4th day in Hawaii

No pictures for today but wanted to update what was going on. My sister from Arkansas finally arrived on the island after a harrowing trip. Their plane was delayed out of Houston Tx because of tornado warnings and general bad weather. They missed their connection and ended up in LA overnight in the terminal. They caught an 8:30 am flight out of LA and arrived in good order (although a day late) in Hawaii sans luggage!! So the first stop was to Kmart to buy toothbrushes, extra undies and flipflops for the beach. Luckily their luggage arrived by 10:00 pm but on the other side of the island where their kids are staying. So this morning we are doing a road trip to the North Shore for luggage and general sightseeing. We plan on doing a dip in the ocean once the swimsuits are out of the luggage. Luckily hawaii is just one big beach and swimming is anywhere you are! We sat on the lanai last night with a blender drink (much needed by this time) and watched the turtles bobbing in the surf just off the coral beach. We grilled up some Ahi and Weki Ahu (types of fish) and had a great dinner to help sooth the weary travelers. I think they got relaxed enough to get a good nights sleep. Right now Terry and Dennis have grabbed the fishing poles and headed out to see whats biting.
