Ok the clan is in the waiting area now. It was hell getting here. Remind me to book my own flight next time. Mom's really loosing it. She couldn't find a bag she was holding.

Also Eric and I saw a semi jack-knife and they took up the whole freeway. We got stuck for a minute or two.

Two more hours and we'll be air bound!

Kaelin

Tito/Uncle Aaron the Jungle Gym

Dixie Grill

My Sangria and big ice tea. Both were really really yummy!!

We're Here!!

We're here and the kids are playing Little Big Planet already. As you can see Kaelin is warming up to her Uncle Aaron again. We're waiting for EJ to get off work. I think we're going to the Dixie Grill tonight. Good seafood.

Omg 3 days and counting!!!!

13 hours!!!!!!

Oh so there are box jelly fish warning out so be prepared....they hurt

Ok we made the car rental reservation. It didn't even ask for our credit card information. I guess you just reserve it and pay when you pick up the car.

I think this was the last time you guys were here. Look how much smaller they were back then. Dad was bigger though. Hahaha He's lost a lot of weight since he's been home from the accident.

OMG in 2 days and 11 hours!!!!!!!

This Is The Life

Here is EJ at some beach. He's testing it out for us before we get there. I think whatever beach this is, it got his approval. :)

Dad told Aaron I love you first!!!!! Dad called Aaron and asked how his "Army brat" (me) was doing. Dad just got out of the shower and sounded like he was in a really really good mood and when they got off the phone I heard Aaron say, "I love you too!" I was like, "what?!?" Dad said, "I love you" first?!!?!!?

That Lau Lau isnt that good...well i guess it depends on the place but all the lau lau i've had hasnt been that good...and the jellyfish are on mostly the north and windward side beaches...

Just Had To Throw It Out There!

LAKERS 3-0

Just thought of something else we'll need from costco! We need shampoo/conditioner and body wash. Costco size because we got a whole lotta ass to wash! :)Hehehe

Oh my golly!!!!! I can't believe I can count the days on one hand!!

Beware of These

This is probably the main thing that we need to be aware of, but it's only on certain beaches and there'll be signs on the beach they're on. So if your butt butt gets stung by one, that's your fault. They're not at every beach though and they won't let you in the water if the lifeguard spots them!

Lau Lau

I HAVE to eat this at least one day out there!!!! Lau Lau and Hawaiian macaroni.

Ateh May

Ateh May is this what your dream looked like? hahaha Maybe your dragon has an invisibility cloak and she can go to Hawaii with us. :)

game idea

Anybody like Texas hold 'em?? EJ and I have a set, maybe we can have a poker night!

Yummy

OH i'm soooo hungry right now! Are we gonna roll some lumpia? We have a lot of rollers! That chicken adobo looks sooo good!!

KETCHUP

We'll probably need more than this!!!

Not So Guilty

After that picture, I don't have to feel so guilty when I eat Longonisa when we're in HAWAII! Damn that shit looks sooooo good. All you need is the rice and bawang and sooka and we're set!

My Beach Body

Ok so this doesn't make me feel soooo back now!!! Look at what they do to all these "beach body babes!" Wow, that's a whole lotta work they did to her! That's just really sad!!!

Umm...omg...my dragon eats so much more than that...

Spam

Here Ateh May, you can eat this. There's two. One for you and one for your dragon. I"ll be eating this in Hawaii!! Spam masubi!! Mmmmmm

I'm hungry!

I'll Take Two Please!!!

Um yeah you see that guy? He's what I'm gonna look like after like 5 of those pineapple margaritas lol. I can see Ateh Eileen taking one of these to the head and falling over lol. I can't freakin wait!

Milkshake

Now Nikko calm yourself I know your getting all excited over this picture but I can't make oreo milkshakes every night we're out there cause milk cost too damn much lol. Maybe every other night lol.

Tacos

So ummm I can't really think of or find many other pictures to put up so I thought I might just post some food lol. I like tacos and I figured we would eat some while we were out there more than once, maybe not exactly like these but hey it was the best pic I could find.

Oh My Golly

Look at that ------------------------------------------------------>>>>> I'ts almost here!!!

Food Answers :)

Yeah, the "old" people drink coffee in the morning. Us "younger" people though, drink caramel machiato's and such! :) Hahaha Anywho, yeah a lots of BBQ sauce. Green salad would be good too. Or even green beans and corn and such. For desert we can have oreo milk shakes or pineapple or watermelon margaritas, or sweet apple pie or cheesecake (costco has really good pies/cakes/everything). Mmmmm i'm getting hungry thinking about it all!

