Honeymoon in Hawaii, day one.

No doubt, this is paradise. In fact, and as I had predicted, we woke up this morning to the subtle crashing of waves from the Pacific Ocean. From bed, through the screen doors in our suite facing the lagoon, (and just beyond, the ocean) we literally listened to the sun rise. During a previous stay with Talia, now three days my wife, we had a similar room, and yes this is how I remember it. We officially began relaxing today. Between sunset yoga, listening to live music at the pool from our balcony, and snorkeling in the lagoon, and of course bathing in the sun. Here's a picture showing our view.

We secured reservations at Azul for dinner tonight. We'll probably end up Hokule'a Bar, like we did last night, which is a great casual bar here in the resort with lots of windows that let your imagination take you off and into the translucent blue sea.

This is a special treat since we're on the west side of Oahu, in Hawaii (right beyond Kapolei), just 19 miles from Honolulu where we flew in yesterday afternoon.

Much to look forward to tomorrow. Our complimentary breakfast (part of our stay package), morning facials, and perhaps another round of sunset Yoga. Oh, we'll also be heading to our first Luau for this stay at Paradise Cove tomorrow night. More to follow then.
