Pool at the Condo

Some of the grounds

The coy ponds

The dining room looking in to the kitchen. I didnt take any pics of kitchen for some reason

The living room with AMAZING View!!

The Lanais which you can access from 3 different rooms We have pics of the 2 bathrooms too but I dont think anyone cares about them and for some reason I didnt takes pics to show you the 2nd bedroom and only took one pic of the master bedroom which doesnt do it justice …

The Tunnel of Trees you have to drive thru to access the road in and out of the condo and something you dont want to drive at night!
Behold the Tunnel of Tree !

After the Luau and One too many Mai Tai’s we met up with the performers

We had a great time and sat with some really great people.  Plus the MC thanked us for being such good sports and participating and celebrating my birthday with them…

So we returned home and got settled back in to reality yesterday.

It was more like We were instantly shocked back with the cold since we arrived home with sun burns, shorts and a 5 hour time fast forward…LOL

We now know why my parents purchased in Poi Pu it is truly Paradise!

We had an amazing time!! We did everything from Kayaking, Hiking, Snuba Diving, Snorkeling, Sailing, Shopping, Dining, Luau’s and much much more …

We took 3 memory disks with us for the Cannon Rebel and ended up having to buy a 4th disk while we were there PLUS we bought an underwater camera!

Needless to say it will take us a while to post all of these pics…In the meantime here is our sunset sail as a preview:

Aloha !!

Not too shabby for being up over 24 hours Huh??

Aaron and I left around 7pm Thursday Oct 2nd to head to Ohio.
His Grandmom Nadine is very ill and had been in the hospital.  She wasnt able to swallow and had trouble breathing.  She is also very swollen and unable to get up unassisted. We went to visit with her and help out anyway we could.
We made great time we arrived in Ohio around 4am.

Aaron’s grandmom was soooo happy to see him
as you can see in this picture ……….

We were also able to visit with Aaron parents once or twice and his Grandmom McClung too.  We tried to arrange a visit with his sister and 2 nephews but they were busy so we didnt get to see them.

We did also manage to visit the city for a few hours during the course of our trip.
Here are some misc photos from downtown Cincinnati:

It was really great for Aaron to be able to spend so much time with his Grandmom Nadine and spend some time with some of his other family members too……

Our Hot tub (Heart Shaped) and Kitchenette Area

Our sitting area, Fire Place and round comfy bed

Aaron Summoning the Fire Gods so we could sit outside and enjoy the stars, drinks and the wonderful Barb-b-que feast he prepared for us!!

Our Beach Cabana - bought this New this year and we were so happy we did!!
Bikinis can come-and-go across the beach, but Aaron is immersed in his Physics book going over torque and force in magnetic fields ! He deserves a Klondike bar !

Photos Aaron took of me Day 1 and Day 2 on the Beach…..Ugh!

Beautiful Surf for 3 days straight…….we hated to come home!! We just love spending time down the shore soooo much and we enjoy staying at the Resort we belong to ’cause even though its just an hour from home it feels like a True Vacation always!!
We look forward to going down several more times before the season is over…..
