breakfast was Denny's then we were picked up at the Sheraton Waikiki at 10:15am for our UTV adventure at Kualoa Ranch...

we had a look around the visitor's information area before our 2hr UTV tour which started at 1:30pm...was great fun...it started raining as we headed deeper into the valley and we (Tammie driving & me in the front passenger seat got soaked)...Tammie had great fun driving right through the middle of some deep puddles and splashing...our guide, Austin, was really cool too...we got back to Waikiki after 5:00pm with the traffic...

we had dinner at The Cheesecake Factory and saw a lot of different characters dressed up for Halloween...Jodie & Lisa headed to the shops while Tammie and I headed back to the room...thanks to Thomo, I had received the CJs results via FB - I put the results together for the usual email & FB update...

yesterday we got up early to catch a taxi to Diamond Head crater to do the walk before it got too hot and crowded...

took about 40mins to get to the top...after we checked out the view I got the surprise of my life when Tammie drew me to one side away from the crowds and proposed with a stunning white & yellow gold engagement ring...needless to say, I said YES!...

on our way back down we found two caches despite the growing numbers of people...

we had drinks at the bottom and spotted a couple of mongooses, so cool...

breakfast was at IHOP (International House of Pancakes)...Tammie & I headed back to the hotel while Jodie & Lisa went shopping...I followed the Barton lads on Twitter to see how they went (all four teams won)...later on I headed to Kapi'olani Park to take some photos of Diamond Head and ring mum & dad to tell them the news...

we headed out to Ross Dress for Less to do some shopping...Tammie was the big shopper, claiming she'd done her shopping for the next two years!

dinner was at PF Changs...

this morning I slept in so headed out for my run 3hrs later than planned paid for it with a sweat fest...

I ran along the canal and looped Queen Kapi'olani Park before heading back...
