A TASTE OF PARADISE

Well our time in Hawaii was full of sun,  fun, relaxation and great adventures.  We stayed on North Shore in a condo at Turtle Bay.  It was lovely, quiet an conveniently located to BYUH and the other fun on North Shore.
 
  
  

The surf at Sunset and Waimai Bay was incredible.  Of course we watched from a distance with occasional walks along the warm and beautiful shorelineWe saw some amazing tide pools at Chun's beach and of course enjoyed the "shave ice".


  
  
  
  

We spent some time in Kauai with our friends Lee and Kathleen.  They always show us such beautiful places on that island and it was good to see them again.
 

  
  

Perhaps our most wonderful time was spent with our dear Indian friends who are at BYUH.  They are so excited to be going to school there and are experiencing such good and enriching cultural and spiritual growth.  We met them on campus for lunch, took them all for dinner one night and went to church together.   What a blessing it was for us to feel of their tremendous spirits once again .
 

  
  
  
A trip to Hawaii would not be complete without a stop at the PCC, especially since all of our Indian friends work there.  The new evening show is amazing and teaches the Plan of Salvation through the Polynesian  history and culture.


  
  
And last but not least we spent a day hiking through the Waimai Valley and botanical gardens to the waterfalls.  It was such a perfect way to end a perfect (minus the Tsunami) holiday.

Sounds like a perfect vacation. How fun it must be to sport around in casual clothes once again, but don't get me wrong....We love what we are doing at this exact moment and we know it'll be over before we are ready. Love ya!
