Barb is taking a break from the blog today, so this is
the low down from Brett.
Once we’d finished a healthy McDonalds breakfast, most of us
piled on board a bus to get to the flea market usually held every Saturday at
the main Oahu stadium. Unfortunately, after staying on a very full bus of
people for about 45 minutes, we found that the market had been postponed for this
weekend due to a college football game being scheduled for tonight. Rather than
board a second bus to get to another market a further mile and a half away, we
made a decision to return to the main shopping centre at Waikiki for a bit more
retail therapy. The kids had their own spending money and were determined to
use it all up. A couple more things were added for the load home – luckily we came
across with only one suitcase so we’ll be able to purchase another cheap bag to
fit everything in without paying for additional luggage allowance on the flight
back.
Since the Duncans are due to fly home tonight, we got back
to the hotel so that they could have a final swim at the beach before packing
everything (because they’re scheduled as stand-by passengers, we’re due to stay
on for another two nights). With the Duncans leaving, it reminds us that our
holiday is due to end soon also. In some ways, the holiday seems to have passed
far too quickly but because we’ve packed so much in, the early parts of the
trip feel like they were months ago.
After a few last photos, the Duncans left for their flight and
we had dinner at a Japanese restaurant (complete with sake) before taking a
walk back to the hotel for a whiskey or two from a bottle that Dan has in his
luggage. Tomorrow is our last full day here so we’ll no doubt continue to pack
in as much as we can before having to return to our real life. I definitely
think that we’ll try to return – this has been an excellent trip so far!
