Relaxing in Hawaii

Well we are half way through our visit to Hawaii. We stayed a couple of nights in Waikiki at the Hyatt Regency where we ate well and often did some shopping and recovered from jet lag. Then we set out for the North shore where our rental for the week is. Its really nice here it is a basement sweet with a kitchen, living room and two rooms right across the road from sunset beach which is absolutely beautiful. We got some awsome sunset pictures from that beach.
Hitting the beach is a popular thing to do and the surf has come down so I think I will go surfling on friday.

Today Chris and I went for a nice 4 our hike/geocache up in the mountains on Kaunala trail. It was so pretty and had some amazing views along the way. The girls not quite as adventureous did what they did best and went shpping in Honalulu. Tomorrow we go snorkling and to the Luau in paradise cove.

We also scoped out the beach that LOST is filmed on. We walked along the beach on monday for about 45 minutes and saw a bunch of people on the beach and a guy came and stopped us from going any further because they were filming. So the next day we found a secret way to get to the beach the other way and found the set when they were not filming... it was pretty cool to see the set. Also we ran into Sawyer (Josh Halloway) at Starbucks and the girls freeked out all star struck and stuff and got a picture with him. Well all in all we are having a great time in Hawaii. Hope Nanaimo is good and warm... he he he...
Jamie & Kristin ...out in Hawaii

Heres us at Waikiki going to dukes for an amazing all you can eat breakfrest buffet which we tried again the next morning

This is the banzai Pipeline which is one of the biggest waves in the world. They were not as big as they get in winter but still too big for us to surf.

This is part of the lost set... Sawyers tent.

Of course here's the girls with Sawyer (Josh Halloway) boy were they pathetic... "oh I can't believe it was really him.." ugh

And of course here is one of the days we spent laying in the sun... swimming.. laying in the sun... repeat
