It had been quite a while since we traveled to Hawaii as a family. We were all looking forward to the warm weather, food, and, most of all, family and friends. We really had a great time seeing the islands this trip! The food was excellent as always. Most of all, we had the best time visiting family and friends. There was also a little excitement as Hurricane Iselle came bearing down on us. Fortunately, we were off the Big Island just before it hit. This is a vacation I'll always remember. Hawaii No Ka Oi!
