Four Events in Four Days - Shake Your Luau Thing

Day 2 Aloha!
Natharbi was gracioulsy invited by Brent Miller the concierge of the Woodmark Hotel to attend their VIP luau. The Woodmark Hotel, Yacht Club & Spa is the only hotel located on the shores of Lake Washington and showcases shoreline views of the Seattle skyline and Olympic Mountains. The party planners ordered perfect weather for evening. The Woodmark view is utterly Hawaiian, paired with the balmy night...it was just like being in Hawaii sans the 5 hour plane ride. The guests were being entertained by authentic hula dancers. Being fashionably late, we missed letting lei'd.


Simultaneoulsy with finding some of our party group, Pam and Rochelle from Chat With Women, the dreaded audience interaction portion of the hula show set it. The reason they serve so many free mai-tais in Hawaii is so the tourists will hula! And so with a smile, Natharbi hula'd, shook our bums and wondered when the professional dancers were back on so we could scarf down some of the luau pork. We should have taken a photo of the view but that would have met risking getting close enough to the hula teacher for her to single one out.




Saved from hula lessons by the traffic was Darnell, Girl About Town and hubby Ray who joined our group for a some libation and sun after the hula show.


Sun, fun, mai tais and hula...can't get much better than that.
