Hawaii 2010!

Trent and I finally made the commitment to take a vacation to Hawaii! Since I work for an airline and get travel perks, we are continually asked why we don't go more places - if anything at least Hawaii.

So we went on Monday Dec 13 through Friday Dec 17. We ended up choosing the island of Maui.

One of the best parts about our travels was that we got first class on our flight over. Once you have ever had first class, you crave it when you are forced to sit in coach. Besides, first class on a 5 1/2 hour flight really helps the time go by too.

We didn't load up our week with things to do all day. This was truly a vacation where we relax. For some reason we just don't ever get that chance. So the idea of leaving it all behind and finding a week of peace was the best gift to ourselves.

Some of our activities included going to the beach many times, driving to Hana (a road that has over 600 hair pin turns - and you only go about 15 miles an hour), seeing a lava cave/tunnel, driving the "forbidden" back side of the island, and eating lots of fresh fish.

The best part of it all...Trent is sold on going again! (For those who don't know, his idea of vacation is in the woods, nature, mountains - mine is a beach)

It was a great time!

Aloha
