Hawaii

In 1999 Glen and Donna decided to take all their children and their spouses to Hawaii.  I've tried to collect some memories and stories.  These are some of the comments I got.
  • John Purnell What an excellent trip! All 8 siblings went. Spouses too, minus David's and Kathy's. The only grandchild that went was Holly Purnell, since she was under 2. Polynesian Cultural Center (including the luau and night show) Temple, Dinner cruise (some got seasick after dinner and fed their dinner to the fish), dinner in a revolving restaurant atop a tall building, snorkeling, USS Arizona WWII memorial, Aloha stadium open air market, sunburns, etc. Great fun! Once in a lifetime memories! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for sharing this very special celebration with all of us!

  • Jennifer Griffiths Thanks Uncle John Purnell I love the info. Mom said there were sun burns from snorkeling. She said she was sore the whole last day and the trip home.

  • Jennifer Griffiths She also talked about going to the temple and the only session available was a Spanish session. Most of you had to the head phones with the English Translation. Some you like yourself only had to use them occasionally because you speak Portuguese and that is similar to Spanish.
  •  Sue Purnell Lords 2 more memories in addition to John's - We went in a mini submarine to see the turtles, and we ate at a luau where Mom & Dad were recognized for their 50th anniversary and they danced the waltz together on the stage.
  • Sue Purnell Lords Someone brought an electric frypan to use in the hotel to save money on food

  • Sue Purnell Lords The Sunday we were there, we went to a Ward of my friend Tina Price who was from there and I had known in Winnemucca. She and I made dinner for everyone at her house and took it to the hotel for Sunday dinner - so we wouldn't have to buy food on the Sabbath.

If anyone that went will please comment and tell about their memories of the trip I would greatly appreciate it. Where did you go? What did you do? What meant the most to you? What went wrong? What was you favorite place or activity? Any pictures?
