hawaii trip video takes

our hawaii trip oct-nov 2011

one of the happy moments.........of mine...........................at pearl harbor.......
javier is so malikot while on tour at the mss missouri battleship...u could see how small he is and how gigantic the ship was.....
here is a family pic...our departure from naia airport en route to narita, then hawaii...kids woke up early and so excited....check out javier still so sleepy..does not care what was happenning around him...the girls in their nice travel outfits with matching hats.
a shot inside the rented van...we noticed that rainbows are ordinary occurance in hawaii...we seen so many of it while we were there....joaquin took this shoot...rainbows end in my mouth hehehe...might be some treasure inside me that may be the reason for my big tummy....
the gang at the back of the van....both jana and javier have to sit in their car seats for safety......joaquin is my navigator julia is at the bact taking care of jana sometimes both of them are messing around back there....
this is a picture of julia...she swan with the dolphins...priceless............julia really enjoyed the experience....
one of my happy moments................................................departure from manila



joaquin while having his surfing lessons....a fast learner....watched him do the surf and on his second try he was able to stand up on the board early....just an advice...now i know why surfers were rash guard shirts......whole front chest and abs of joaqs were sore after a day of surfing

















halloween's eve in downtown waikiki....the girls were zombies and javier as robin hood......check out their make up from the before and after look.....





also went to Pearl Harbor hawaii, got lost on the way there so lost some time of the day...when we reached the place..it was already lunch time and we could only take the uss missouri ship tour, and since the submarine only allowed kids 7 and up only so the 2 younger ones cant enter the submarine

here is our first day in honolulu hawaii, stayed at the ohana waikiki malia hotel...its about 3 blocks away from the beach...so we just changed and went walking in downtown hnl......


last october 30 we flew to honolulu, hawaii with the whole family for a 5 day vacation...here are some of the pics i took....first flew in to narita airport for a stop over there and the kids were having a blast going around narita airport...ate at a japanese fast food there and kids played in the playroom inside the airport.
