Day 1 – Honolulu, Oahu
Date: January 21st, 2007
Location: Waikiki, Oahu
Weather: Amazing
After the wedding, we had only a couple hours of sleep, and our friends KC and
Kerri drove us to the airport at 3:30 AM.We arrived in Honolulu early afternoon
on Sunday after the wedding. It was a very early flight!
We had free transportation with our package that took us to Waikiki. The
driver was very informative and pointed a few things out that would help us
a little later in our stay. We weren’t able to immediately check into our
room because it wasn’t quite ready, so we checked our bags and went out to
walk around Waikiki. We didn’t want to waste any time!
We grabbed dinner at the Cheesecake Factory, and were getting updates on the
AFC championship game from the bartender! After eating, we started walking
around the International Marketplace. We had assumed the Colts were going to
lose, which put me in a somber mood. While walking around we heard a man say
“it’s tied!” I had to ask if he was talking about the game, and he was so we
went back to the hotel and were able to check into our room so we could watch
the rest of the game! The Colts won! Now I’m not a huge Colts fan, but I’m
glad Peyton got his chance (and ring)!
After the game, we didn’t want to waste any time in Waikiki, so we went back
out to walk around. We took a few sunset pictures using the Gorillapod
which is responsable for MANY of our great honeymoon photos! We both love
this thing and recomend it to everybody!
