We love Hawaii so much that we have gone almost every year since the girls were teeny tiny babies. We took a break in 2018 to travel to Panama. I was happy to return to the islands of Aloha where it'd be less exploring and more relaxing.
During our nine days on Oahu, we found ourselves feeling at home with the familiar stomping grounds we have gotten to know. There was our condo in Turtle Bay the first several nights where we swam in the pool and the ocean. We visited the nearby Saturday Farmer's Market, where we ran into some farmer's we met two years ago. Of course, we had happia pie from Teds and breakfast at Hukilau Cafe. It feel nice to be away but feeling at home.
Before we headed to Ko Olina to meet up with our Hawaii travel buddies, the Haas-Jajeh clan, we did a few new things too. We hiked to Hidden Beach, took in a movie at musty theatre (the new Lego movie was awful; I read on my Kindle reader through most of it!), tried to get used to the unusually cooler weather and stopped to say hello to some horses in a nearby pasture. Nothing too extreme, just mellow, which was very welcome by all.
This trip to Hawaii felt different to me. When it was time to go, I felt our time was not done, like she wanted to us to visit longer. We may be taking a break next year for a more exploring type of holiday but who knows, the land of Aloha may see us sooner than we think.
Mahalo, Hawaii.
