ALOHA, OAHU! Celebrating 20 years since we honeymooned in Maui, I suggested to Sheldon it might be time to return to the islands... BUT I asked to bring our kids along AND to invite my folks and all my brothers and families to meet us there since this would be our trip for the year?! Dream come true!
A direct flight from Anchorage to Honolulu on Thursday, November 20, we spent the first night and day at Marriott's Ko'olina Villa Beach Resort about 20 min. west of the city. A luxurious treat from Jeff & Janelle's folks' award points... Gorgeous rooms, grounds, beaches, and pools!
Mom and Dad, Mary Kaye and Roger Klein were so happy to have all of us together. :)
These Alaskans were ready to soak up some sun!
That evening we headed to our Plantation Estate on the north side.
Refreshing swimming pool, bluff behind, and beach before.
We each had our own spaces, though Jordan and Brandon's room was a fun hang-out!
Grandma and Grandpa made a Costco run, and we enjoyed cooking our meals together in the kitchen (with the bugs!)
After breakfast we'd head to the beach or out to explore!
Friday, Nov. 21 we went for a hike and then to a little beach before lunch.

Sunday, November 23, we went snorkeling at Hanauma Bay.
The boys had a blast with their flippers and go-pros! Cool schools of fish, coral, and a big sea turtle. :)
