Here we are, sitting at the Honolulu Airport, heading to Maui... we booked an afternoon flight because we weren't sure how much time we'd need to get off the boat. Turns out we allowed ourselves too much time and got to see about two planes leave before us... lets just say we had to be creative entertaining seven little boys!

Sail Away...
We set sail on Saturday, November 28th, returning one week later on December 5th. Our ship was the Norweigan Cruise Line's 'Pride of America' and we cruised around the Hawaiian Islands.... here are some pictures from the ship (our shore excursions will be posted separately)
Getting on to the boat!
A sunset as we set sail one night
Elephant - we loved to see the daily towel creations & you know you have boys when they constantly fought over who got to 'destroy' it :)
The grand staircase by the reception area
first morning on the boat - watching tv in their room
Breakfast at the Skyline Restaurant - all decorated for Christmas
Fun carpet in the hallway
Teddy Bear picnic at Kids Club
Fun carpet in our room :)
These four little lounge chairs were in a row between the big chairs so I attempted to get a nice picture but they never once all cooperated at the same time!
The kiddie pool

Pool fun with cousins - tackling Brendan was a favourite pastime
'King Cole' - a castle theme at Kids Club
Lava Flow as we sailed by the Kilauea Volcano - 'Madame Pele', one of the most active volcanoes! (We were able to stand on our deck and watch)
Jackson entertaining Cole in our room :)
The kids' 'Aloha Buffet' - just around the corner from the Aloha Buffet was a perfect kid-size buffet! We often fed them here and then took them to Kids Club, while we went somewhere else for supper (it was just faster and easier and they preferred it)

Pearl Harbor
On our last day on Oahu (Saturday, November 28th) the guys took some of the older children to Pearl Harbor, while the moms took the younger kidlets for one last walk down the Waikiki shopping strip and to the International Market Place. Miles graciously took the camera with and humoured me with some pictures...
Ethan listening to information
Oahu, Hawaii - Waikiki
Here are a few pictures from our stay right in Waikiki...
The city at night (balcony view)
BBQ's at our resort - our chef's for American Thanksgiving! Miles was in the room on shrimp duty - great job guys! (they did the shopping too)
Cole in our room and obviously on the counter! He is quite a little monkey at the moment and would fit in quite nicely at the Honolulu Zoo :)
