The Wedding: Behind The Scenes (4)
March 26, 2006
Tuesday, January 24 - Thursday January, 26
And finally I was able to spend time with my new wife on Tuesday onwards. It was the first chance for us to actually relax and enjoy this trip together. We did a lot of shopping, mostly for other people. I hate to say it but I got re-acquainted with a good friend called cable TV and enjoyed the king of all delicacies: a cheese pizza.
I like being pampered
The locals on the island were really friendly and talkative! A few waiters gave their life story a friendly reply to “How’s it going?” One cool fellow preceded all speech with “Sounds like a plan”. Entertaining and enlightening!
On a walk on the beach we ended up at the aquarium which made this big giant deal out of coral being made of living organisms. After the aquarium I was so sick of hearing it that I defiantly declared that coral is really a natural mineral. The beaches were a wonderful contrast from concrete in Osaka.
The aquarium had these information phones instead of a real tour guide
We didn’t spend as much time on the beaches as I would have liked but we did get some sun. I think I reflected more sunlight back into the sun than the beach absorbed. I also think this was the second time in my life where I’ve seen palm trees growing. I could easily get used to them.
Look closely! That’s no monkey climbing up the tree!
And to cap off a great trip, we got upgraded into business class. I am definitely going to spend extra or use frequent flyer miles to go for the upgrade. I’ve tasted luxury and I want more. I must admit the turbulence on the way back made me whimper like a little girl though and the shitty movies didn’t help.
When we were back in Osaka, a part of me was glad but the rest was yearning to be pampered in hotels and restaurants. Hawaii, we’ll be back!
The lady thinks everything is cold
And that was our week in Hawaii! Here are all the pictures.
