Decompression

Lots of people would have headed for home right after the cruise was over. But not us! We really felt like we would need to decompress a bit before we went home. After all, we'd been on a whirlwind tour of the islands. What better place to decompress than Turtle Bay on Oahu's north shore?

It was fabulous! Such a beautiful place. All rooms were ocean view. Fabulous pool. Great beach. Nice restaurants. I wish we'd had time to play the golf course.

We were a bit confused when we arrived. We arrived on Saturday and thought we were to check out on Tuesday for a total of three nights. That's when we found out we'd only booked two nights. Mark was all set to call it a screw up and blame it on hotels.com but I thought that before we had them book us in for an additional night, we should probably check to see when our flight home was. As it turns out, our flight was on Monday, not Tuesday. Two nights was correct. Glad we checked. Much as I would have loved to stay in Hawaii, missing your flight is always a pain in the butt. Even though I could have used one more day, it was just the amount of time we needed to relax before heading for home.