I know that mom, dad, eric n me will drink coffee. I think mom likes folgers. I like the columbian style.

All the food items u said sound yummy to me. U know anything u throw on a grill is good!! Just get alot of bbq sauce! Lol good n easy thats wut i'm thinking! Oh maybe a salad too. ;) cuz u kno i'm on a diet!! HAHAHA YA RIGHT!! .... but still some greens for our digestive tracks would be good. :D

Food questions...

What about coffee?? Who drinks coffee in the morning, and what kind? Creamer?

Sodas?? What's cool with everybody??

Dinner stuff I'm getting, hamburgers and hot dogs, spaghetti, roast, I'll prob do a mexican food night, what else ya' got?? Think bulk dinners!!Think Costco choices!!

Food Again

So, me and Sister talked a little bit about the food. She'll probably go sometime this weekend to Costco to get a few things. So far this is what's on our list:

Rice (maybe 2 big bags)
Juice
Lil Smokies
Eggs
Pancake Mix
Sandwich Bread

We talked about meat and we think that mom will probably get it from the commisary. Me and Sabrina could also go back to costco when me and Aaron get there. Just call Sister or comment on this blog to add more to the list. This is just so far. I was kinda tired when we talked last night and I was excited to talk to the kids! They are soooooo cute and talkative!! I also just found out that Kaelin gets a kick out of taking her Ateh or Kuya's things while they aren't looking. Hahahaha Too cute! Anywho.....I love you guys.

My Hat

Oh yeah well I only paid 6 bucks for my sweet hat and guess what ....I'm to sexy for it! LMAO! GA DOOOSH!!!!

Scary

Don't worry this isn't in Hawaii or anywhere near it, it's off the coast of Japan and I thought I would share this with everybody cause it's freakin cool. They're getting this big because they're killing all the things that eat jellyfish so the jellyfish now live longer and get bigger hence the five foot one in this picture. I tell ya what that thing scares me more than a shark, at least I can hit the shark in the nose, where am I suppose to hit kick or even stab that thing I mean for real? Oh well guess I'll just have to try and bounce off the top of it like Dori from Finding Nemo lol.

Frickin SWEET Hawaii hat!!!!

Hey guys! Check out my frickin SWEET Hawaii hat!!!!! I got it for ONLY $10!!! So if you want in on this SWEET, one time deal hit me up yo, and I'll get you one from sports chalet!
Here's another shot of my FRICKIN SWEET Hawaii Hat! My pretty awesome sister tried to get in on the sweetness of my hat.

I'm Still Doin It

Chinamans Hat

Ok here we go with some pics of Chinamans hat somewhere a few of us will be swimming to and possibly climbing up like these folks in one of these pic's is doing. I can't freakin wait this day is going by so slow.

I bought me a grande tuxedo!! Yum!! Sister it will go very fast now!! I cant believe its already like tomorrow!!

On the topic of Nicky's bday....I think the bounce house would be hecka fun to do. Maybe the kind that is a waterslide even!!. Of course we'll pitch in EJ/Sabrina. :)

I sincerely can not wait for this trip!! I'll freakin need a vacation from this vacation!! Hahaha!!! :D

Ahhh

Help me!!! I thought that this week would go pretty fast since I have the whole week pretty much planned (work today, tommorow, Thursday, and Saturday, then first day at my Army unit on Wednesday and clean the apartment on Friday).......but so far it's NOT! :( Today is really really dragging! I had to give in and get my grande caramel machiato with a extra shot because I was really sleepy from just sitting here!!! Really sad. I came in to work saying that I'm not gonna buy one....I don't need it. But....it's been just draaaaagggginnnngggg today! I gotta say though, i feel a lot better. Thank God for Iced Caramel Machiato's!!!

Look At That Water

This is Waimea Bay and would you look at that water, GA DOOOSH I tell ya. Oh well looking forward to this and everything esle we could possibly do, just give me a Margarita in a pineapple with a umbrella and I'm good to go huh Ateh Eileen lol.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


START DOING YOUR LAUNDRY FOR PACKING PEOPLE!!!!!!!

WOO-HOO!!!!!!

