The Honeymoon Condensed Version
Well, I know this is all catch up info, so I will try and keep this brief. Our honeymoon story is pretty funny though so ask me more details if you will :]
Bill's parents sent us to Hawaii, Oahu, for our honeymoon!!
It was so amazing! So breathtakingly beautiful AND also really fun because we got to use our Japanese! And eat Japanese food too! (the waitress at this restaurant, though, kept eye-flirting with Bill and I didn't like that all that much, but Bill didn't notice cause he was too into me, so that I did like very much!) ;]
We took in the sites in our week long visit
The Swap Meet
Pearl Harbor,
the native wildlife
Hanauma Bay where we went snorkeling hand in hand! SO awesome!
We took a helicoper ride all around the island!!
There is where "Lost" and other movies have been filmed
Looks like you can see King Kong's shadow!
Here is the Dole pineapple plantation from the sky
Pearl Harbor and the "Black Tears" of the brave men who died in the Arizona
This is BOB our helicoper pilot
Driving in Hawaii is crazy! If you get off the highway there isn't always a place right there to get back on! So we got lost quite a few times!
We planted a pineapple at the Dole plantation. Free labor...
...but then we ate all the pineapple they used in this pineapple cutting demo so I guess we'll call it even ;]
We got lost in the pineapple maze.
We went swimming at this bay who's name I can't spell, and I had never swum in the ocean before so I was very ignorant about waves and their power!
I got sucked into a rolling wave and washed down the beach, rolling over and under the gripping waves!! sand and water everywhere! I couldn't get out! I didn't know which way was up! The waves kept sucking me under water!! Bill rushed into the fray and pulled me out! He saved my life! My hero!!!
That was also Bill's birthday!
We went to the Temple with Miyuki and Justin.
And went to the PCC.
THEN, on our last morning, the day we were supposed to check out of our hotel, there was an earthquake!!
The earth must have still been shaking when we took this picture!
The power was out and we didn't know what to do. Our cell phones didn't work either! All we knew what that we were supposed to check out of our hotel room at 11 am! so we locked our key in our room and went to the elevators with all our bags just as they stopped working and all the electricity went out!! We had a picnic in pitch blackness by the elevator doors, hoping that the power would come back on and we didn't have to use the stairs!
But to no avail. We had to lug all our luggage down 22 flights of stairs with only the light from our cell phones to guide us!! Since no restaurants were open due to lack of electricity, and since no one knew how long it would take, hours or maybe even days, till the electricity came back on, we waiting in a line for 45 minutes just to get basic food supplies from the ABC store!
We finally found a pay phone and got in touch with our friends the Sonomuras who graciously let us stay with them. We called the airport and found that our flight had been canceled and we wouldn't be able to get out for another week!! The Sonomuras let us stay with them for the next two nights :] They are amazing!
So with our extra week we stayed with locals and got more of the local experience as opposed to our first week as tourists.
We found an awesome Japanese temple
We hung out with Metta!! And stayed a night at her family's house
We swam at local hot spot beaches
Ate where the locals ate
Stayed with friends we didn't even know we had
Until our flight came and we flew back the Vegas, met his parents who'd brought our car to the airport so we could drive directly to Kanab where we made it to my own bridal shower only 40 minutes late!
And that, my friends, is the CONDENSED version of Bill's and my honeymoon! :]
