Of course, we are here in BEAUTIFUL Hawaii, having super wonderful experiences and loving life... and our camera breaks! It wasn't too much of a surprise, it is an old camera and we were wanting to get a new one in the next year or so, but still... it breaks... at the beginning of our summer in Paradise. Hopefully we can get it to limp through the next few weeks and months with a handy dandy rubber band. :)
Our first week out here, we went to Ewa Beach (pronounced Evah) and tested out the boogies boards. Steve discovered that he doesn't like the taste of salt water... but LOVE the waves! I wasn't too fond of all the coral knocking around my ankles but we had so much fun!
Last week we were able to go on a date to Pearl Harbor, but it took us so long to get there (Google maps took us to the middle of an industrial park), we only had time to walk around and see what we want to do NEXT time we go. Even for the short amount of time that we had, it was a very sobering experience.
This week our two adventures included snorkelling in Electric Bay were we swam with sea turtles and saw dolphins jumping out of the water! If it weren't for the boats cruising around, we would have gone out to say hi to Flipper.
Today we went on another date to Waikiki and enjoyed strolling the mall. We tried some "authentic" food from the food court. We didn't care too much for it. Stopped by the Ferrari Store, Swatch, and looked a Pick A Pearl booth. The lady was so cute with her selling tactics... Perfect sourvenour for your honeymoon. We just smiled. :) We also browsed some of the local markets and started making a list of things we want to get at the Swap Meet.
Work is going really well. Steve had a little bit of a slow start but really rocked it last week! The reps are doing better than expected and because of that we have enjoyed dinner at PJ Changs and going to Robin Hood as incentives. This week has been a little bit more difficult for him becuase they moved him to a newer, nicer area. But everyone seems to be struggling in that area. We now have 12 reps in the area and 5 techs with 3 girls in the office. We are pretty busy with the paperwork and all that. But its great to be so busy.
We finally found a place to stay for the summer. Our boss hooked us with a really nice condo by the Ko' Olina Resort. We live on a golf course and within walking distance of four gorgeous man-made lagoons.
Needless to stay... we are doing really well... and we are HAPPY!
