Lazy First day of 2007


Today the day was a lazy one. Everyone slept in after a late New Years Eve. The fireworks last night were unbelievable. The people down on the beach were the amazement of the night. We are guessing there were about 100,000 people on the beach watching the fireworks. Definitely a sight to see.

Before the fireworks we went to a luau on the beach. We drove 15 Hawaiian minutes (about 45 Canadian minutes!) to this neat place on the beach. We watch the sun set over the South Pacific (see picture!), and then were entertained all night. There was a big Hawaiian dance, huge smorgasbord, and lots of entertainment. Jon Ungaro even went on stage in a coconut bra and grass skirt. That was a funny sight. There was also fire-dancing and everyone got leid.

Today the girls had a free day. Some went to the beach, some surfed, and some went to a big Ala Moana Shopping Center. A nice relaxing day it was.

Tomorrow we are going on a bus tour of the island. First will be the Dole Pineapple Plantation, and then we will be visiting Makaha, Sunset Beach and the Bonzai Pipeline. Should be a great day!
Happy 2007!

Tim Thanks for all of your work
I am seeking help in order to be able to get the vision of your dad in a grass skirt and coconut bra out of my mind.
Tell Heather I miss her and have changed the background on my computer to the jump shot picture you took.
cheers
