Adventures in paradise

We had a delightful visit with our friends,Bev and Jon Stephenson, from Philadelphia serving at  BYUHawaii.Here we are at the Polynesian Cultural Center getting  ready for our adventure into the different cultures in the Pacific Islands. If you havent been it is a must ! The Luau and show is Broadway spectacular and the food great.
The beaches were not crowded, we found many fun souvenirs
Jim  stays covered 

Me, I love the sun!

. This drift  wood wouldnt fit in my suitcase and the coral was way too heavy
Sometimes it was windy and we still dont know how to take selfies


We stayed two blocks from  the  round a bout that leads one way to the beach and the other to the Laie Temple. great location ! We  walked everywhere.


On Sunday Bev drove us further North to  all the famous North Shore beaches..
One day we took the local bus and found some great hikes
Our last ride was in this Tow Truck! long story, but our new friend, a student offered to take us to the airport and 5:20am but it seems that his car// van/ rolling home couldnt make it  out of the  tunnel so we coasted down the road into Honolulu toward the airport. but not quite.  We tried making many other arrangements before our departure and it  is only a miracle that we made it with minutes to spare.  Lucky for us !

It is also lucky and  we each had great books to read.


So we say, Aloha ! and Thanks for the memories
