First Time to Hawaii

Joan and I, after all these years, we finally made it to Hawaii.
It was Joan's cousin from Denmark that decided on a sunset beach wedding on Maui, So Joan and I decided to join them for their big event as no other family were going.


We first spent 2 days on Waikiki Beach. How beautiful was that.

Every night there were free shows in the plazas and beach parks with Hawaiian music and hula dancing.

We were amazed at all the flowering plants. All the trees had flowers, too. We visited the Dole pineapple plantation and saw all the amazing plant life on the islands.

We then traveled to Maui for three days and the wedding. We stayed at an older more traditional island resort right on the beach with palm trees everywhere.

The sunset wedding was so beautiful. That is Helle, Nik and Matilda, Helle's daughter.





Back at Waikiki, we drove up the east coast for Island views that were breath taking.

And of course what would a tropical vacation be without the umbrella drinks along the beach. We found a favorite place to visit on our final days there.


Our final night in paradise.
Aloha to all.

We will return.
