Two broke kids. That’s what we were, two broke kids. Now I am blessed to be able to travel and experience the new places and new countries.

This year for Christmas we cashed in miles, cashed in points so we could take all 7 of us to Hawaii.  Our gift to the kids.  Suzanne suggested it a year ago as something we should do.  The idea was set in motion.  Took a year of planning and organizing, but we are here.

The first thing we did of course is hit the beach.  I stood there in the water and took it all in. I could not believe my toes were in the Pacific Ocean on Waikiki Beach. I use to watch shows when I was a little girl that were filmed in Hawaii and dreamed that some day, I would get there.  And I finally did.   I smiled as I watched everyone in the water, playing with our granddaughter Charlee. A very special Christmas.
