Welcome to Show and Tell Friday! It's Wednesday evening as I write this post and I just got home from my vacation in Hawaii at 9pm. I'm so tired and I have to get up early to go to work tomorrow but I went through some of my photos to share with you.
Allen has a second home in a resort area in Hawaii and this photo above was taken from the pool area. We had an amazing sunset that night!
We spent many days at this beach. The water is so warm! We had so much fun body surfing in the waves, strolling along the beach and just relaxing in the sun!
Allen's home is on the golf course and this photo was taken from his balcony, you can see the ocean from here. Amazing views!!!
His home is on the Big Island and one day we drove around to the other side to see the waterfalls! Breathtaking!!!!
When we arrived I went out and picked a bouquet of hibiscus, which are blooming everywhere! This is the table on his balcony where we ate breakfast every day and enjoyed some wine before dinner.
This photo above is from my iphone and it was dark so it's a little blurry but I had to share because it was my first time having a Lava Flow drink! Wow, they were amazing! This was taken our last evening there where we had dinner at the Canoe House at Mauni Lani Bay. It is the most romantic place ever! We had dinner outside right by the ocean. The waves are illuminated and just glow in the dark. It was the perfect way to end our vacation. Sorry, I should have put these photos in order but I'm too exhausted to do that tonight!
One day we went for a walk and we came upon this swing made out of driftwood.
Here's a pic of Allen, fit and tan and 6'6"! Yep! Nice!
I have so many more photos but I'm too exhausted to go through them all tonight. It was a memorable 8 days. I got the best tan I've ever had in my life and although that tan will fade, the memories will last a lifetime! I feel so incredibly blessed to have experienced this!
Allen also has a timeshare on Maui and he's looking to rent out 1 or 2 weeks. It's a great deal, better than you can find anywhere. He's letting it go for his cost! If you are interested in it, please send me an email at cindy95131@yahoo.com

Wow and I ever jealous! It's freezing here in Idaho. I am lily white after and oh so long winter and have not been on a vacation for what seems like ages. However, I am very happy for you. Is this true love???

Hawaii is like paradise. My BIL has a condo in Maui, he's always offering it to us. I may have to take him up on that. He may never get me to leave!! Glad you had a good time Cindy get some rest and thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeleteCindy, I've only visited Hawaii once and that was in 1971. Your photos make me think we should plan a trip. Glad you had a great vacation and that there is a handsome guy in your life. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLooks heavenly!!

So your still having a wonderful time, so envious. I love the driftwood swing. I have a friend in Australia whose husband collects large pieces of driftwood from beaches and carves them into the most amazing sculptures.
ReplyDeleteI am having a holiday soon, maybe I should be thinking of Hawaii but I think that it will be getting really hot there soon and I can't take my holiday until the end of April.
Thank you for sharing again this week and the work you put into letting us link up.

Hi Cindy! I was going to share my tulips but changed my mind after seeing your Hawaii photos! Thanks so much for sharing them. I only visited the Big Island for one day (drove around the whole island that day) but knew right then that I was home! We were in Maui a year ago and loved it, Kauai might be my favorite though. We were ulcky enough to stay at the Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Resort Villas and it was amazing! It's in the perfect spot too. The beach is not as crowded there. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting and have a great week!
Jennifer

Guess I'm just a little jealous...
ReplyDeleteCome on, ladies! Here is the real comment after all those beautiful pictures: what a cutie patootie you got for yourself!! :o)
ReplyDeleteIs that the right thing to say in English about a man?? In Spanish we would say: "que papito!".
Love your blog and your energy, Cindy! I wish we could sometime meet in real life.
xoxo,
Marcela
Beautiful Cindy! You look absolutely gorgeous too, that is an amazing body you're rockin' these days!!! Can you share some recipes or exercise tips...or are you still doing weight watchers? Whatever it is, it's working!
ReplyDeleteGreat to know you had a great time!
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome pair you two are! It has been a long time since I have been. Maybe we need to plan a trip.
ReplyDeletehello...just popping in to say how beautiful you look!!!! What a lovely vacay for you. :) Wishing you all happiness and peace.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are beautiful. Bob and I have traveled to the Hawaiian Islands for many years and missed going the last few years due to health. I recognize that awesome waterfall as Akaka Falls in the park by the same name. It is quite a walk to see the falls but well worth it. I was there on my last trip, about seven years ago, with my two grandsons.
ReplyDeleteAllen's offer is a fantastic price. I hope someone snaps it up.
I know you enjoyed your trip and yep, Allen is a hottie. I may be old but I recognize a handsome man when I see one. LOL
