Fabulous post! I can certainly understand how hard it is to get away with so many pets, but Hawaii is definitely a worthwhile destination if you ever decide to go. There's still plenty of Tiki influence, plus the place is gorgeous away from the tourist traps!

ReplyDeleteVintage Hawaii is really cool. Every time mom goes she looks for pictures

Sounds like a great reason for a time machine.
ReplyDeleteFabulously fun travel post!!! It's cool that we both Hawaii on the brain this spring (last month's vintage honeymoon post was devoted to this timeless tropical paradise). I've never been before - fingers crossed it happens one day (likewise if you do want to go).

I totally agree with you, but at this point is settle for a modern day Hawaiian vacation, too, and just bring the vintage with me. A girl can dream.
ReplyDeleteWe don't get to go anywhere very often, but for other reasons, like money and having babies.

Those are such lovely images of Hawaii! The coconut purse is adorable!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post! :) Make sure you come over and enter to win a year's supply of Merrick dog food!
ReplyDeleteLove all your Hawiian pictures. The halter top dress is so nice!

The hotel looks like it would have been well worth a visit.
ReplyDeleteThe shirt reminds me of a tale a colleague once told, of when he met a man in Hawaiian shirt, shorts and sandals, exiting Aberdeen airport in a snowstorm in February. My friend flippantly said to the unfortunate traveller: "I think you've come to the wrong country", only to be greeted with a glare as chilly as the weather and the terse response: "No, I don't think so".
Cheers! Gail.
LOVE the purse!!
ReplyDeleteI, too, have four pugs and four cats and no ability to travel financially...and a homebody to boot. :)

What a fabulous idea travelling somewhere but back in time. Gosh that is food for thought and now we are thinking where and when? Have a tremendous Thursday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
The Tiki themed hotel looks super interesting!!!! I am with you on the no travelling thing. 3 huskies and 3 kitties don't allow to much of that! But that is the choice we make for sure, and i'm ok with that as well! Great pictures and interesting post!
ReplyDeleteღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
It would be great to visit Hawaii one day. I may have to settle for tiki torches in my yard for now. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteI can't even imagine what it would be like to try and leave that many pets. I have a hard enough time leaving my two! Hawaii would be a wonderful place to visit though :)
ReplyDeleteOh what fun ... just what I needed! A vacation ...
ReplyDeleteI agree ... with five pugs - I'm not going anywhere unless I can take them with me! So we have some tiki torches in our backyard, along with some tiki lights and even a coconut shell candle!

How very tropical! :) By the way, your coconut purse is extremely cute!
