Hawaii


Aloha...
The Millers just returned from a great getaway in Hawaii. We stayed with some good friends Chuck and Barb in Kaneohe on the island of Oahu. The kids loved the beaches and different marine life. They were able to see various fish, sea turtles, and even an octopus that a local had harpooned for dinner. We were fortunate to play on a different beach each of the five days we were there. I think if all we did was play on the beach, the kids would have been as happy as a pig in mud! The weather was great and a little rain every day, usually first thing in the morning and then it was gone and sunny 87 with a low of about 74. The kids enjoyed going to the luau at the polynesion cultural center, and especially enjoyed watching the locals climb coconut trees, retrieving them and cracking them open with a rock. During our reality getaway, we noticed the latest ICBF wait times came out, and again siblings 0-5 wait time decreased a little. This year started at about 37 months, and now down to about 34 months. At this pace, we are probably looking at about spring to summer of 2013 for travel time.
