Hawaii: Day 10 (11 June 2009)

Today was our last full day on Oahu. Earlier in the week I made a deal with Amy that if she would take us up the Stairway to Heaven I would take her out to breakfast... It was a pretty good deal all around! Amy took us to a tiny pancake restaurant that's famous for their pancakes and Macadamia Nut syrup. At first sight I thought this had better be good! The line was out the door and down the street. But "Amy said" it would be worth it so we got in line. This is how it works... you go up to the entrance and get your name on the list then you wait in line for about 30 to 45 minutes looking at the menu and deciding what you want to order. After what seems like forever (you can smell the delicious aromas wafting through the door) a server comes out to get your order and then... you wait for another hour or so when they call your name and you finally get to go inside to wait even longer for your food to come. So by this time they could be serving yesterdays slop and it would taste divine because your stomach thought your throat had been cut.

Anyway, the food came and the portions were generous and it tasted wonderful!
It was worth the wait and now we wish we could make that mac nut syrup! I would wait in line for hours to have it... wait I did... So, with breakfast taking the whole of the morning of our last full day we decided to get into the ocean one last time. We went snorkeling at Shark's Cove. It was pretty crowded but there were lots of fish and I even got to follow a little turtle around for a bit.


Throughout most of our vacation Amy spent lot of time with us and poor Juan always had to either work or go to school so we decided to spend our last evening at their house eating dinner and playing games. I bet Juan was glad to see us go so he could have his new wife back, I can understand that. I remember what it was like to be a newly-wed!
