Heading Home

Hello all, and thanks so much for your sympathetic comments!

After another night, we decided to ditch the campground, as we really just didn't feel welcome there. If people keep making you cry when your intentions are good, it's time to move on! We checked into a stunning hotel in Waikiki (the Waikiki Parc) and spent the next 3 days there. Very pampering and lovely.

On Tuesday, our tour with Bike Hawaii went off without a hitch. We had a lovely coasting bike ride down a mountain, followed by a sail out to a good spot for snorkeling, where we saw sea turtles and cool fishies. And today we got out of the city for a bit and took a quick hike up in the rainforest, which was incredibly beautiful, and then got ourselves back to the airport in plenty of time to hit the internet stand at the gate. Nice to see more green and mountains before we left.

So I do feel like we got a pretty nice balance of country and city, and having left the place with the mean people made it much easier to put that part behind us and get some real vacationy relaxation time.

Love to all!
Emily
