Day 7 - Ihilani Resort

On Sunday afternoon we flew back to Honolulu because my Dad had some more business to take care of on Tuesday. We flew into Honolulu, had a wonderful dinner in downtown Honolulu and went to our next hotel. It was a Marriott Resort and it was awesome! It was dark when we arrived, but we saw enough to know that we wanted to spend more time than we had left. On Monday we were supposed to go reef walking with a client of my Dad's but the resort was so cool that we decided just to hang out, go snorkeling and swim all day. Unfortunately when we returned to Honolulu it was also the beginning of Jelly Fish season, so we all opted not to go into the cove for snorkeling. instead we spent the day enjoying the pool and just hanging out. We had an awesome time! The weather was perfect! That evening we also hung out, walked on the beach, laid in a hammock, and played some games with my family. We were totally bummed that we didn't have more time to spend at this resort. I would highly recommend it to anyone! The next morning Aaron and I had a great breakfast on our balcony and just explored the place. We found a little path that led to a small public beach (obviously not a lot of people go there!) it was beautiful and led right to the ocean. We also found a lot of crabs and I managed to get a picture of one before it ran and hid. The resort also had these pools of animals. On one side were a bunch of small hammer head sharks. On the other side was a bunch of Manna Rays. It was really cool to watch them.
