Hawaii

When we were first married my sweet husband was in the Air Force Reserves to earn enough money to keep us going. He was a load master and flew on C141's. He loved flying and traveling. We were married for 5 years and had 4 little children from newborn to 4 years old. I did not get to travel with him in those days, my responsibilities were to keep the children clean, fed and safe.

About once a month he took a flight, quite often to Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii. He made many trips to Hawaii and promised me we would both go together someday. Well, after 37 years of marriage that day is finally here. As I write this entry I am sitting on the beach of Waikiki.

It is beautiful here. The ocean is amazing with various colors of blue. The hotel we are staying at is magnificent. I have enjoyed going on tours to the pineapple plantation and around the island. We have enjoyed walking on the beach and swimming in the warm clear water. Tonight we are going to a luau!! Tomorrow we go to Pearl Harbor.

I have enjoyed letting my hair flow free with just a flower to keep it back. The breeze is pleasant, even though one day the wind was so strong my skirt decided to do the Marilyn Monroe thing (over my head) --thank goodness for slips!! I have enjoyed the music and even took a hula lesson.

I have been planning this trip to Hawaii for 37 years. I have enjoyed it immensely!! Thank you sweetheart for a wonderful time. I love you.
