First day in Hawaii

Larisa and I just got to Hawaii today for our week long vacation. Everything so far has been the dream we were hoping for. After getting here and renting the car (they gave us a funny looking Chevy because the smaller car we reserved wasn't available) we found the hotel without a map, address, or phone number (I forgot all that at home). Somehow I managed to recognize the street name and drive straight here. Then we tried out the water. It was cold to the touch at first, but after swimming for five minutes it felt like paradise. Then we changed and looked around for a restaurant. We set out to try some place that we found online, but luckily some local told us to try Sansei instead. It is a Japanese sushi-house with prices a little higher then we were expecting. We shared appetizers and one entree (crab and mango rolls, shrimp tempura, and salmon fillet and tiger prawn in some amazing sauce). With each new dish we were newly surprised at the burst and variety of flavors, as well as the small portions. Afterward we had fried banana cheesecake with ice cream, which was equally impressive. Larisa said this is the best restaurant she remembers ever going to. The flavors really lingered in our mouths; we didn't want to eat any of it to fast. I felt a little bit bad polluting my mouth with KFC after we left, but I had to fill up the tank somehow.

Don't tell me you're having so much fun that we can't get a running commentary. Have you run out of things to do? We are having a BLAST (not literal), went to the children's Museum yesterday, Lydia let out the Bobcats (caused quite a stir). Ilea and Alysa (I'm sure the spelling is correctable) came over to visit last night, night has a new perspective 6-9 PM. We now know every line and scene in Nemo, we have watched it 38 straight times, perhaps a new world record is in the making.

Love
