Yayyyy!! We made it to Hawaii, and have spent the day exploring and settling in. There will be 3 other couples volunteering here this month and we've met 2 of them. The last couple will be here tonight.
We are living in a little efficiency duplex apartment for the month. LOUD birds woke us up this morning. Also, there was a strange noise that we found out later was the sound geckos make.
Above is the inside of our humble abode.
This is the view from our window.
There is a big plantation house on the property - Plantation Hale. We're having a breakfast staff meeting on the porch in the morning. We'll be finding out about what we'll be doing around here to help keep the conference center running!
We walked to this pretty beach this morning in 5 minutes. There were just a few other people there.
We are excited about being here, and are looking forward to living in Hawaii for a whole month!
It looks so beautiful. I love the blue water there. Make sure you get some snorkeling in. :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you made it safely. Thanks so much for my birthday message. I've listened to it several times. Talk to you very soon. Have a great time!!!!!!!!!! Deborah
DeleteYou're welcome Deborah... We tried to call and sing to you earlier, but the mountains we were in kept us from getting a signal. -Hope we didn't disturb your sleep!
DeleteWe will! -Probably on our first day off. :)
DeleteSo excited to see your pictures. Everything so far has been beautiful, and makes me want to go that much more! I especially loved the colorful flowers plus the fact you are only 5 min. from the beach! The place reminds me so much of Key West,,,gecko and glorious sunsets! Your work detail sounds interesting, too! Miss you guys and can't wait to check back in to hear and see updates from your volunteering adventure! Becky
ReplyDeleteThanks Becky...We're loving it!
