reminiscing family vacation in hawaii
sunset in waikiki
This morning, I woke reminiscing the excellent moments we had during our last family vacation to Hawaii. Six months had passed and every time we ran through the videos with our preschooler, I would be reminded of the golden sunsets at Waikiki and the superb ocean views from our room. This must be one of our best vacations! Though my other half still complain and nag every now and then about my shopping indulgence and splurge, I know he had a lovely time himself too. He went for surfing lessons for the first time while I spent some quality time with my boy in DFS Galleria Waikiki and the Ala Moana mall - that was nice!

One of the fun things we did was the cruise with NCL. That being our first time was memorable and exciting. The seven days cruise in the Hawaiian waters gave us the opportunity to savour the beauty of Maui, Kauai, Big Island - not the best way to enjoy the islands but good enough for first timers. Of all the islands, we love the relaxed ambience of Kauai and Kona. We thoroughly enjoyed our first cruising experience especially in the evenings when our boy was deposited at Kids Club! The youth carers did a great job in keeping him entertained while we had a no-rush dinners in a different specialty restaurant every night. That was a real treat for us - after all these years of eating cold meals 
Being a strong supporter of online accommodations, all our hotels during our 2 weeks visit to Hawaii were done online.
