Rob & Christina’s Christmas Vacation 2019 – Round 1

January 8, 2020/Photo Gallery

My wife Christina was thrilled that our flight to Hawaii for the holidays left first thing in the morning

Look closely…this is our view from our seats in First Class and yes, that’s a sippy cup. Because now, not only do parents take their kids to Hawaii to be miserable, but they fly in first Class while doing it!

Look closely again…that’s the child’s Ipad ON HIGH VOLUME for all to hear!

My wife loves these stupid neck pillows…me, not so much. I felt like Frankenstein’s monster

Meanwhile, my wife and I spent part of our time playing this word game (because we’re fun like that) against the computer tablet the Airline gave us. Take a close look at all of the bogus words the computer played! Total cheater! Seriously? JARL? AHURU?

We arrived! And as you can see, my wife is thrilled to wait with our luggage while I fetch our rental car

We safely arrived at our Ocean View two bedroom suite at our ALL ADULT RESORT!!! WOOT WOOT No rats!

What? Did you not believe we had an Ocean view? All day every day of this…

This is the infamous tub that later would be overfilled by my wife (If you follow me on Instagram robradradio you already know that)

When needed, we had a fridge, freezer, microwave, dishes, silverware, barware, anything for a day hiding from the world enjoying the ocean

What? You didn’t believe me that we had a fridge? And of course, we came prepared

What? You didn’t believe me that we came prepared? (And no, this wasn’t nearly enough liquor for 10 days in Hawaii…much more was purchased)

Once we got settled in, I locked in the thermostat to the perfect temperature (yes, I am a child)

And of course the first thing my millennial wife did was pose for a selfie

I won’t bore you with endless sunset pictures, but this was our view every single afternoon

This was one of the parking lots at our resort. I only took this picture because my law school wife saw this sign and simply said “provably untrue.”

When traveling to Hawaii, we like to do things early our first day there because we’re still 2 hours ahead on mainland time, so first up was finding the perfect local breakfast place

I can’t eat enough Loco Moco when in Hawaii and this place had the best. Top tip; avoid (for the most part) swanky restaurants in Hawaii and find local places. The more hole-in-the-wall, the better.

This place was good they made amazing chicken fries steak (good enough to get Christina’s “I’m from Texas” seal of approval)!

First up was our favorite Hawaiian tradition; ATV rides!

Prior to our ATV ride we asked to use the restroom and were told to head to the blue building behind the check-in desk. This turned out to be in…does it look blue to you?

Once inside, this was the state of the ATV bathrooms first thing in the morning

Hey, we’re not there to eat, right?

Something else, I won’t bore you with are endless rainbow pictures…this was the second of more than 2 dozen we saw while there (we lost count after 20 in the first week)

After the ATV adventure, it was lunch time…and nothing says “great Hawaiian food,” like a hole-in-the-wall next to a tattoo shop

And it did not disappoint…It is not possible for me to eat TOO much Kalua Pork or Hawaiian chicken

My wife, meanwhile, loves Spam Masubi and hamburger steaks, which are basically ground beef patties in brow gravy which are somehow amazing only in Hawaii

Back at our resort, this is the beautiful pathway we got to walk to and from our car each day…(wait for it)…

…and along the way one day at our “adults only resort” we found a discarded feminine hygiene capsule. Keep in classy, Maui

More to come next week, but I had to work this picture in because I’m told that my shirt makes the while trip tax deductible, right? Right?
