Rain Rain Go Away

After managing a couple hours at Ko Olina on Friday under overcast skies, it began to rain again in the evening. We've had torrential down pours off and on since Joey arrived. Yesterday, Ron and Joey headed out and climbed Diamond Head Crater but had to forgo Hanauma Bay because of looming storm clouds. It proceeded to monsoon and rained steadily into last night.
Late this morning we headed to Kailua and stopped to view Hanauma Bay. After being stuck in traffic for over 2 hours (Honolulu marathon we didn't know was still going) and bypassing all the big surf beaches, we made it to Kailua just in time for another bout of torrential rain. Yeah, Hawaii! Needless to say, today was another bust. Our fingers are crossed that we can at least enjoy Joey's last day tomorrow with some semblance of a tropical island. Here are some pics of the surfer beaches (and the short-lived good weather)as we continued on our quest to Kailua... We did brave the rain and managed to drag Uncle Joey to Lukas' birthday party last night:
