Ed and Jamie Do Oahu!

Monkey in a Tree
  Ed and Jamie were in for adventure when they stepped foot onto Oahu. Right off the plane we headed through muddy jungle paths to ancient ruins before driving up a winding ridge road to an overlook of  nighttime Waikiki all lit up.

   They experienced the underwater wonders that Oahu has to offer from the fabled Hanauma Bay to Shark's Cove on the North Shore. Jamie mastered snorkeling after only two times and Ed scored one of the best Oahu dives anyone could ask for. His underwater luck brought in some spotted eagle rays, moray eels, a sea turtle, and a rare encounter with a Hawaiian monk seal. Heidi even found a few nudibranchs to show him.

  Throw in some waterfall hikes, Buddhist temples, overlooks, beaches, sea glass missions, and surf, and you would still only scratch the surface of their trip. It was great to combine Savannah and Hawaii. Even when I was busy Ed and Jamie were off on their own finding ballroom dance events or soaking up history at Pearl Harbor.

  I feel like this adventure pushed Jamie a little out of her comfort zone (hiking in sandals, snorkeling in the ocean) but she came through with flying colors. She and Ed just had a nine hour flight back to the east coast so they had time to catch up on some sleep....now its my turn!
