You may remember from my earlier post that my nephew’s class from Minnesota sent me “Froggie the Traveler” and I took photos of him all over Oahu, and while he was here he met a friend named Sammy The Sea Turtle, who went back to Minnesota with him.  Well they took some photos of him, freezing in the snow and all, and here they are. fun fun.

You will be missed Sammy, enjoy your new home lol!

My little nephew sent to me a stuffed frog from his school in St James Minnesota.

His name is Froggy the traveler and as part of a class project they asked me to take pictures of froggy in Hawaii.  My boyfriend and I couldn’t have been more happy to oblige, we brought Froggy to Waikiki beach and Diamond Head,we had lots of fun taking photos of him.

We even sent a friend, Sammy the Sea Turtle back with Froggy, maybe they will take some photos of him in Minnesota to send back to us! lol

Here are some of the photos we sent and a letter with more photos and interesting information about Oahu, Diamond Head and Hawaii in general, including the Humu Humu Nuku Nuku Apua a, which is Hawaii’s state fish!

This is Meeka, she is 2 months old and we adopted her from the Humane Society of Hawaii.

So far she and our Dog Maggie are indifferent to each other. They never play like Maggie used to play with our previous (mainland) cat Gracie.

My boyfriend and I listened to a time share in Waikiki the other day and we scored two free tickets (normally $72 each!) to Germaine’s Luau on Oahu in Hawaii and boy was it the most wonderful time ….  They call it “Hawaii’s Original Too Good To Miss Luau!”  They also gave us tickets for 4 free bar drinks each.  We had a COUPLE Mai Tais and a Germaine’s Special Blue Hawaii and a big Lava Flow, yummy!

So here we are , our Luau guide was named Ki’i (pronounced kee ee) she was allot of fun and really made you feel like family. Everyone here calls everyone family, auntie, uncle, etc because Hawaii truly has the Aloha spirit.

These are photos from the Hawaii “City Of Lights” held every year for the past 25 years.  It’s an all day and into the night party with lights, ginormous decorations, floats, fake snow being blown onto everyone from behind the snow man and woman, a huge Shaka Santa and Santa’s Wife, giant trees, . . whew, too much to mention, just come down and see it for yourself!

I walked down because it is less than a mile from my apartment and there is not much chance of getting a parking space unless you have a
