Journey 9 years ago welcome to Hawaii
our time in Paradise is continuing after
a three-part series exploring the Cook
Islands and now we are here on the
island of aahu for a very special reason
but before we get to that as always we
have an adventure to tackle we're
crossing the International Date Line
twice in the next 48 hours we went
backwards to go forwards at the end of
the day once it's done it's done a what
a nice way to see it all it's so
beautiful a this is so nice this is like
the best shave I I've ever had I love
when you when you're in Hawaii and you
just hear the RO the about it's so
special to be back here once again
you're in
[Music]
Hawaii
this is by far the earliest we've woken
up here in the Cook Islands and we
haven't had a single Sunset of course
cuz it is the wet season but sunrises is
where it's at at the moment so beautiful
pinks lavender color but we got to head
to the airport it's so beautiful okay I
have a riddle for you guys you ready you
have coffee on a Tuesday morning 6 hours
you're having lunch on a Wednesday and
then you live your Thursday all day you
go to bed at night on Thursday you sleep
for 9 hours and you wake up to Thursday
morning who am
I someone flying from the cook Island to
Australia then all the way to
Hawaii okaya we're crossing the
International Date Line twice in the
next 48 hours going back a day losing a
day going forward time is complicated
we've honestly loved our time here in
the Cook Islands the locals are so
welcoming to families and it honestly
feels sad saying goodbye after spending
an incredible 9 days here taking in the
island
[Music]
life so we now saying goodbye to one
beautiful island to head to our big
island in Australia we leaving at 9 a.m.
on a Tuesday and we are somehow arriving
at midday on a Wednesday and it's a 6our
this International Gate line is so
confusing I like how she is sorted for
travel now we're starting at square one
with this one he
good
[Music]
welcome back to Australia mate we did it
quick flight but also the world's we
know
we doesn't believe us that syney is in
Australia still learning the cities and
the countries huh
Sydney you guys been keeping track what
is this dodgy never again never again n
we decided not to
walk good and then quickly pull it out
yes let's go check it out do you have a
view of the hot
Donald's
B one one for me and three
CHS what's the
view it is 4:50 in the morning which on
paper sounds bad but we're trying to
stay into this Hawaii time Z cuz we are
going to be crossing the international
border again yeah buy did you
[Music]
s wait from get some some
space when you say space sitting on me
we all need some space
babybody hi what about you Mom oh
hi
[Music]
say
ready for it yeah I'm ready for it 9
hours I always feel like a crazy person
walk around in the airport we just must
B how are we going to do it I'll just
with Steven being like you know when we
get a UR next we should do uril and
Steven's like how would we possibly do
uril when we've got this like you
imagine us trying to get onto a German
train and I was imagining like us right
everything's on the train and it's like
in 30 seconds the Train's leaving you
have to try and Chuck everything out the
train he was right maybe no train travel
until we can start ditching the prams
and the baby bed cuz it look so much cuz
it's pram pram baby bed that's what's
adding it all righty I'm going to jump
in here before you guys po the comment
in yes we know you can fly from Cook
Islands directly to Hawaii which cuts
down almost half the trip however one
that flight only operates on a Sunday
and it was Monday when we left so we
would have had to pretty much
accommodate for an entire extra week in
the Cook Islands and two it also means
we could book our turn flights in and
out of Hawaii which generally it's
cheaper to book it in and out so yes I
realized we went backwards to go
forwards but that's our
reasoning thanks to jet star having
affordable and direct routes in and out
of Australia to Hawaii it makes it so
easy for us to head to the US
hi also because we like changed his
fight last minute we're not sitting next
to together which I think is the
first
still we get there
oh think I've slept so hard to complain
literally about
Land close up okay bye bagage

bigger than Cook Islands I'm not like a

Lagoon you did see a big yellow ducky

a laugh of the island now for warning if

for us we want to come here and visit
some of our favorite places has been
about 3 years since we last in Hawaii so
we're going to try our best to see our
favorite places and give you guys some
new places at the same time but comment
below if you can guess where we're going
to head to First
so day on who cannot start unless you go
get an Asal from our favorite place he
was called the sunrise shack up in the
North Shore so you cannot wait last time
I had an asaio here Hunter was one
Hunter do you remember the asyo here oh
yeah yeah yeah and
get clean me up and then
Daddy I just showed her a picture that's
why she could remember it I was like do
you remember this she's like yeah I
remember I'm like are you sure you were
one she's like yeah yeah yeah I
remember
[Music]
yeah okay there's some sad news they
didn't have the original s bowl
available it is so good though by the
way so if you do come here order that
but it means that it's making us try
something new so we're trying the
tropical so I think instead of a sa it's
mango and pineapple and banana oh co was
first a saai what do you think do he
seem to like it uhoh oh he does Bo hands
are okay he's going to probably eat all
the pineapple off the of this well I
need to get some of this
granola I love when you when you're in
Hawaii and you just hear the roosters in
the
background oh yeah I think the whole
family's giving it a thumbs up what are
you dad ready compared to the uh thumbs
up your thumbs uping it's kind of nice
cuz it's something different but I still
the OG with peanut butter is the best M
so this tropical blend is mango
pineapple coconut cream banana and
that's what's going to make the aai and
of course we have toppings of coconut
flakes pineapple granola T sauce also
ice
cream ice
cream first of all how incredible is
that backdrop Hawaii we love you the fan
band have been gracious enough to give
me the rest of the asai bowl after they
demolished all the toppings I think I
have like a little bit of
coconut also one kind of sad thing they
got rid of all their seating maybe
mixing things up but at least there's a
couple of trees St I'm to sit on Daddy
look at my to I like your
[Music]
Tower where you
