Thanks so much for dropping by to view my next Hawaii trip post.
We got to go to the luau and hula show when we were at the Hilton in Waikoloa.

Before everyone fixed their plates (buffet-style), the guys in charge of
roasting the pig got it out of the roasting pit and carried it by for everyone to see.

The food was amazing! I loved every bit of it, even the raw fish :)
(Of course, growing up in the islands could have something to do with the fact that I prefer this kind of food ;) )

The hula show started at sunset. I loved watching the girls (and guys)
who performed. They all looked like they were having so much fun!

Even the MC got to dress up~ he sang a very pretty song as this girl danced the hula (pictures in the reply below):

The next song told the story of two lovers who were separated~ you can probably follow the story from the pictures:

Now we got to see the champion hula dancer of Hawaii and Tahiti~ she danced the Hawaiian Wedding Song:

And finally, the fire dancer! He was really good, and was having a great time himself which made it even more fun:

(This was the same day as the post where I was wearing the lacey top, so you can see that my hairstyle lasted all day long
until that night. I really like my hairclips from my LHC friend in Europe!)

Thank you, everybody, for all the views and comments!
I'm so glad I could share these luau pictures with you.

THank you!

[gnome82]

Wow it looks like you have had such a fun time, I am happy for you :), your hair looked lovely :magic:, oh how I would like to set up my sister in law (unmarried) with a nice polynesian man :stirpot:

[piffyanne]

Now I want to go to Hawaii like everyone else, but I also want hair like yours. If I get mine down to your lovely lengths, I'll def. go there to celebrate!!

I sometimes wish LHCers could lend out their hair occasionally so others could see what it was like to have X type of hair for a day. :D

It looks too good on you though, I wouldn't have the heart to ask even if it was possible!!

Thanks for all the pictures, it was like I was watching the show!!:cheese:

[vanity_acefake]

That was so interesting. Your photos are amazing and your hair as ever looks beautiful.

[Lostsoule77]

That was gorgeous! Reminds me of the Maori show I saw in New Zealand. I'd forgotten all about that so thanks. ;)

[lapushka]

Amazing pictures, and I love your hairstyle! :)

[lis_sing]

Your hair bun looks awesome and your trip to hawaii seemed like so much fun! Thanks for sharing
