We just returned from our adventure in Hawaii. It was a magnificent trip and I can not wait to go back.
We landed at the Airport in Oahu on Monday the 20 th at 3:30 p.m. From there a little shuttle van took us to our hotel the Sheridan at Waikiki. We went to our room and before we could get settled in we had to go to the check in on the 2 ND floor for the NCA (National Cheerleaders Association) that's right all you fun loving people, Mom and I are taking up cheer leading. Believe it or not it is true. NOT!!!!
Monday night we met with all of the family that was over there. Jade, Harley, Letitia, Will, Jon Glen, Mom and I. The seven of us went out to dinner. Let me tell you the food over there was so good that we made a joke about eating our way through Hawaii. Mom stayed in the room she was too tired.
Tuesday we started our day early with breakfast in the Molanu room. Then we had a free day so I went down to the lobby to talk to the conceir while mom waited out front. Every place we wanted to go we were told that there were no tram rides. I knew that mom wanted to walk but that she would have trouble walking the whole way. So I rented a wheel chair for her. One of the best purchases I made while I was there. Mom was now able to go where ever she wanted. Transportation was still a problem. We were mistakenly told that we could not take a wheel chair on the bus. On one of our last days there we found out that we could take a bus.
The story behind the bus was a very interesting one. On Sunday we went to Foster's botanical gardens. It was not far from downtown and a taxi would only be about ten dollars. So off we went to a taxi. Mom never once took her eye's off the meter. The higher it went over ten dollars the more she would say. "That is not ten dollars". Finally we arrived. I paid the Taxi and Mom paid the tip. The stupid driver made us walk about a block to get to the parking lot. So any way we made in and had a wonderful time looking at all the tree's and plants.
After this we were going to go to the Bishops museum and see the sights there. Well I started to push mom what I thought was going to be only a short walk and turned out to be about twenty blocks. We were about 1/4 mi. from the museum when we were told that we could catch the bus there. Well when we found out about the bus I was sort of mad, and so was mom. Then we got on the bus in what we thought was the right direction only to find out that we were suppose to go the other way. By this time I was to tired to go back but as luck would have it we were on our way to the motel anyway. So that is the bus story.
We sat through the game of the Hawaii Worriers and the Boise State ???? not sure what you would call the mascot that I saw on the field. Maybe buckaroos! Mom cheered for Boise and I cheered for Hawaii.
