So Still no work coming from the inflight people.
So with Mon Tues and Wed off I felt i should use my bennies to go someplace..
I checked flights to Paris but I would have only had 24 hours in the city.. and that included sleeping.
I'd just been to NYC and Montreal to see the kids.
So I looked west. Hawaii was open enough..
So I announced my intents to the Parentals and mom piped in that she wanted to go..
I called and booked the hotel that same minute.
The Pacific Beach Hotel is just across the street from the beach. They were kinda reasonably priced. I would say however dinner was much overpriced. We preferred the Cheesecake Factory.
Day one was in the sun. I even took a surfing lesson and did pretty well. What you dont realise in surfing, if youve never dont it, is the muscles that it takes to do it. Now im not talking about the actual surfing part. Its the paddling out to the waves that was killin my back. Then you have to paddle hard to get going for the waves. My ribs are brused from laying down and paddling and my knees, I dont know if they are burnt or just rubbed raw but they are red!
I loved surfing. It just felt great to be up and riding the waves.. Deffinatly do that again.
I did fry my skin that day and spent my last day in Hawaii in the shade. No sweat i got to read.
We really lucked out and got first coming home. I had a G&T before take off and slept the whole way home. I missed out on the meal but i slept.. that was more important.
I need to do another escape to hawaii again. I like it.
