Paradise

Alohaaa. So the first flight left Fairbanks at 1:30 AM Sunday morning. We waited FOREVER on the runway until a de-icer came and sprayed the plane. I tried sleeping in different positions, but the best one was on mom's shoulder haha. I think the plane got to Seattle at 5 or 6 something. It was really cool seeing all the city lights! After we landed we ate breakfast and then boarded the next flight..I think it left at 7 something. Mt. Rainier in the sunrise looked awesome! It was gonna be at least a 5 hour flight so I rented a Digi Player (they forgot to swipe everyone's cards since there was turbulence and the pilots really wanted them sitting. Oops haha). I watched Ice Age 3 and a lot of The Dark Knight Rises before we had to give them back. There was like 40 some minutes left..I wanna see the end!! Haha. It was cool seeing the Hawaiian Islands suddenly rise out of the ocean. We landed at 11 something..it was so warm!! And it smelled good haha. I'm so not used to the heat and humidity. :P After getting our luggage and rental car we went to eat at Outback Steakhouse..I hadn't eaten there in years. Then we went to Wal-Mart and drove the 30 some minutes to the hotel. I took a nap since I was so tired. The hotel is pretty nice..it has three pools! After relaxing in our room we got our bathing suits on and went walking on the beach! The water was cold at first but got warmer when you got used to it. The sand felt painful..maybe it has lava in it. After that we went swimming in the heated pool. It was AMAZING..it felt so refreshing! Especially since I felt so smelly and gross after traveling. It felt so nice to swim. Plus I need to swim before I start my period. :P The sun was setting while swimming..it sets SO fast here! In Alaska it stays on the horizon forever and takes even longer to get completely dark. So weird. We tried the jacuzzi too which was also nice. After that we went back to the hotel, got dressed and went to dinner. Yummy! At one point I looked up and saw a cat face that looked like Cheetah's! That was so weirdd haha. The waitress said it was Morris, the hotel cat. He went around to the tables and begged for food haha. He seemed to like me..I kept petting him hehe. Mom fed him lobster which he LOVED. Aw cute hehe. After dinner we played some Pictionary and went to bed (they're so comfortable!). So nice to sleep!

I was so confused when I woke up and saw sunlight at like 7 something. I thought it was the bathroom light for some reason haha. We slept in and then went to breakfast. Now we're just sitting outside..it's so sunny and clear! The palm trees are lovely too. There are all these cute little birds flying around and frolicking hehe. I wonder what we shall do next..yay :)

Here, have a pic of the view from our table!
