Honeymoon Day 2

Today was my second day back to school after Christmas break and I'm dragging a little bit. I'm emotionally and physically exhausted so I thought I would cheer myself up by sharing more honeymoon stories and photos with you.

On day two of the honeymoon, my husband and I left Los Angeles on time in a huge plane. It had five seats in the middle and two seats on each side - I never thought I'd personally see a plane that size, so I was quite excited. (Before I go any further, I have to give a little shout out to the TSA at the LAX. The were very friendly - the nicest airport officials we came across. Congrats to them on a job well done!) After a six-hour flight, with a little too much turbulence for my taste, we arrived in Honolulu.

After leaving the airport, my husband and I spent the next hour on a shuttle riding around the city dropping people off at their hotels. Our hotel happened to be at the end of Waikiki Beach so we had the longest ride. I guess we got the most bang for our buck (I wonder if my cheap husband thought of that!). After unloading our bags, grabbing something to eat and buying some necessities (I need more than 3 oz. of shampoo for a week!), we spent the rest of the evening visiting shops downtown and walking along the beach. It was a great way to spend our first day on the island.

Oh, it looks so pretty there!
And you two make such a cute couple!!

I was in Maui back in 1999 for a conference. I DIDN'T like the long plane ride back and forth.

I also meant to say that I'm sorry you are not feeling up to speed yet. It this just jet lag...or are you coming down with something??

Or is it just being back at school with all of the little terrors???

My Mom was and my two sisters are teachers....I honestly don't know how you guys do it.
