The first truly lazy day I’ve had on the trip so far. I slept in. Then went to a local diner for breakfast. I had pineapple pancakes, and yes, I did try out the coconut syrup that you’ll see in the photos. Quite delicious.

Next, my friend Pat moved onto surfing lessons. You’ll see some digital shots taken by the surfing school staff uploaded to this album, as well.

During this time, I rented an intertube and floated for about an hour or so in the hotel lagoon (approximately 2 acres in size). After meeting back up with Pat, we hit one of the many hotel pools. This one had water slides, one of which was an enclosed tube.

Next, we made it down to the beach for the sunset, and soon thereafter, the hotel (Friday night) fireworks display. Dinner followed at a Japanese restaurant in the hotel village.

It was a car-free day, and I loved it.

I’ll be doing some of the same this morning, before checking out the hotel and sightseeing the Oahu island by car before heading to the airport. I’ll be starting my flights around 8 pm local time, tonight, and ending around 5 pm ET tomorrow (Sunday). Oahu to Kauai to Phoenix to Baltimore. I’m tired already thinking about it…
