We had to wake up super early to get to the south part of the island by 7am for our Molokini snorkel trip. Noelle was super excited. Eric, not so much. It was about a 5-hour trip on a boat with coffee and bagels for breakfast and BBQ chicken and chips for lunch. (we had begun to expect bad food on these excursions so it was okay) We opted for the snuba experience which, of course, cost extra but offered a version of scuba diving for the totally inexperienced. It's basically scuba diving, only the oxygen tank is shared with another diver and is floated on the surface in a small raft (snuba is also referred to as shallow water scuba diving). We shared our tank; however, each of us had our own hose and regulator for oxygen. It was a completely awesome experience. We'd both do it again in a hot second!!!
Here's some pictures of what we saw down there and what it looked like:
We got back to our hotel with half a day left in which we just lounged around the pool and then went to dinner at Lailahni's in Whaler's Village for the highly recommended fish tacos. Additionally, Noelle was able to enjoy more of her favorite mango pina coladas that she had discovered on day 2 of the trip.
Waiting for our table to be ready, we tried to get a sunset photo.
Peel Shrimp and Mango Pina Colada!!

That evening, as Noelle dreamed of sugar-plum fairies and colorful fishies, Eric "handled" a bottle of red wine that had been provided by the resort in recognition of their honeymoon. Had his cell-phone been within arm's distance at the time, many of his friends and family members would be receiving a collection of Time-Life's, "Singers and Songwriters of the 70's" CDs around the holidays.
