The Last Full Day

Holy cow, who would have thought it, the trip is almost over. We have had an absolutely marvelous time here, plenty of adventures, good food and fun. Numerous pictures, six hours of video and a lot of memories that will last a lifetime.

Today we hit the beach again. The sun was shining brightly this morning and it was hot! We stayed a few hours and waded in the water a bit. We didn’t go swimming though as there were signs and red flags up all over the place advising to stay out of the water, as there was a jellyfish warning in effect.

These are apparently the Box Jellyfish, which pack a very painful sting. Several people, including children were stung while we were there. The lifeguard advised us that the sting can be treated with vinegar and lasts about an hour.

After the beach we went for pizza for lunch and Renee had a beer while I had a Strawberry Daiquiri. From there we went to the International Marketplace again. Picked up a couple of more gifts, and we were looking for another Hawaiian shirt for me. Possibly a yellow shirt to go with the red one and the blue one. Renee found a nice red Aloha tank top for herself.

Saw the fellow from Duck Tours again, his picture is shown in an earlier article. It’s hilarious; he drives around in an amphibious military vehicle called a duck. The driver is dress in bathing suit, lifejacket, flying helmet, goggles and snorkel. There is comical music playing that he accompanies with duck calls and whistles.

Afterwards, we came back to the room to recharge a bit and begin to start packing; darn we don’t want to go. We were unsuccessful finding another Hawaiian shirt, but we will try again this evening.

The Last Night

Rather uneventful evening. We spent it just walking around Waikiki and made one final trip through International Marketplace. Not wanting a big dinner, we just went to KFC just up the street from our hotel.

We were back in the hotel by 9:00 PM to start the process of packing our bags. Once that was done we watched TV for awhile, getting immersed in a new TV show on Discovery Channel, called Cash Cab.

Burned all of the photos we took, as well of most of the text from this BLOG onto a DVD and then made a second copy of it. I have one, Renee has one and the set is all on the laptop. One set will make it through safely that way. Plus Renee will have her own copies of the photos to print as she wishes.

Lights out at eleven, and we were both so exhausted, it was right to sleep.
