Day 2: June 20, 2013

I slept terribly on my first 6 hour time change without Dan. I went to bed at 2 AM eastern time and slept until 10 AM eastern time but I woke up every hour. I went to free breakfast with Maj and ate fruit, oatmeal and half of a waffle. It was awesome! Dan came to meet us after his overnight and then he slept for 5 or so hours. I went to Walmart and the commissary with Maj and we got lots of good hotel needs.. Bin for food, plastic silverware, hangers, utensils, plastic plates, Tupperware, paper products, beach chair and umbrella, etc. I wished I bought a tray to bring food to the grill, more hangers, a cooler, a sponge, dish soap and tongs. We got a lot of food too but most of it was a one time buy like spices, ketchup, and other stuff like that. When we got back, Dan and I drove to Waikiki and got on beach access at the hale koa. This is the military hotel in downtown Honolulu.  It was gorgeous!! We both couldn't stop smiling and talking about how lucky we are. The water is clear but cold! The Hilton Hawaiian village where both of our families will stay was right next door and looked very nice as well. When we left, the sun was setting and it was a perfect drive back... About 20 minutes to base. We made grilled barbecue chicken and salad with cucumbers and Olive Garden dressing (thank you mom)! We're trying to stay healthy and not eat out too much. After i cleaned up, Dan studied a bit and we're cuddling on the couch watching tv. By the way, I sprayed for bugs today. Great day!

The last picture shows the Hilton Hawaiian Village where both families are staying! The picture doesn't do it justice.
