We survived our first few rough days in Honolulu. Here are a few things we have learned.
1. Make sure your reservation days are actually on the days you are going to be there :).
2. A Mini Suite is just as good as two adjoing rooms.
3. Fitting 7 people + a baby, and all the luggage into a Ford Expedition Long is hard.
4. Waikiki night life is wild. Great if you are down enjoying the loud music at 4am, not so great if you are trying to sleep after a long day.
5. The World Market is a lot like Mexico, except they are all Asian, but still a great place to get a souvenier.
6. Thieves are NOT our friends!
7. It's hard to find a new swim suit at Wal-Mart in 10 mins, when you have looked for a whole month to find one that would fit.
8. We have a love/hate relationship with "Victoria" (the GPS)
9. Hawaiian beaches are beautiful!
10. Snorkeling is a lot of fun once you stop hyperventilating.
Last... Cooper is a Trooper!!!
We had a rough start, but the rest of the week will be great!
Now we are off to the North Shore! Pictures and more updates will come later!!!

I am still jealous, even with the few set backs you have had. I am sure you will remember this trip forever. Have a great week!
I really struggled with hyperventilating while snorkeling as well. I was fine until I thought I was getting pushed out to see and started freaking out. Then I went nuts for a second. Once I calmed down, it was way more fun!
You're brave to go with kids. I want to go to Hawaii with just Jonathan and me! Hope the rest is great!
haha...this made me laugh. I hope the rest of the vacation is better than it started out!
Sounds like a wild ride so far! Hope you have a fabulous rest of the journey!!
I can't wait to hear the rest of the stories. :)
