One down and one to go!

This morning, I finished my necklace...it was a pattern that I have been wanting to try for a while...so, I am happy that I finally got to it and finished...especially since I dragged the "bead soup" all the way to Hawaii...



I am quite happy with the way it turned out. It has freshwater and Swarovski pearls, garnets, and lots of Swarovski crystals. LOVE IT!

Yesterday, Jordan and Neil participated in the Family Relay with their cousins...isn't Jordan cute? NOT! Neil's team won!



One last picture....our quiet lagoons and gone! Disney is building a timeshare/hotel. At least they are two lagoons away...



Heading out to town for the last dinner with the family. They leave tomorrow...the Nomura's have already boarded their plane and heading our way!

Having too much fun to Blog!

So, we are having a great time...so much fun, that I haven't had time to Blog...sorry!

We are all checked in at the Beach Club. I was worried that all of the construction fro. The Disney Resort would be loud...but so far, so good.

The new pool is awesome!

On Sunday, Leonard invited us to a Navy function on the USS Ronald Reagan...so, many naval officers from Chile, Canada, S. Korea, Japan, Singapore, and others...one of many hat check tables.


The event opened with the "elevators" lowering with a color guard and two jets...quite awesome!


We have been on the Reagan in San Diego when Len was assigned to it...but the hanger bay was empty...it was filled Sunday night with people, food tables and etc...it is still massive and amazing! Here is the Black Knight...


Oops...almost forgot to post this picture of all of us....


In front of a cake replica of the Ronald Reagan!


One last picture of the function....do you know who this is?


Yup, Jim Nabors! He is a supporter of the Navy and attends the naval functions often...that was fun...I used to watch Gmoer Pyle growing up...
