Kristen & Shawn

Our easy to use, all terrain vehicle will take us on an adenture into Kauai's lush, tropical paradise!

We will tour through downtown Honolulu where we see Iolani Palace, the King Kamehameha statue, Chinatown and downtown. We will visit the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor and view a film detailing the events of December 7, 1941. Next, we will board the ferry to the USS Arizona Memorial where we'll get a glimpse into history like no other.

What’s a honeymoon in Oahu without surfing? Hans Hedemann, a professional surfer, joined the ASP (Association of Surfing Professionals) right after he graduated high school and has won many prestigious competitions. Placing first in The Billabong Pro in Australia and the Gunston 500 in South Africa, he was also the first professional surfer to win back-to-back ASP world events. We will learn the basics of surfing, ride some waves and hopefully our instructor has patience! With the cool sea breezes gently gracing our skin and the sparkling blue water’s brilliance supporting our feet, we’ll experience exhilaration, pure bliss and the true meaning of surfing!

Swinging from treetop to treetop through dense, tropical and lush rainforest is an adventure that we can't miss! It's fast, it's fun and it's a rush of adrenalin pumping through our veins as we zip from platform to platform with breathtaking views of one of the most beautiful places on earth. This will be an exhilarating experience!

With your wedding gift we can plan ahead and upgrade to a romantic honeymoon suite. Our suite will be just steps from the beach nestled amongst the magnificent lush, fragrant tropical gardens and framed with breathtaking ocean views. We will be pampered in style and comfort, leaving us with "suite" memories!

What could be better than knowing we'll have breakfast to enjoy between the sheets? We'll order eggs florentine, cinnamon rolls, freshly squeezed orange juice and hot coffee which all seem to taste better served to us in bed!

This luau is a Hawaiian experience that we cannot miss! Upon arrival, we will be greeted with the customary shell lei and watch the Royal Court procession arrive in a traditional outrigger canoe. We will feast on a menu of traditional Hawaiian cuisines and BBQ dishes, tropical fruit punch and Mai Tai's. The highlight of our honeymoon evening will be the spectacular Polynesian Revue with the dangerous and fascinating fire-knife dance under a blanket of stars!

We will start with our favorite delicacies at the sushi bar in our chosen Japanese restaurant. Then, enjoy the authentic Japanese dining room, where award-winning chefs skillfully twirl their knives through the air during the teppanyaki cooking show. We may even try a glass or two of hot sake.

We look forward to reserving an intimate candlelit dinner. We'll choose a quiet restaurant with a warm atmosphere, outstanding cuisine and impeccable service.

At our favorite Steak House, we'll reserve a table so we can tantalize our tastebuds! We'll choose from an array of prime aged steaks, chops, bone-In New York, filet mignon, double pork chops and racks of lamb. All choices are grilled the classic way juicy, tender, with the flavors developed fully. This is a sanctuary for us steak aficionados. Our mouths are watering just thinking about it.

With so many ice cream parlors in town, we'll try everything from hot fudge sundaes to soft serve ice cream and thick milkshakes. Who cares about the diet on our fantastic getaway!

What a great wedding gift! We'll travel in style with the top down on our convertible, enjoying the warm island breezes blowing gently on our faces.

It's just a quick flight to the exciting new experiences awaiting us on our island getaway.

Any help to get to and from our destination is a wonderful gift. We will be thanking you long after take off.

Thank you for allowing us to pre-plan our trip. It all goes towards having the ultimate getaway made possible by your generous registry gift.

We will experience the special indulgence of a couple's massage lying side-by-side being pampered with exotic oils that hydrate the skin, rejuvenate senses, and leave us refreshed and revitalized. We want to reserve our spa treatments early for this ultimate spa experience!

I will be pampered with a classic and gentle cleansing facial with wonderful aromatic ingredients, leaving my skin radiant and beautiful. No photos during the treatment allowed!

I will enjoy a gentleman's spa day. Relaxing in the spa being pampered with an invigorating massage and a soothing scalp treatment, then to complete my day at the spa a Gentleman's Nail Grooming. Who says a spa day is just for the girls?

We'll savor an exotic medley of fruit, hand-dipped individually into a rich and silky smooth chocolate to indulge while overlooking the spectacular views! Simply sweet bliss!
