we leave in only a couple weeks and had to wait due to scheduling for Matt's work...but we're going. we missed some good deals and i even lost out on a cool, boutique hotel opportunity, but what matters is that we're going and that we're going to be together, on one last big hurrah before the baby comes in June :)
the island of Oahu, is where we're going, to be exact. several peeps have said, "don't go there" but Matty and i are going anyways. he had some great referrals from a friend that i think was stationed there, who is also a photographer, who said he loves Oahu and just to get out of Waikiki and explore what the rest of the island has to offer...so that's our plan.
we are not even really beach people, but i love the idea of walking on the beach. and considering I'm going to be 5 months pregnant, we'll just have some great fun exploring for a week! we're excited to get away and enjoy some time together, making memories!
here are some of Trevor's photos from his blog, they are much better than anything found on the Internet...enjoy:
we plan to go to a Polynesian luau and even possibly whale watching, visit the Pearl Harbor memorial, go to the North Shore to watch some surfers catch some waves and explore the diamond head crater.
i really wanted to "swim with the dolphins" or pet them or whatever, but we realized you can't if you're pregnant:( that was a sad day, I've always wanted to get up close to a dolphin. we are excited about the whale watching, esp since we're going during the right season for it...but I'm a little nervous. i think i need to email the company b/c on their site, they said sometimes the whales swim up real close to the boat and have even swam under the boats before. not sure what i think about that. the last thing i want is to have a huge whale tip our boat over and land in the water with some of these:
or a giant one of these, for that matter.
I'd much rather spot them from a football field away.
oh and i don't want to see any of this happening either:
or be on the island, while a tsunami is heading that way :/
oh, the fears we have!
