ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

LAST WEEKEND WAS ANOTHER FUN WEEKEND IN ANCHORAGE AND SEWARD!!!

I GOT OFF WORK FRIDAY MORNING AT 8:00AM, HEADED HOME AND STARTED PACKING MY BAGS, WOKE UP KAHEALANI AND SHE HIT THE SHOWERS AND WE WERE OUT THE DOOR HEADIN G TO ALASKA AIRLINES, FLYING INTO ANCHORAGE!!!

AS SOON AS WE LANDED, WE PICKED UP OUR RENTAL CAR, WENT STRAIGHT TO COSTCO SO KAHEALANI CAN PICK HER JUNK FOODS FOR THE SUMMER...  LOL!!!  WE SPENT LITTLE OVER $200.00 AND WE LOADED THE CAR AND SHIPPED OUT OF ALASKA AIRLINES CARGO.  MY COUSIN, KA'IWA DROPPED OFF KAHEALANI TO SHAUN & BRENDA'S WHILE I HEADED OVER TO AB.HAIR STUDIO FOR A HAIRCUT.  AFTER I GOT TURNED INTO A HANDSOME PANCAKE EATING HAWAIIAN, I CHECKED IN MY HOTEL AND THEN HEADED OVER TO MY NEPHEW, KEKOA'S BIRTHDAY CAKE & ICE CREAM PARTY!!!

AND THE PARTY HAS STARTED!!!

MY FAVORITE PART OF THE NIGHT!!!

DANCING WITH MY KAHEALANI TO "TENNESSEE WHISKEY".

THE LAST TIME I DANCED WITH KAHEALANI WAS SEVERAL YEARS AGO DURING CHRISTMAS BREAK AND WE DANCED TO THE "CHRISTMAS WALTZ", MAN IT JUST BROUGHT FOND MEMORIES OF GOOD TIMES BETWEEN A FATHER AND HIS DAUGHTER.

I WANT TO GIVE A HUGE ALOHA AND MAHALO TO EVERYONE THAT MADE THIS AMAZING GRADUATION PARTY A SUCCESSFUL AND A MEMORABLE ONE FOR ME AND KAHEALANI TO REMEMBER FOREVER.

WE ARE SO BLESSED TO HAVE WONDERFUL PEOPLE LIKE ALL OF YOU IN OUR LIVES...

THE MORIARTYS, THE PACARROS, THE NOGAS, THE KAHELES, THE FREITAS, THE LEADERS, THE GUAM OHANA, THE H3 OHANA, AND MANY OTHERS.

MAHALO NUI LOA FOR HAVING US.  WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS WONDERFUL DAY WITH OHANA & FRIENDS!!!

AFTER THE NIGHT WAS OVER, KAHEALANI AND I WAS SUPER EXHAUSTED AND WE WENT STRAIGHT TO OUR HOTEL AND CRASHED IN OUR BEDS.

WE WOKE AT 3:30AM AND HEADING BACK TO ANCHORAGE ALONG WITH A FRIEND, NEELA WHO ALSO NEEDED A RIDE TO THE ANCHORAGE AIRPORT BECAUSE SHE IS HEADING BACK TO GERMANY AND WE ARE HEADING BACK TO BETHEL.

ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DRIVE WHILE THE GIRLS SLEPT THROUGH THE ENTIRE DRIVE, BUT NOT ME, I PUT ON MY HAWAIIAN PLAYLIST AND ENJOYED MY BEAUTIFUL DRIVE BACK WATCHING THE SUNRISE AND THE BEAUTIFUL SNOW CAPPED MOUNTAINS SHINING EVER SO BEAUTIFUL!!!

WE ARRIVED SAFELY AT THE AIRPORT, WE SAID OUR GOODBYES TO NEELA AND PARTED WAYS.

POOR KAHEALANI WAS SO TIRED AND SHE STILL MANAGED TO GET HER GREEN TEA LATTE BEFORE BOARDING OUR PLANE BACK TO BETHEL.

MY AWESOME WEEKEND!!!

LIVE PONO & ALOHA!!!
