Aloha!

Well we survived the 8 hour plane ride, and now I sort of understand what Cyndy and Bill are talking about....we had to struggle to stay awake until 8:30 last night, but seem to be adjusting okay today. We spent some time at the beach and did a nice hike up to Diamond Head today. We were told it was only a mile from our hotel so in an effort to save money we decided to walk there and then do the hike. Oops...it was more like 2.5-3 miles just to get to the hike. So we got to see some of the local life here in Honolulu. Matt has a team building thing tomorrow where the are having a grill-off. Each team gets ingredients and they have to cook/grille it however they see best, then it is judged and the spouses get to come eat it! So I will get to hang with some of the other wives tomorrow morning. We are mostly enjoying doing things like...reading a book and not reading the same paragraph 50 times, applying sunscreen to only one body a day, having a snack all to ourselves, going to the beach with nothing more than a towel and book, sitting on a beach towel at the beach with no sand on it....etc. So thanks mom and dad for watching the kids. We are having a great time - each day feels like about 10 days!
