I don't have a lot of time to write at the moment (we're supposed to go snorkeling in 30 minutes) but I wanted to upload some pictures so far.
We arrived on Thursday night and immediately got laidleid.

After arriving at the hotel and checking in, we headed to the pool bar for our first round of drinks.

Don't worry - that's a virgin drink for Sammi.
Followed by dinner with Andy and Katy (and the boys).
.
Friday morning, we headed out early (6:30am pickup) for a tour of Pearl Harbor.
.
That afternoon, the girls bagged but Chris and I went for a tour of the North Shore with Girasoli.
Great time and we saw sea turtles!

That night, the gang (bro's family and us) all went to dinner to celebrate Katy's birthday.

On Saturday morning, we got up early and headed to the airport for our flight to Maui. The hotel is beautiful and there are parrots in the lobby.

And penguins!

After finally, a view from our room.

I'll post more later when I have some time but wanted to give you all a little taste.

Kim, welcome to Maui.
I hope the road closure due to fire yesterday did not interfere with your plans.
The view from your hotel is,oh so familiar and beautiful.
I'll call you.
Have fun.

Kim, great pics. And now you must be at the Hyatt--recognize the penquin and bird. Keep having a great time.
