Our arrival to Angel and Duke's home it was late at night ... the welcoming committee of their dogs - Coconut, Abby and Maheea (not sure I've spelled that right) was so welcoming as Angel emailed me that they both would be at work when we arrived (communication with Angel is EXCELLENT!!!)

The gang are the sweetest dogs you will meet ... and their owners are AWESOME people. Angel, Duke and young Jade are the perfect hosts with the Aloha Spirit ... you could not feel more welcome ... it was like being welcomed home when we caught up the following day.

The studio apartment is perfect ... lots of hanging space for your clothes, a lovely little lounge to relax on, a nice big shower, full size cooking facilities/fridge and if you need anything for the beach just let them know because they have everything available for your use ... you honestly can't fault the facilities.

If you love to BBQ make sure you let Duke know ... his eyes will light up!! We were honored to share dinner with them one night where we sat in the lanai, shared meals and chatted for hours, shared stories and had a few sneaky drinks ... Duke introduced us to the local poke, which was devine - my hubby didn't like it but that's ok :)

We really thank Duke & Angel for allowing us to stay in their studio ... we have found great friends in Hawaii which we will go back to see sometime in the future.

Thanks again for showing us your Hawaiian Hospitality ... theirs nothing like it!!! See you guys soon.

Lots of Aloha
Ray & Rhonda Ford xoxo

PS: Congrats Duke on Denver's win in the Superbowl ... GO THE BRONCOS!!!
