Last Two Days on Oahu

Sad to have our last couple of days on Oahu.  I love Hawaii and Ryan always asks why.  People are so friendly and I love that they have the coolness of a different culture and yet, it is still part of the US.  They are also always trying to preserve and teach us that culture - by using Hawaiian words and entertaining with song and dance.  Ko-Olina feels like our Marriott home.

We met some cool people this time around - Betsy Liberty and Lou (not sure what his last name is) and Theo and Melody Gekas (and all their kids).  The kids played together and the parents enjoyed some cocktails.

Christy, Melody, and Betsy - the bathing beauties!

The men are holding court (and doing some serious drinking around a trash can!

 Last day on Oahu was just for us and Betsy and Theo (the Gekas had gone home).  Trevor and Ryan finally hit the beach past the JW Marriott to see the monk seal that has been beaching there for 14 days and molting.  I saw it several days but it was always when I was out for a run without the camera.  Her name is Pohoku.

That looks like a totally kissable snout!

Here are some pretty pictures from their walk back

This is some sort of pretty fruit (?) that just falls from the trees here.

Drew had too much fun in the sun and actually had a little siesta by the pool

Relaxing on a pool float that someone gave us when they left the resort.

That night we were invited to share food with Lou, Betsy, Charlotte, and Lucas in their room.  We brought a little pasta and a horrible bottle of wine (for some reason Ryan thought Fancy Pants would be a good blend) but they had made two kinds of fish, burgers, and an excellent salad.  We bailed on them pretty quickly for a showing of Happy Feet 2 on the lawn that started at sunset.  Maybe our vacations will bring us together again...
