We set off for Hawaii late on April 4 and arrived in Honolulu just in time for bed. We noticed a couple of mosquitoes during the night but thought nothing of it. We easily passed 100 bites in between us in the next 24 hours. Pia and Isabella took the prize with more than 90 percent of the bites but overall they were very good sports about it. It’s the first time we’ve encountered mosquitos on the islands and we hope they will move on to different corners of the world before we – or anybody dear to us – return or arrive.
We drove around the Oahu and we made a couple of regular stops but also stopped at a couple of new sights – one of them a fairly deserted beach close to the Shrimp Truck. Unfortunately the wet weather made it impossible to stay more than a minute so we rushed back to the car as quick as we had left it. Lanikai remains a favorite – except when parking tickets are handed out…
The Easter Bunny made it all the way to Hawaii but seemed to have had trouble finding good spots in the condo. All eggs were found right after the hunt was started. Girls enjoyed their time at the Outrigger and at the pool and once again proved that the human body will not dissolve after five hours of continued soaking.
We left on a red-eye flight six days later and arrive back home at 6:45 in the morning. We got some extra sleep on the plane while they unloaded 4,000 pounds of corn seed that had made the 767 too heavy to land in San Francisco.
There are some images from the trip here.
