From Abby:
We have picked up the white Prius and given back the other car that we borrowed.

Yesterday we went to the Waikiki aquarium. I liked that there was a thing that you could carry with you and pressed a number and put it up to your ear and a person speaks about the thing that you were looking at. I liked the sharks that always keep their mouth open and mom liked the frogfish -it was a fish but had its fins more like legs. There was also an octopus but it was asleep.

We also went to the beach and I was kind of scared at first and so we walked around for a little. But then I went in and played and jumped in the waves. Zachary went on top of the waves, in the waves and under the waves. He was splashing a lot.

From Liz:
We also got our beds delivered today and our internet and local phone are scheduled to be turned on tomorrow! And we got our boogie boards for our next beach trip and some other water toys. I think that we will really start to feel settled now!!

We were going to do without a landline, but got a deal with the internet and so decided to get it. I also heard that it matters to people that you have an 808 number (the area code) - that it helps to get things done because you "belong". Our number is (808) 988-2313, but we are still expecting to use our cells most of the time.
