Day 9.

This is Our Man and Woman in L.A.'s last full day in Hawaii. Deep heavy sigh. We wanted to spend the day doing really relaxing stuff. Soaking in the sun, hiking, a visit to the hotel spa.

We started the day with a morning hike. We heard there was a cool trail that started near our hotel called the Heritage Trail that was home to some archeological sites. Our Man in L.A. loves to get his history on. So, we were off. The trail was not too long (about 4 miles or so) but it definetely was a workout. Much of the hike was high above the ocean, which made for great ocean views. About 20 minutes into the hike, we saw this:



Ahh, nothing quite inspires confidence in hikers like signs of possible death. Love it.

As we continued, we did get to said archeological site. It was an ancient fishing village and the only remaining sign of it was this wall. I don't remember how far back it dates, but, I'm guessing pretty far.



At the end of the hike, we found this secluded and quiet beach. It was paradise. The water felt great on our tired feet.



After the hike, we headed back to the hotel and plunged into the pool. And the water slide. Got our tropical drink on. For free. Then, later that day, off to the hotel spa. The Hyatt spa is a bit out of control. In a really nice, uber calming, super detailed kind of way. Our Man in L.A. opted for a Swedish massage, and Our Woman in L.A. opted for the Thai massage. We left there feeling blissful.

But, as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. The next morning we headed back to the airport for our journey home. Before that, we had time to take a picture of our last Hawaiian sunrise. It was breathtaking.



Thanks Hawaii. We really appreciated your hospitality. We are sure to return. Until then......



Up Next: Our Man and Woman in L.A. head to Ohio for the weeekend! Can't wait to see the ocean. Oh wait, there's no ocean there. What's that? It's going to be in the low 40's at night? Ahhh. Love that midwest.
