Aloha!
We've had such a great start to our trip, that we're prepared for everything to go downhill from here. In saying that we're sure it wont! Our overnight flight to Hawaii was as good as can be expected and we landed smoothly listening to "Forever Young" which was playing on the loud speakers. Jue, as usual, has planned well for his family booking into a luxury hotel for the first few nights (it can be seen in the background of this photo).
The girls are making the most of their time here by establishing a relaxing routine of alternating swimming and eating sessions. Waikiki has fantastic swimming areas for children. Tanned buxom bikini clad bodies are everywhere and surfing schools also line the beaches. I have eaten my first condiment filled hotdog including sport peppers and pickles. A distinct lack of healthy breakfast cereals has delighted the girls who have now tasted Coco Puffs, Frosty Flakes and Lucky Charms.
Tomorrow we fly to San Jose and as we have already been through customs, it shouldn't be too difficult to then make our way quickly up to San Fransico. By the way, as we are travelling with children we were able to avoid the massive 1 1/2 hour custom queue. We were kindly taken to an express lane and only had to wait behind two people. We wonder if San Fran will have as many human statues as Oahu - hope not! Jamila is obsessed with them and our spare change is being spent seeing what they do when they move.
