At any rate, I still have a few days to write about just to keep this up to date and that's what I plan to do over the next hour or so it takes me to write. This trip has been far less about interesting tidbits then really any of our other trips and more just about pure relaxation and eating so it seems. I'm not going to complain one bit about it either!
Tuesday-another easy day here. We planned to snorkel Honolua Bay as we heard great reviews on the area. An hours drive from our condo was ok with us just to check it out. To access the bay, requires one to walk through a small forest with beautiful trees and plenty of roosters gawking at you along the way. No sunscreen is allowed as they believe the sunscreen is damaging the coral. So a t-shirt for me and a tank for Ted. Only later would he realize the mistake! As we arrive at the bay, all the land surrounding the bay is full of rocks. There really is no said beach to sit on, you just have to find some comfortable rocks that fit your butt. As we drop our bags, I give Ted the go ahead to go out on his own as I was fighting a headache along the way. Watching him manuever into the water was half the entertainment as one has to figure out how to weave around the rocks at the edge of the bay. It appeared no easy task for not only Ted, but the others I witnessed who attempted and even failed, falling directly on their hiney. I said a little prayer hoping the Gods would be kind to me when it was my turn. After 30 minutes, Ted made his way back to assist me to the water. I felt like that alone, took another 30 minutes! But, as luck would have it, we made it safely into the water and off we went. The fish and coral were nothing short of spectacular and neither was the three legged turtle which Ted named "Tri", we swam with for awhile. Had it not been for a chilly breeze I am certain we would have stayed in the water even longer than we already had. But, we decided it was best to call it quits and head to the shore. Another task awaited us working our way out of the water as well, but we both managed to walk away unscathed. As we dried off and made our way to the car, I grabbed some shorts I had brought and made a quick change in the port-a-pot. Arriving back at the car, I threw my stuff in the back seat, sat down in my seat, took a look down, and immediately noticed five ants crawling around my legs right by my shorts. I quickly freaked out, trying my best to shoe them off and define root cause and location of said ants. additional ants were located in the immediate vicinity of initial location and more were found mingling in my pants. I brought new meaning to ants in my pants. Let's just let it be known it was not a pleasant situation and thank goodness no others were around as I hunted for more! After the crisis was resolved, it was off to Lahiana for some peezah! Peezah hit the spot, but I bet you can't guess by now what really hit the spot? Shave ice of course! Pretty certain Ted and I could live off of it by now!
When finished, we thought we would make our way to the marina and check out the boats returning from fishing that day to determine if anyone outfished us. While we arrived just a see bit late, we could still determine by the flags which were flown what type of catch each boat brought in. The boat we had been on a few days prior only managed to bring home mahi mahi. We felt good!
Back to the condo we went for showers and a brief relaxing sit on the deck. Then it was off to watch the sunset and take pictures at yet another beach nearby. Ted and I passed the time by taking pictures of each other, pictures of our future baby's name in the sand (or at least the one we can both agree on at this point), and then just goofy photos of us attempting to get hang time in the air. It was wonderful. Mark it down as yet another successful day on our trip!

| Successful timing. Mad hops by Ted and not so mad hops by Britt. We'll blame it on the baby. |

You guys look really happy. I love reading your post and seeing all the wonderful photos. Hopefully one of these days luke and I can go when our kids are all grown up. It seems your getting better in the water which is great Britt. I'm not sure if I like the whole snorkeling quests it's kinda terrifying not knowing what's beneath you. The shaved ice looks really good and some interesting flavors. I love the name you gave the turtle Ted "tri" pretty fitting poor turtle must have got his foot ate of by something. Well I can't wait to see you guys. I love you both.
