-Rainbow sighting en route to Hale'iwa (we saw at least 1 rainbow a day here!)
-North Shore SURFING at Sunset beach - Charlie only, Jaime chillax and take pix on beach.
**Since coming to Hawai'i, Charlie had wanted to learn to surf. He'd surfed in the beautiful bay of Galveston before (or was it Matagorda?), but never anywhere with clean water and bigger waves than a speedboat wake. Finally on our last day in Hawai'i he decided to take a lesson. He ended up taking it from a legendary surfing instructor/coach, Uncle Bryan of the Sunset Surrat surfing school. Uncle B was as nice and as patient as could be. Charlie and another man, Mike, were the only two guys in the class at 8:30am at Sunset Beach on the North Shore....charlie can explain more of his experience soon...

-Cholo's Mexican Cafe lunch in Hale'iwa
**Cute little mexican restaurant in Hale'iwa that people rave about. I have to admit that it was just okay, especially compared to the Mex/Tex-Mex we get in H-town. Jaime had a fish burrito (mahi mahi) that was delicious and Charlie had fish tacos (ahi tuna?).
-USS Bowfin
**Since we only got to see the USS Arizona at the beginning of the trip, we spent the last couple hours of our Hawai'i vacation back at Pearl Harbor, touring the USS Bowfin, a submarine. It was pretty cool, but man are those quarters cramped! There were some beds that I don't know how anyone would crawl into - kinda freaky. The terlets were neat and Charlie especially liked the flip-down sinks they had. Maybe we'll install one in our bathroom!
-Airplane ride home.
**After a wonderful trip in Hawai'i, it was finally time to say goodbye to the Aloha State. We caught another beautiful sunset at the airport, which is partially open to the outdoors, and then Charlie hopped on the 7:45pm and Jaime grabbed the 9:30pm flight to Houston (ps: Shrek 3 is pretty good - Jaime got to see it on the flight home).

Ok, so I'm going to just comment on your entire trip in this one. Ha-vai-e looks heavenly! I can't believe that propeller air thingy you guys went on. So fun! It seems like this may be the time to go with lower crowds and such. A nice fall trip to heaven. Ahh....
