Our Return to Hawai’i is coming soon!!!

We have decided to make a return trip to Hawai’i for our 13th wedding anniversary in May.  We have made all the plans, and set up the reservations, etc. for our trip.  Now we are just anxiously awaiting our departure date.

We are spending the night before departure, April 30th, in Syracuse, as we did in 2007, and also spending 2 nights in San Francisco in both directions.  We will arrive on Kaua’i on Marianne’s birthday, May 3rd, and spend 4 nights at the Hilton Kaua’i Beach Resort before moving on to the north shore of O’ahu and the Turtle Bay Resort for 7 nights, celebrating our 13th anniversary on May 11th.

Look for daily updates during our trip, but it is still two and a half months away….

One Final Note on RSS Feeds from this Blog….

If you have been getting this blog via RSS feed, you most likely did not get the back-dated entries with the pictures I have posted over the past week. If you want to see the pictures I posted, you will have to visit the blog directly and use the calendar function to see the posted pictures.

I also have about 6 or 7 hours if video, and will be creating a few DVD’s from this video sometime in the future. If anyone is interested in a DVD of our still pictures or the videos, let me know, and I can send you a copy when the editing is completed. It might be a few months before that is done, however….

Final Blog Entry for This Trip….

Well, I have now loaded all the pictures to the blog that I had intended to post. In all, there are a total of over 1300 pictures we took, so only a small portion are on this blog. I just completed the entries with the pictures for the 22nd, 23rd and 24th. We took no pictures on our return to Syracuse on the 25th, that I could find I think we were just happy to be getting home, as the traveling was beginning to make us tired, and the change of time back to the east coast was more tiring than the trip west….
