Hawaii Vacation 2013 Day 1 1/2

So this was a busy trip to Hawaii, so I'll take things about one day at a time.

Flying Allegiant: Good or Bad? Yes, it is cheaper, but you may also spend 2 hours in the plane just to be diverted to Las Vegas for an all together different 3 hour tour. Broken engines take a while to fix so we waited for our new plane to arrive from Canada. So what do you do in Vegas with an $8 voucher for food?
Buy a $5 Cinnabon and $3 water of course. Yum! Haven't had one of these in years.

We did arrive in Honolulu, eventually, and got situated in our hotel. We only stayed one night there. (Good thing since we probably would have missed our connection if we hadn't)
We were upgraded to a deluxe room with an ocean view. 
There actually was an ocean view, in the distance. We could see the cruise ships come into port too.  

The next morning we rented a car and went to the Laie Temple.  Here I am in front of the temple. 

The grounds are so beautiful, full of flowers and plants.

You can see all the way to the ocean from the front door. See it in the background:
After the temple we went for a drive through lush greenery and then, to the swap meet at the Aloha Stadium in Honolulu. Probably the best swap meet around. You could spend hours walking through it. 
We then hopped a plane and set off for Maui. That plane was on time, maybe even early. Hooray for Hawaiian!
