Our Hawaii trip

I've had so many people ask me to put our trip on the blog. It will be longs so I'll do it in sections according to days.

We went on a 7 day cruise on Norwegian cruise line starting in Oahu. It was such a fun vacation with so much to see and not enough time.

Day 1 Saturday

We went a day later than most of Ken's family because I couldn't leave the kids for longer than a week. We got into Hawaii a few hours before the deadline to get onto the boat. We hung out for the rest of the night eating, exploring the boat and talking. Everyone was assigned an island or a stop with activities or excursions planned. It work out nice so we weren't sitting on the boat everyday trying to decide what to do. We also didn't have to worry about where to eat which made it less stressful, hop onto the boat and eat.

If you look to the left of this picture, you will see a very secure woman getting out of the pool. There were a lot of these woman, i was not one of them.
Day 2 Sunday

We docked in Maui in the morning and were off the boat by 10. We rented 3 jeeps for the next 2 day we spent there.
After renting the jeeps we drove south to Makena, snorkeled, boogie board and relaxed.


We left after a few hours and went for a scenic drive around the west side of the island along the coast. We drove on a small road sometime only large enough for 1 car along cliffs. It was so beautiful but some of us were a little too nervous to fully enjoy the scenery. We stopped at a blowhole called Nakele for some pictures and laughs.
I didn't realize we were in the Kurtz picture so i guess we deserved this.
We headed back to the boat to eat dinner and prepare for the next day.
