hang10tiki but in the scheme of life we were so lucky to have a beautiful room and plenty of Kleenex! We really looked at that alien. He was scary.

===========================================

We hit the road to Waikiki and our next five nights at the Hilton Hawaiian Village.

This is what I picture when I think of Hawaii.

Palm trees and flowers.

Along the way we saw this iconic island.

I am not kind to my husband. I hit him on the head to get this photo.

We are here! I told the man at the check in desk we were there to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary and he said, "Well then, I'm going to give you a free upgrade to a room with a view." So cool because that was unexpected.

Wow what a wonderful view. Diamond Head in the distance and so much to see from the balcony.

Looking down was fun too.

We went for a walk to look for food.

12 years ago we had lunches at this restaurant. Now it's only open for a breakfast buffet.

I didn't know that this rainbow design is on the front and back of this tower.

Back in the room I saw in this magazine that on this Friday night there would be fireworks. Too ill to go we were going to miss them...

but when the booms started I found that I could see half of the show. The building hid half but this was good enough.

Another day has started.

Dan's favorite activity every morning.

Each morning after a very hot shower we felt good enough to go for a walk.

The pathway along the beach went for a very long way.

Eventually we had to leave and go to the main street.

That's when we found the new International Marketplace.

Going to Woo Hoo and Soccer Tikis International Marketplace with all the artist vendors is now the best place to go. Especially for tiki art. This has lost the fun factor of cheap junk. No reason to return here. We were glad we went when all the businesses were closed.

More soon. Wendy
