My fingers have been tinglin', ready to show you photos of our adventures in Hawaii... now that we're back home, we can!!
JD had more days off from work this year to play than he did last year. We wanted this trip to be more organic and spontaneous than last year's trip of a

First Stop: Wailana Coffee House
These coconut pancakes are the bomb diggity. What's the white syrup? More coconut, of course!!
If you ever go to Oahu, please stop by Wailana Coffee House for these pancakes. The eggs were gross, but the pancakes and bacon were phenomenal.
Here is the view from our first hotel, the Doubletree Hilton. Rain, rainbows and murals of flipping whales.
Oh yes. The wonderful employees of the Doubletree greeted us with hot chocolate chip cookies and we were pumped.
Originally, because of our late reservations, we had to break up our stay into several different hotels. But, being the awesome and persistent husband he is, JD called the Hilton Hawaiian Village at least five times the week before we arrived and he finally got us a room there for a consistent three weeks. We did have to stay at the Doubletree two nights when we arrived but it was much better than our previous plans of having to switch hotel rooms several times a week. Everyone was super nice at the Doubletree and the rooms were nicer than the Village... but the Village has way more activities so I was happy there while JD was working. If you're going to vacation in Waikiki, we would recommend the Hilton Hawaiian Village.
Here is our map from Honolulu to the North Shore, our favorite area on Oahu! More to come about that next post...
