Hawaii pics











We are here at Ko'olina in Oahu thanks to Katie and Gene! They hooked us up with their timeshare so we just paid for flights, car and fun. The plane ride let us sit next to a large stinky man-everyone's last hope for a 6 hour flight. Tom was a sport and sat next to the guy, mix of b.o. and poo smell, seriously and there was no way of avoiding the leg touch the entire flight since there was no more room. We checked Austin's diaper about 20 times. We were cracking up all night about it. Glad Tom survived it! We have been playing at the beach and adjusting to the time difference, Austin waking up at 4am each morning and ready for bed around 5pm. Last night we went to the Paradise Cove luau and got our tattoos that you see above. Tom is really bummed it isn't real-hoping this stage of "Gayla I really want a tribal tattoo-a real one!" will pass. I think we lived in Tonga too long-sometimes Tom thinks he is really Tongan, no joke. During the night show, they had couples dance to the Hawaiian wedding song. We went over with Austin and danced. The only other couple that got up were the two gay guys. We could not stop laughing. The family with their two year old and two gay dudes. For dessert we had chocolate, coconut, macadamia nut ice cream from Dave's. Yes-all those flavors in two scoops-AMAZING! I don't remember eating Dave's ice cream last time we came here. We are headed to the Polynesian Culture Center today through the night. So glad Austin is a natural traveler and people love him because he is so chill and knows how to make people smile! Aloha and Mahalo!
