Monday morning we were greeted by the biggest limo I have ever seen! We really received the royal treatment! Highlights: receiving our fresh flower leis, Diamond Head (saw Tom Selleck’s old neighbourhood), Dole pineapple plantation, Macadamia Nut farm, Pearl Harbour, Byodo-In Buddhist temple (Jon had seen this in an episode of Lost, it isn't normally a tour stop, but our special request, and really glad we insisted!) Our tour guide was wonderful, and would highly recommend Dang's Limosine to anyone visiting Oahu!
Flight to Kauai
I tried really, really hard to pack light, honestly. But we still had to make it through the airport with 2 heavy suitcases, a baby backpack (with a baby!) and 3 carry-on bags. I will admit I was the tiniest bit jealous when the couple in front of us (obviously honeymooners) checked onto the flight with just the tiniest of carry on bags. However, the smiling face of our tiny passenger makes the extra baggage all worth it. Traveling with Melody has been an absolute joy. She is able to make friends wherever she goes. In the airport waiting for our flight to Kauai, she made friends with a French-speaking Swiss family by climbing into their daughter’s booster seat. Her smiles also lead us to meet an Alaskan father-daughter off to visit colleges and a small boy named Logan who didn’t really want Melody to play with his dinosaur. Melody’s ability to fall asleep in the most awkward places (the Kelty Kids carrier), helped us to land an upgrade to the 4-door Jeep, the sales clerk just couldn’t put the baby and all our stuff into the 2-door! After a very long day we made it to Honua Lani gardens, our home away from home for the month.
