Feet in the Pacific Ocean

These are especially for a friend who wishes to be and is posted by request.
Now I have to give my legs a rest for a few hours, as I did not realize how much walking on the loose sand and the steep slope of the wave washed sand would take out of me.

Besides the fact that a small “rogue wave” splashed against my legs, soaking my shorts and shirt so I am back in the room changing my clothes.
But, it was worth it if it made someone’s day 😉

On the Ground in Paradise!

Finally!! We are on the ground in Honolulu. It will be a few minutes before we get to the gate, but we are on the ground, safe and sound!!
Here are some photos of approach and landing at Honolulu…
