian time.

We went to Hanauma Bay and when we pulled up the lady said it was full and just to keep circling around until it was open. Well so we tried this a few times and there was no use. People go there to spend the day there so really if we wanted to go we should have gotten there first thing that morning. Oh well... you learn. Because of this Laura and I did get to see some places we might not have stopped at. We stopped at this scenic point on the side of the road and saw this beauty!




After we gave up going to the bay we decided to go to Kailua beach instead. It is suppose to be one of the prettiest beaches with the most beautiful waters. So we started driving! We were bummed but still excited to go to Kailua.

On the way there we saw that there was a stop to see a blowhole. It was crowded so we knew we had to stop and take pictures and see it!





Well we got back in the car and were off... we needed to get gas in the car so we pulled into the first one that we saw. Laura pulled in like normal and pushed the button to open the tank and it wasn't until then did she notice that the tank was on the other side of the car. ha. well she didn't want to turn the car around so this is what she did.



Isn't that hilarious! I was cracking up! I still am cracking up just thinking about it. Her response was.. "who would put the gas tank on the other side of the car!"

Well we got to Kailua and it truly was beautiful!



The sand was nice and soft. The water was so clear and beautiful... but there is a catch. Kailua is on what they call the windward side of the island. You can say that again. It was SOOO windy! So the sand was beautiful until it started blowing in your face the whole time and sticking to you! it was pretty until you started to lay down on the beach and get sand in your ears and up your nose. I am still trying to get all the sand out!

We were there about and hour and left! When we got back to Waikiki...I had to redeem the Kailua beach by going to our private beach and enjoying the peacefulness of it! :)

The day finished nice with finishing Pride and Prejudice and then seeing this....




It was a good day even with the improvising!


Well I am off to the beach! Check back tomorrow for pictures from the Luau we are going to tonight!

Mahalo and Aloha!
