long sunday

it's almost 11pm, and i only got 3 hours of sleep last night AND rode 25 miles this morning, then had a couple of dad's friends over for kalbi dinner here, who just left...so i'm about to keel over, but didn't want to leave people hanging from the last entry. :)

we made it this morning just fine...will post more later, when i send myself the pics from my phone. meanwhile here's the one rye took of me at the turn around point at Waimanalo.

weather was beautiful, LOVE being back on my bike, ride kicked my but...yet it was so much fun, can't wait to go again.

uh oh...

not quite the auspicious beginning. still up at midnight! century bike ride tomorrow. rye's flat refused to be fixed. with more than 10 blisters on his hand, a bunch popped, scabby or bloody, finally got the tire on, only we have to be awake in 4 hours!!! 6 am start! gonna try for 25 miles now instead of 40. :) should still be fun!

Waikiki Weekend

Okay, since I've been getting grief from several people to update my post and show what we've been up to, thought I'd at least post for this weekend. :)

Rye and I had a wedding to go to on Saturday night, with the reception at Halekulani. While we didn't quite feel like the splurge of a $400/night room there, we did think a night at the Outrigger Reef Hotel to play tourist would be fun.

For my girly friends - here are photos from the wedding - the decor and reception were AMAZING.

They even had a photo booth!!

Had never seen such an elaborate, yet classy cake.

Waikiki Weekend - Pt 2

Since I had so many wedding pictures, thought I'd do our few other shots separate. :)

Here's the view from our room:

And just an elevator ride down to the beach:

Yummy tourist drinks with the beach, stars and sound of waves...

And thanks to Mer, really yummy ramen in the middle of all these Japanese tourists!

A really nice weekend away. Hee hee...It's nice to play tourist. Even if we're only 5 minutes from home, it felt like we really went somewhere! :D
