Here we are on the North Shore of Oahu where a bunch of the surfing spots that the Beach Boys were singing about in the early 60's. I snorkled today in a little beach that was just a couple miles west of the Banzai Pipeline, and just a couple miles east of Waimea Bay! The water here is clear as can be, and the fish are plentiful. I spent about 45 minutes in the water while Joyce read a book on the beach. Then we stopped at Waimea Bay and spent about an hour talking with a couple who relocated there from Europe about 35 years ago. After that we went to Hale'iwa for lunch. I had a pulled pork sandwich that was pretty good. Then we cruised around the shopping areas a little. By now it was mid afternoon, and a break with a nap sounded good. When we got back to the place where we are staying, the key that we left hidden in a fake rock was gone! Not just the key, but the fake rock also. So we spent an hour or so contacting the owner, and getting another key. Apparently the new young dog they have has been known to do strange things like move rocks and shells from their places. By then it was Mai Tai time, and the World Series was on. A-Roid went 0 for 4and Philly won 6 to 1, so all was well again.(Go Philly's)
Internet connection is very weak here, but I will try to post some picture later today or tomorrow.
Only one more day,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Ernie

I suppose the weather is still perfect, its raining buckets here, the water running down the street out front looks like a river. At least its a little warmer today than yesterday. Sounds like you have had good weather the whole trip. I'm glad you got in some snorkelling, Ron's going to be jealous.
Don't forget to have an extra mai tai for me.......Diane
You look good there "surfer dude"! Hey Joyce, get in the sun! Sounds like this vacation has been a lot of fun. Our weather has been like Ron and Diane's - rain, rain and more rain. Even a hailstorm that left the yard and deck covered (lasted till morning). The passes are getting lots of snow, too. Yuk! See you tomorrow night.........
GREAT pictures, that guy with surf board I had to double take I thought it was you dad. You guys look great, and it looks like you are having so much fun! See you soon
