Last Day in Paradise

This was not in Paradise; instead this was at halftime of yesterday's Seattle Seahawks--San Francisco 49'ers football game.  And, I am very proud to say the lady on the right is my first cousin Patti Skelton-McGougan, executive director of the Youth Eastside Services in Bellevue, WA.  Patti received the Century Link-Seattle Seahawks 2014 Service Award. She even made the Mega-screen at the stadium.  Patti, all your relatives are so proud of you.



Our last day on Oahu was highlighted by a trip to the westernmost point of the island.  We hiked and jeeped to the spot, and once we reached it, we were rewarded with yet another gorgileous view and two snoozing monk seals.  The flora and fauna and the albatross sea birds lying on their nests added to the experience.  We saw other visitors walking, biking and jeeping and just plain enjoying the brisk and blowing ocean air.  The hike took us through an area near where the TV series "Lost" was filmed.   It was a very windy day, so much so that the World surfing competition was again postponed. The day ended with another awesome sunset and a delicious dinner at LeiLei's just down the sidewalk from our condo. It has been a wonderful experience here in Hawaii, and, of course, it all happened too fast.  Still, that is good because it will be fun to review the memories.  Thanks to Annie for figuring out all the logistics of this wonderful vacation.  Back to Seattle tonight and home tomorrow morning.  Aloha from Oahu, and thanks to all here on the island who added to our experience. Enjoy the photos below.
