Day 8 in Paradise--sad day

Well folks it has finally arrived-- our last day. We're all packed and just moping about waiting for check out. The more adventuresome did the pool and the slide one more time. Pics on FB.

Yesterday we spent our last day in the sun waiting for the luau. It's called the Smith Family Tropical Luau. Now you may ask , is Smith a Hawaiian name? Of course not. Seems great father Smith came here from England and married a Hawaiian and the rest As they say is history. It was wonderful! Roast pig (roasted in a fire pit of course along with a pot of rice pudding), terriaki (sp?), adobo (?) chicken fresh fruits and much, much more! Oh, did I forget to mention poi? During dinner we were entertained with music and hula. After the feast we moved to an amphitheater for much more music and dancing depicting the "Golden Hawaiians-- all those cultures which have blended to make Hawaii what it is. So beautiful. Good way to end the visit.

Heading home with mixed feelings--wanting to stay but wanting the comfort of "HOME" and all that means. Either way this time Saturday we'll be home. Not looking forward to the longnhors before home! Leave 8:41 pm Friday and arrive cincy 3:14 pm Saturday. So I guess we'll be home-home around 6 pm.

After I've had some time to think, I'll post some thoughts on the trip. It's been an AMAZING ride!

Keep our flight home in your prayers. Thanks. Aloha
