We made it!!!

It’s rare that we get on our desired flight on the first go, or without any problems. But today, things went in our favor. Paul and I did get on the nonstop from MSP to HNL, and not only did we get to sit together, we got an exit row!

Eight and a half hours later, we’re on the ground in Honolulu, getting our Jeep.

On our way out of town, we swung by a Walmart for supplies, and bought some snorkeling gear. Snorkeling is a must for me on this trip, and I can’t wait to try it!

We made it to our AirBNB on the north shore, a cute little shack with an outdoor toilet and shower, and we love it! Perfect for what we need, in a great location. Pictured is the “patio” out of our front door.

And evidently, chickens just roam the streets here. A hen with chicks was in the median at a roundabout.

If this is a normal occurrence, I’m going to really like it here.

After dropping off all of our stuff, we had to head to the ocean. Paul had recently worked with a flight attendant who has a condo up here, so she gave us a tip on the best small local beach to hit up, so we went to check it out.

This is when it hit me that we are in Hawaii.

Truly incredible.
