Photo Journal of Hawaii



We made it back to Japan! An 8.5 hour flight and 6 hours of trains and train stations later... :) At the moment I am madly trying to both unpack and repack so we can make it for our afternoon flight to Kyoto (slightly different climate than our last trip), but thought I should at least post pictures from our Hawaii trip so they don't get overlooked with our next pictures from Kyoto. As you will see in the pictures, we had a wonderful, full couple of weeks on Oahu. When Hyatt wasn't working, we spent most of our time at the beach, whether Barbers Point, the Lagoons, Pipeline, Sunset, or Mauna Pu'u. Brian and Hyatt got in some great bodyboarding, Chris learned to surf, Hyatt and I got to brush up on our surfing skills, and Kaiya adapted to life on the beach. We also made a trip out to Sea Life Park, in memory of our day trip there almost exactly 4 years ago (our first married Easter together). Sadly, the pirate ship was no longer there, so our pictures were not quite the same, but the dolphin show was fun and the penguins were adorable. The newest update on Kaiya's growing progess is that she is very much loving the new freedom she's found with her ability to stand. She pulls herself up on whatever she can find that is at the right height and is able to stand up holding on for quite a while. Kaiya really enjoyed standing on her seat on the train ride yesterday and watching Tokyo out the window!

Now here are the pictures... probably not in the correct order...

























And here is us in 2004 at Sea Life Park, back when the pirate ship was still there, and my hair was orange.
