We've Finally Arrived (Day 2)

Aloha! Greeting from Honolulu, Hawaii.  Jessica and I have had a full two days of travel but the beauty of paradise makes it all worth it!

Our day started at 4am to catch a flight to Chicago and then we boarded another flight, which lasted 8 hours to Hawaii.  Nevertheless, we had a successful flight and we're enjoying our ocean front view of Waikiki Beach.   

Because Jessica and I lost a day of vacation we had to revamp our entire trip.  So when we arrived in Hawaii we decided to walk and discover the sights of Waikiki.  On our exploration we found one of our favorite restaurants... THE CHEESECAKE FACTORY!!!  This was not any ordinary cheesecake factory.  The seafood was much bigger and more fresh then what can be found in Kansas.  Also, the portions of cheesecake served was much larger!  So we learned very early that we would eat very well while in Hawaii.

The day ended with a slow walk on the sandy beach.  Jessica and I didn't talk much while on the beach.  We were so "in the moment" that it was like having a conversation without any words.  This peaceful silence led me to look up the word "honeymoon".  The dictionary defines the words as: An early harmonious period in a relationship.  To be in harmony is to be in agreement in feelings or opinions.  When love is truly in sync or in harmony it can be a satisfaction that words can not describe.

Today I take pleasure in being in harmony with my new wife.
