Comin back to the Island

It was so hard for me to get on the plane to come back to Hawaii because I had so much fun back home with friends and family..but I was ready to get back to Chandler...

My flight from Vegas back to the Island was not bad. Luckily it was not a packed flight and I had my whole row to myself to lay down all the way! I was able to sleep the WHOLE time. I never sleep on planes, so I was happy about that!
Flying always amazes me. Every single time I fly I am literally mesmerized looking out the window. I just love it. I am too, always so thankful for arriving safely with no problems. I make an effort to look my pilot in the eyes and tell him "thank you" sincerely as we all walk off the plane and pass him standing near the plane door! And plus they are always so nice from the cockpit when speaking to their passengers on Hawaiian Air!


Here we are arriving to Oahu and right over Diamond Head an extinct Volcano right East of Waikiki (called Diamond Head because diamonds were once discovered there)
As you can see too, the waves are a decent size in Waikiki (and our shadow;))



Here in Honolulu and Waikiki (we live in the middle of that pretty much!)


This is Ala Moana Beach and Park... Its a nice beach we like to go to near my work and our house that is clean! You can see that huge reef just out a ways from the shore line.. people walk over that to surf and paddle board on the other side (out deeper in the ocean)
My sweet husband was patiently waiting for me to get back to Hawaii- He had a beautiful bouquet of roses for me when I walked out of baggage claim. He is so great! Just knows how to get me every time with the kindest thoughts! I was happy to be home again with him! (our first time apart since we've been married) Its probably good for us but better for us to be together! ;)
Thanks hun!

Glad you made it back safe! I know what you mean about leaving your fam. It is always hard for me too! But SO great to get back to the hubs and HAWAII! The pics you took are absolutely stunning. We went to Maui on our Honeymoon and I have always wanted to go back. Maybe some day! I'll keep my fingers crossed ;)
