Aloha Everyone-

I'm sorry it has taken so long for the updates, we moved to a new "apt" (basically a hotel room with a miniature kitchenette) for the remainder of our stay... and we have no internet. 😞 So I'm writing to you from Starbucks.

Here are the photos from Jackie's long weekend in Waikiki- Aug 6-11th.

Enjoy!!
