Day 5

We checked out of our condo and made our way down to Waikiki to go on a catamaran.  It was a beautiful day.  We were there early so we could check in. The company had sent an email saying that parking was a problem so to get to the dock at least an hour ahead of time so you couldn't find a spot.  We were there about 40 minutes early and there were a ton of spots so I don't know what they were talking about.

We went to check in and no one was there so we waited.  Another couple showed up when we did because they had received the same email.  We all waited and when it was time, we checked in.

We then loaded on the catamaran, had our safety briefing, and were off.  It was a beautiful day for a sail.  The only problem was that, since it had rained Sunday and Monday, they had to reschedule all those people so they had overbooked.  That meant the catamaran was crowded.  But we still got to see amazing views.  We didn't see any whales or dolphins, but it was a nice day to be on the water.

We did have some fighter planes fly over us, so that was cool.

When we finished on the catamaran we needed to get something to eat.  Courtney gave the smoothie she got a thumbs up. Ethan and I got chicken quesadillas and Bryan got some pineapple.  It was yummy.

Then we decided to go back to Pearl Harbor and go to the airplane museum.  We had time before we needed to check into our next condo.  We drove back to Pearl Harbor, loaded on the bus to Ford Island, and went to the museum.  It's crazy because there are still bullet holes in the buildings from the attack on Pearl Harbor.  They kept them there to remind the soldiers of what could happen.  We watched a movie and then explored around.  We even went into a hangar and saw some of the airplanes.

By this time, we were ready to check into our condo.  That was a treat.  It was a unique place!

We quickly had to make some ground rules.  The bathroom door was a slat accordion door so if anyone needed to use the bathroom, everyone else had to go outside on the balcony so they would have some privacy.  It was crazy.  The cupboards, which I didn't get a picture of, looked like they belonged on a camper trailer.  It was wild but a very nice place.  We had air conditioning and Netflix, so we were set.

We spent the rest of the evening watching movies and relaxing.  We came to the conclusion that we are a 5-day vacation trip family.  After 5 days, it gets to be too long and we get grumpy.  But we had a lot of fun.
