Having booked this trip last JULY, it had felt like we were waiting forever for our trip back to Oahu to arrive. Especially Greg - who only get's 2 weeks off a year. He was more ready than ANY OF US to get on that plane! :)
On Saturday morning we headed to SeaTac and grabbed our usual bagel sandwiches at the Great American Bagel, which has conveniently moved to the N gates which is where we were flying out of. Ritual.
Ben, having always been good, is now a total dream to travel with. We all watched movies, ate snacks, he took a short nap, and then we were landing in Honolulu - complimentary Mai-Tai's and all!
After landing, collecting our bags, grabbing the shuttle, and driving for 20 minutes, we arrived in paradise: Aulani!
Our room was ready for us and we immediately changed into our swimsuits and hit the beach!!
Next, we got Ben all registered and checked into Aunty's Beach House - which is Aulani's kids club (complementary child care, all day - as much as you want - included in the room fee). We had thought that we were just getting Ben signed up and ready for the next day when he had some scheduled activities, but after seeing the joint, Ben asked to stay for a bit!!
So Greg and I headed across the street to Just Tacos (one of the restaurants in the shopping center across the street from Aulani - AKA a better option in general for dining if you want more for your money...) for dinner and drinks. And we were NOT complaining about that situation at ALL.
After enjoying our time away (and if you know us, mealtime is the most challenging time we have with Ben), we headed back to collect our child and grab some food for him :)
And being on Seattle time and having traveled all day, we went to bed early and slept WELL that night.
