Rush and Sheenu's Visit

If we look happy, it's because we are! Rush and Sheenu visited us for a week. We hiked and toured the island and tried to show them as much of this beautiful place as possible in the limited time we had with them. I think they know why we love it so much here.

We had dinner at Kobe Steak restaurant near the Hawaiian Hilton Village which is very close to our condo. We had a good laugh that evening asking a photographer to take a picture with my camera. (He sold us one he took with his camera!)

Rush had almost had enough pictures at this point! I'm glad we got this shot though.

Another shot of us waiting for our table.

Waiting for a table at the Italian restaurant at the Marriott, which was our home away from home last summer.

Sheenu's on top of the world! She's a beautiful jewel in a beautiful place.

Hanging out at the Moana Surfrider Hotel under the banyon tree shortly after Rush and Sheenu arrive.

One of my favorite views on the island with two of my favorite people on earth in it!

We went to the North Shore to experience some of the big waves of Haliewa town and ate at one of the famous Shrimp Trucks!

Randy, a good friend and work associate of Ray's, visited last week. His wife's name is Connie too! (and she's a teacher) We hiked to the top of Diamond Head from inside the crater. The view is just awesome from the top!

Connie Thomas tried to clear these people out of our picture, but they didn't listen to the teacher!

Randy and Ray getting ready to snorkel! Randy's famous white shirt, I put this in for you Connie. (You accidently left it with us!)

These meals make our hikes harder!

Another picture of Randy at the top of Diamond Head. He and Connie were so physically fit, they ran up like mountain goats.

I thought I was going to die on the last 99 steps going straight up! It's been 2 years since we hiked it.

Island visitors

Ray's cousin Ronald and his wife Gillette visited for 10 days and really enjoyed our island tour. We suggested a couple new ideas just to mix it up a bit but they didn't want to do the shark cage! We visited Pearl Harbor and had lots of fun visiting as family.
