    My Trip Report

    January 4-12th.

    Hey everyone! Just thought I'd throw out a mini report and send out some warm weather pics for those back in the cold!
    we're staying at the Aulani resort in Ko'Olina...this is actually our 4th time here since it opened in 2011. It's an easy direct flight from Vancouver when travelling with kids, so it's made it a goto destination for us in the winter. We actually are members of a vacation club called Club Intrawest. Although it doesn't have many of its own resorts, it's points can be exchanged with many other clubs, including Disney. We ultimately chose to buy into Club Intrawest as the points never expire (disney vacation club do) -they are an actual willable asset, so we can pass them down to the kids. So far we've always been able to get the resorts we were after, and due to family size, we always request a 2 bedroom. We have enough points that we were able to get a studio for my sis and her hubby, who enjoy travelling with us to get some time with the kids.
    Plan for the 8 days is lots of pool time, more pool time, and if we can squeeze it in, some pool time.
    So far all is well, everyone having fun. Today my hubby said he was waiting in line for the tube slide, and Neil Patrick Harris and his family were behind him in line. Haven't spotted him myself, but will keep eyes open. I really thought the resort would be less busy this week as most schools have started, but, it seems pretty full. We normally reserve a cabana by the pool in advance, didn't bother this time assuming it would be less busy, and......now we can't get one until Friday, and we have to be down by 9 am to get even 3 chairs together by the pool. Whoops.....oh well. First world problems, right? Nothing a piƱa colada cant't fix!
    Enjoy the pics.........soon to follow.......

    While walking down to the elevator today, a 65ish year old walks by in a speedo. My 8 year old quietly says to me he was kinda scared at seeing a guy in his underwear in the hall. We get in the elevator, it goes down one floor, and who squishes onto the elevator in front of me? ImageUploadedByTapatalk1420615286.090665.jpg

    My husband thinks I'm evil for taking a pic. I figure if it's a tiger print speedo, he probably would thank me for the attention he was looking for having worn it.

    Have a blast. We (kids too) stayed there recently at the Marriott just to the North - I think. Would run along the path and see all the small inlets. Very cool. We loved it.

    VC, great stuff. Happy you and the Fam are having a great time. However, when I asked for some pics I really didn't mean one of the 65 year old. Just to make it even if you happen to see a sunset or a bikini that would be great! have a great trip!

    Lol, I actually thought of you during a photo opportunity that I just couldn't possibly do......if morally I could have taken the pic, I would have, hehe.
    We grabbed some food at the poolside places here, and went up to sit at the dining area. As we are eating, my hubby says, "well, that's interesting". I turn around to see a woman, here in the dining area, completely topless, going through her beach bag, eventually finding a shirt, and putting it on. Not the slightest attempt at even trying to be discreet.
    I wouldn't bat an eyelash if it were vegas, but so far while at Disney, we've got a topless woman in the dining area and a 65ish in the leopard speedo, a little too close for comfort in the elevator.
    Maybe I'll try and get you a photo of the sunset Instead Packer.......I'm getting a wee bit intimidated by all the skin here at Disney! Who knew!

    I take back what I said earlier, sounds like Hawaii is the place to be, not Vegas!

    Excellent pics (minus gramps in the speedo lol)!

    As I sit here listening to the wind howling and the temps dropping seeing the pics of warm Hawaiian locales makes me jealous.

    Well another good day was had by all. We headed out to the North Shore, about a 45 minute drive. We checked out the beaches, HUGE waves- closed to swimmers as the waves and currents were just too much to be safe! The good news is I think I managed to get a bikini shot for Packer!
    The popular lunch there was to go to the shrimp trucks. As much as it seemed counter intuitive to eat seafood off a truck in hot Hawaiin weather, we went for it anyway. On the way back to hotel, we stopped at a favourite of ours, Leonard's bakery - another truck, serving Portuguese doughnuts. If you don't hear from me for the next 3 days, let's assume the food off the trucks got the better of me. My fingers are crossed and I'm just hoping for the best.
    We finished the night by putting the kiddos in the disney kid care called aunty's beach house, and we managed to have a great dinner at Ama Ama, an open air restaurant on the beach during sunset. The food was great- pics of the day to follow! ImageUploadedByTapatalk1420702960.594971.jpg
