PS

It's been a busy last few days for us and I forgot to post photos of two other highlights of our trip, so here goes:


DOLPHIN QUEST

Rick and the kids went for an amazing swim with dolphins in the Hilton Lagoon while the rest of us we were able to sit nearby and watch the fun.

Although it was a short period of time fun was definitely had by all three of them!

 

 

 

 

Hualalai Resort - aka Four Seasons 

 

 

We decided that we needed to have an evening out to see how the 'other half' live it up so we headed out one night to check out the Four Seasons Resort.  Upon reaching the place we turned off the highway and drove up to the 'check-in' hut with a gate that is manned 24 hours by hotel staff.  Here they ask if you're checking in, in a veiled way to to actually figure out why you're there.  We advised that we were there for cocktails and then we were graciously let through to spend our vacation dollars.

 

 



 

The open hotel lobby was the epitomy old traditional Hawaiian opulence, complete with soft music and fragrant flowers.

 

 

 

We raised our glasses to toast another memorable vacation (with cocktails the price of a dinner!)

 

 

 

So that's it - the last of our Hawaiian holiday.
