Hawaii

One of the good/bad things about Nate's new job is travel.  He travels frequently for conferences and training around the US, and it just so happened that his first conference he attended was in Hawaii, so I decided to go along with him!  We went over a few days early and did some vacationing before he had to spend all day in meetings.  We went the week after Thanksgiving.

Flying into Seattle...flying across the Pacific isn't as nerve racking as I thought it would be, but still not my favorite!

First night in Hawaii...traffic was crazy and we were shocked by the outrageous cost to park our rental car.

Day 1 - the weather was awful- buckets and buckets of rain, cold, wind, we didn't want to go outside so we drove around the island!

Day 2 - The weather was much better.  We went snorkeling at Hanauma Bay and hiked Koko crater.
