Dream Trip 2009

Great Travel Moment

We were so excited to be in Hawai'i for the first time together: the first time ever for my husband. We had been married just under 4 years and couldn't afford a honeymoon. We felt so blessed to be in Hawai'i on business and to experience the beautiful islands and spirit of aloha. As VIPs on this trip we were treated as royalty - how appropriate since we were staying at the Royal Hawaiian. As we entered our pink oceanfront room, the blinds were already drawn, the windows open so we could see, touch and smell everything we dreamed of. It was mid-afternoon with a slight breeze, the sound of the waves below mixed with the giggles of children on the sand. When we had our first real glimpse of what lay ahead, an unobstructed view of Diamond Head and this catamaran-palm tree beckoned us to the salty water.