Why is blogging so hard....brina had to do it for me!!!

Nicky's Birthday

Hey Sister, are we having/throwing a party for him while we're out there? I was thinking if not, we could just take him somewhere he's been wanting to go....is there anywhere he would love to go that's feasible? Maybe we could just rent a bounce house and have a water fight. That is a lot of fun and dad enjoyed watching us do it here! I looked online and the cheapest that I found is $129 for up to 8hrs! They have a lot of choices too. Really good BOY ones too. I'm not sure if the base has any. Maybe you or EJ can see if they have any on base. Just an idea and we would help with it!

Revised Budget

Ok so check out the budget info below. I updated it just now thanks to Sabrina's help. Still open to any suggestions. This is only an idea but let me know if you guys are coo with this.

GA DOOOSH!!!!!

OMG

Dude It's Like 2maro && Were In HAWAII. 14 More Dayz I Cant Wait =],, Were Goin To Have SOOOOO MUCHHHHH FUN

Budgeting Our Money Idea

Ok so last night I was thinking along with Erlene that we need to figure out just how much the important things are going to cost all of us in Hawaii, so I put some figures together for you all to check out and to be honest it's a lot better looking than I thought it was going to be.

Broken down by five groups I've come up with we can call couples, the total cost of things will be divided by 5. Then that amount will be how much each couple pays obviously. The couples are as follows:

Dad Mom
Eric May
Aaron Erlene
EJ Sabrina
Elison Eileen

So for a better look check out how things break down below.

Oceanarium:

Adults: $27 each, $297 total

Kids: $15 each, $45 total

Total: $342 $69 per couple

Waimea Falls:

Adults: $24 each, $168 total (EJ, Sabrina, Mom and Dad are free)

Kids: $12 each, (4-12 years old) $48 total

Total: $216 $43 per couple

Hanauma Bay:

Adults: $5 each, $35 total (EJ, Sabrina, Dad, & Mom are free for sure and possibly most of us)

Kids: FREE under 13 (Isaiah you're 12 in Hawaii dude)

Parking: $2 per car $6 total (that's three cars)

Total: $41 $8 per couple

Car Rental:

$403.00 per car for 6/19-7/2, 5 passenger dodge calibur through Thrifty rental with promo code #2150.

$806.00 total (2 cars)

$161.00 per couple (that's actually a lot less than I expected)
Ok so now if we add all this taking into consideration that we go to Hanauma bay like 3 times it's about $315 per couple for just the things mentioned above. Even adding in things like kayaks, food and gas you won't break $600 with say $150 for food, $40 for kayaks and maybe $60 for gas.

Please feel free to correct or say anything about these amounts. Think, we might not spend too much. We could replace certain things with say moped rentals or something. Also remember this is just the main things listed up here we still have a alcohol fund that I Aaron will be taking money for lol GA DOOOOSH!!!!!

hahaha

Ateh Eileen, the previous post is for YOU. Hahaha Especially NO silk panties and bra as a bikini!!!!

Another Rule......

I INSIST ON BATHING SUITS!! IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A BATHING SUIT, ONE WILL BE PROVIDED FOR YOU!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Dad!

Here's what Ateh Eileen just texted me. "Dad did so good 2day he got up n went outside n messed round wit da bike n stuff he stayed up for bout 2 hours thats good!!!" Aww, I'm gonna cry. Wow!!! GA-DOOSH! That was for you baby. :) We love you dad!!!

Only 13 more nanites till hawaii!! Time is going by fast!! I cant wait! So first thing ima do is kiss all my pamangkins then jump in the beach!!! Wow how freakin exciting is this!!!

BEACH BODY

Hey do you guys think that I can get a beach body in 1 week? Hahaha

OMG

OhMyGoodness I only have 4 more work shifts after today! (3 for Aaron) I'm getting sooo anxious I have butterflies in my tummy!....or maybe I have to boo boo. Hahaha

Dole Plantation

Oh yeah, the Dole Plantation is where you can get pineapple ice cream in a cool souvenir cup too. The store is pretty cool in there too. We just didn't buy anything last time because we were poorer then and we really just wanted the ice cream. But it's like a normal gift shop. It's pretty big. Oh yeah, this is where you can buy boxes of pineapples. Me and Aaron are sending one to his parents and one to his sister. Ooooh, we can make margaritas with the pineapple like the watermelon one that I made!!! Mmmmm
