Aloha!

We made it to Waikiki somehow! šŸ˜‚
The past week feels like a blur, what with packing up the house, stopping over in Vegas, flying to Honolulu, and getting settled in our rental condo in the Royal Kuhio.  Whew!
I've decided that it's okay to be tired.

Here are a few photo highlights:

    2. Okay, the Steeler-Houston game was played in Pittsburgh. Is that a shot taken from the blimp going over? That was not the game you saw in Vegas.

    3. That shot must have been from a blimp. We were watching this game in Vegas in the CIRCA Sports Book!

  7. Oh I wish I could have hidden away in your suit case. LOL A very nice travel guide. 6 drinks at once, my kind of bartender. LOL I love the photo of the 3 amigos. Your room is awesome and so is that dinner at Marugame Udon. A very pretty kitty too. Thank you for sharing with FFO and have a great, great time.

    1. We had one pound to spare in our big suitcase, Nicole! šŸ˜‚ Some of the Vegas bartenders have unreal skills. At Marugame Udon you can watch them make the udon noodles on site, and they are delicious. It was just what we needed when we were tired from traveling and unpacking. We have 445 q. ft. in our condo, not counting the lanai. So far we haven't come to blows. šŸ˜‚. Wishing you a great weekend. ❤️

  12. It sounds like you're having a great month. I love how you described your days and the flight. Just enough that you explained it perfectly. And Hawaii looks warm and beautiful since it's snowing here today in New Hampshire. Enjoy. hugs-Erika
