At long last.....

ELIZA IS HERE!!! This post is going to be a lot of pictures and not much writing; hope you enjoy anyway. This is Week 1 only.

Eliza arrived with Jack and cried for about an hour after she got here, pretty much from the point in the shuttle when Jack told her, "Look, there's the ship." It was really fantastic, although a bit surreal to see her.
She relaxed for the first few sea days. We went to the Normandie one night for dinner... yum!


Post-Normandie.
In Hilo, the first port, Jack and I had boat drill and a meeting, so we sent Eliza on a walking tour to a volcano on the island. She said she loved the tour and learning about the volcano.
Where lava meets water.
Waterfall in Hilo.
Love this pic she took.
Port Day 2: Nawiliwili port, we went on a helicopter tour of Kauai. She said it was the most amazing thing she's ever done.





Na Pali Coast.




At the Marriott resort afterward.


We had lunch at Duke's (a restaurant on the beach) and then a little outdoor siesta :)
What a life....!








We just have to say, Hawaii doesn't feel quite complete without our other Hyland girl! Mommy we're missing you all the time, and wishing so much you could be here... next time.... sigh..

Anyway, that's it for now, but more to come from week 2 soon... Enjoy!
