As in true tradition of the Page-Thompsons, we decided this year instead of buying lots and lots of presents for each other, we would take a vacation. So, 2 weeks before Christmas, we packed our bags for 10 glorious days in Hawaii! The trip started off with a bang in Honolulu where we joined 40,000 other runners (60% of which were Japanese...go figure) to run the Honolulu marathon. 6 hours later...we were ready to start our vacation!
Honolulu was for 3 days in Waikiki Beach and from there we headed to Maui to finish our last 7 days in a condo down on Waleleau Bay. Minus the condo with no air (who does that in Hawaii?!) and the friendly geekos we boarded with, we had such fun doing absolutely nothing. We did half the road to Hana (the half where you drive up a mountain and for 20 miles do the chicken fight game with other cars on a one lane highway...next to a cliff), sun tanned on beaches (yes, I even got a tan) and drank lots of Kona coffee! We finished our trip with a journey to Waileia and did the traditional Luau. We fell asleep every night to the sound of the ocean (as we were right next to it in our condo) and our last morning we watched the sun rise while a momma and baby whale jumped in the harbor. Almost too good to be true.
