Getting ready to board Hawaiian Airlines to Honolulu! \240So excited! This is a monumental trip for us….leaving as fiancées and coming back married! Although COVID made it difficult to include our family and friends, we are so excited to move forward in our commitment! We cannot wait to share our journey on here for you all to follow along.

We landed and got Lei’d. Hee hee. Now we are off to get poke bowls and the Dole Plantation! \240

Pineapple plants with mountains in background. The dirt in orange from volcanic ash and is rich with iron. Pineapple Field’s lie fallow for one \240year between crops.

Arrived to our room and settled in.

Aulani is beautiful. This is a video above like on the previous post, if you tap to open, it will play.

Today we headed to snorkel and swim on the leeward side!

Incredible views from the boat this morning. We were out on the water by 7 am Hawaii time and swam with a pod of dolphins (32 of them!) and lots of sea erchins and a sea turtle!
