Aloha! First, I'ike to apologize for not blogging in quite a while. Life has been crazy busy but now, it's time to relax and enjoy. Gary and I are in Hawaii on the Stampin' Up! Incentive trip that I earned last year thanks to you! Thank you so much for your support!
(***We interupt this regularly scheduled blog for this important message from our sponser (me): Want to join Stampin' Up! and earn a trip like this too? Then join my wonderful team of demonstrators. We would love to have you be part of our great group! Details can be found here.***)
Now back to the blog...
Prior to the trip, SU sent us this cute travel clutch with all of the travel info. It's just too cute and I love it! Here it is closed...
And here it is open. Note the adorable luggage tags!
We flew into San Francisco on Friday night to spend a couple of nights with my best friend Liz and her husband Roger.
While there, we went to the Ferry Building Farmers Market and then took a tour of the city. One of the places we went to was Twin Peaks. Gary got this fantastic shot of the Golden Gate Bridge.
After that, we went back to their place to freshen up and go out to dinner. We went to this FABULOUS Mexican restaurant called La Pinata in Alameda. I highly recommend it!
Thanks for the hospitality guys!
Sunday morning, we boarded the plane for Hawaii's Big Island. We arrived around 11 AM. The weather was perfect! We rented a car and headed for the resort - The Hilton Waikoloa Village. WOW! Is this place ever beautiful!
We checked in and even our room keys have the Stampin' Up! Hawaii trip on them! Gotta love it!
We're in the Palace Tower. Here are a couple of pics:
Yesterday, we had breakfast then attended General Session. We saw some sneak peaks, but aren't allowed to post anything about it. Just trust me when I tell you this, you're gonna love them!
Here are some pics of happenings of the day:
Gary & Jeannette Swain, Claudia & Robert Perry at Breakfast
Robin Merriman, Me & Claudia Perry
Lunch at Fish Hopper in Kona. Beautiful food!
We ventured out to meet Claudia and Robert for a cocktail but right before we did, we had these delivered to our room!
Don't you just love gifts!?!
Last, but not least, this was left on the pillow:
That's all for now.
Until the next post,
Stamp happy!
Jeannette
looks like you're having a great time GF!
