2010 Trip to Oahu, Hawaii with Carl and Ingrid


This year we traveled with our friends Carl and Ingrid.  We stayed 2 nights at the Ilikai in Waikiki so that we could take the Home of the Brave tour which leaves Waikiki at 6am.  Then we drove to Kailua on the east shore where we stayed at bed and breakfasts.  Ingrid had never been boogie boarding, but discovered how much fun it is.  Pat bought a couple inexpensive ukuleles so that we could practice.  After visiting the KoAloha ukulele factory, Carl bough a nice tenor uke.  Then Sandy decided to buy a slightly bigger inexpensive uke so we ended up with 4.

It was a very relaxing vacation and we can't wait to go back.
