Whatever it is, yesterday was another eventful day. Once again, we all seem to get up whenever it gets light out, which usually means sometime around 6:30-7am. Yesterday was a bit more humid than the few before it, with frequent bouts of rain passing through and a noticible lack of wind. Today fortunately the wind is back and flushing out the humidity a bit, which makes it much more tolerable.
After getting everyone ready to go, Christie the bride came by and joined us to go up to Waimea Falls, which after getting to we decided not to pay the $10 to walk up to the actual falls, but went around the outer grounds and enjoyed the grenery of the Waimea Valley a bit. Then we continued around the island to the obligatory stop at the Dole Plantation. We rode the Pineapple Express through the pineapple fields, and of course I had the obligatory cup of Dole Whip. Beyond that thouse, this place has gone from being a creative tourist promotion of Dole and pineapples, to being a total tourist trap trying to sell you everything from the food you eat to the massive amounts of Dole-related and pineapple-themed merchandise. Not impressed.
After the plantation, we headed back to the house for a brief moment in the afternoon. =\\\\\\\-'

Sorry for that interruption, baby Maija decided to inspect my keyboard to make sure the keys still worked. She has now decided to go inspect the TV remotes on the table instead. :)
Later in the evening, Nick's bachelor party required Chad, Adam, and I to drive down to Waikiki for dinner at Sam Choy's followed by hitting some bars downtown. Dinner was good, but we didn't do much on the bar front before I was not feeling well from the long running days, and the three of us decided it was time to head back before it was too late, considering we had another hour drive to the north end of the island. We made it back in around 1am and the night was over.
Friday leaves a much less busy day, yet should have plenty of stories. More on that tomorrow.
