Not a lot so far, but I'm sure I'll post other things later. I also imagine we'll tell the story of our very long first day of vacation later. The short version - weather at DFW (which people we know who live near DFW didn't even notice) delayed our flight out of Austin and messed up American Airlines entire flight network. So, rather than getting to Oahu yesterday afternoon in time for dinner, we got here this morning at 5:20am (local time), via Hawaiian Airlines and Las Vegas. Other than exhaustion and feeling rather unclean, it wasn't that bad, really (minus our suitcase, which we're still waiting for) -- and was mostly remedied when we saw this view from our hotel:


Not the best photo I've ever taken - but that's Waikiki beach (and the little dots you see in the ocean are surfers).

Check the link above to pics from our hike at Diamond Head. Next up is probably lunch & getting adjusted to the time zone.

Oh, and one unexpected bonus of detouring thru Las Vegas was that we got to get In-N-Out Burger. YUM!
