Hawaii, Here We Are

We finally arrived in Hawaii on Tuesday the 9th. It was a long and gruelling trip with a 9 month old on a 9 1/2 hour flight. But, we made it. The hotel was, however, a nightmare in the beginning. The first room wasn't clean and had ants around the kitchen sink. The second room wasn't safe for Gwyn. The shower spout was all mangled and ragged. The transition piece from tile to carpet had screws sticking out. So, we settled in on our third room. It's nice, finally.

In two days, we picked up the car, found a temporary place to live, took care of Hera's trip over and went to the beach. The car was already here which made things so much easier. Now, all it needs is a bath. I am still working on that. Hera will hopefully be flying over on the 22nd. She has no idea what is about to happen to her.

Our temporary house. Well, I believe the community used to be government housing. We have a three bedroom house with a beautiful view of the beach. There is a fitness center, day care, preschool/elementary school, Nex mini-mart and gas station. It's not the most beautiful house in the world, but it puts a roof over our head and money in our pockets.

Below are a few pictures from around the island. There will be more to come.
