Hi everyone!
Well, now it's official.....i'm Mrs. D!!!! the wedding was a blast. all of my vendors were fabulous....carlyle, all star limo, jovon photography, mia from bl, flower michele, my band gramercy park..... carlyle went above and beyond and never had me worried about a thing. the food that i ate was excellent...especially dessert, yum! more to come on all the vendors in my review. but anyone who is using any of these has nothing to worry about. the weather was perfect!! i couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day.
hawaii was amazing. we visited 3 islands - kauai, maui, and oahu - in that order. we stayed in kauai for 4 nights, maui for 6, and oahu for 2. i didn't really care for oahu - too crowed and city like. but kauai and maui were AMAZING! we stayed at the hyatt on all 3 islands and it was beautiful. the resort in kauai is breathtaking and was very hard to leave! below are some pics...
KAUAI
we took a boat trip of the na pail coast in kauai. it's a must do if you go. we were on a small boat that was able to go into all the caves - so cool!! we also snorkeled there and saw some amazing things!!

pic of spinner dolphins taken from the boat - we saw about 100 of them swimming together!
MAUI
beautiful sunset pic taken from the beach of our hotel
we went to a luau at our hotel which featured dance from all the polynesian islands. the fire dancing part was so cool!
on the road to hana, we stopped and hiked down to the bottom of this beautiful pool with 3 waterfalls, called 3 bears. you can't see the 3rd waterfall in this pic, but it was so pretty!
we woke up very early one morning to drive up to the top of a 10,000 foot volcano Haleakala to watch the sunrise. it was so worth it...it was gorgeous! that's a layer of clouds in the middle of the pic!
i love sea turtles!! how cute is this little baby!! we saw about 6 adult turtles on kauai also!
here's a pic of us after our lei greeting on the last island - oahu.
