Hawaii Day 4 & 5

Day 4:

This was our last full day in Hawaii and we took full advantage of it. Once again the day started early with breakfast on the beach and a swim. The rest of the morning was spent shopping. We walked down the street to the International Market and perused all the goods on display. We found plenty of souvenirs for family and friends as well as ourselves. We ate lunch at the food court in the middle of the marketplace and then headed back to the hotel to change back into our swimsuits and hit the beach for the rest of the afternoon. We swam, built sandcastles, and searched for seashells. Jim rented a boogie board and hit the waves. Sadie and I got to try out the boogie board as well. After several hours of fun, we were pretty worn out. We changed our clothes at the hotel and went to a little pub around the corner for dinner. We watched the sun set over the water for the last time from the balcony of the pub. When we got our food Sadie took two bites and then laid her head on the table and went to sleep. I guess all that sun and surf finally caught up with her. Jim and I were pretty tired and not so hungry ourselves. We hit one more souvenir shop on our way out and stopped by a Starbucks for a muffin for the morning and then called it a night.

Day 5:

Our very last day started too early – we had to leave at 4:00 a.m. to catch our flight home. We all said a very sad Farwell to Hawaii and boarded the plane. We flew to San Francisco and had a three hour lay over so we ate some good soup in sourdough bowls and walked around the airport until our final flight home. Finally after traveling all day long we got home at about 10:00 p.m. We were all tired and happy to be home. It was a wonderful trip and we all had an amazing time. Once again, pictures are at our gallery.
