Nice.
I can see why people come to Hawaii to retire... Forget Waikiki or golf courses or gated communities (although we are staying in one for the next 6 nights, complete with 3 pools, tennis courts and a fancy resort next door)... This is a beautiful part of the world.
We've been a bit stressed the last couple of days, as our "she'll be right" approach to booking accommodation - we booked a total of 3 nights for our entire 5 months away - started to look fatally flawed when we found out that Hawaii was facing an influx of defense (sic) personnel and end of summer holidayers. Most of the big accommodation websites had nothing at all available this week. Yep... Nothing! Still, our initial fear that the only thing we could get would cost us $400+ a night (or sleep in the hire car) gave way to a happy find... A two bedroom (kids upstairs in the mezzanine) apartment for $125++ a night right where we wanted to be in turtle bay.
We're 10 minutes away from the famous Banzai Pipeline (yes, THE pipeline for those surf guitar tragics out there), but this time of year the surf is pretty small. Rach and Caitlin even saw some turtles off the beach while "diving" off the beach in 6 foot of water without even the need for snorkels and flippers - just the trusty old Zoggs.
Will post some photos soon... Just doing this update from my phone while having a quiet beer on our "lanai" or verandah.
Life's ok.
Cheers
Steve
