Aloha!

I full-heartedly went on vacation and am barely back to normal life statuses. If I continue to wait and post a summary of our vacation, then you will never hear from me again. The best I can do is direct you to my flick'r page where there are over 690 photos/videos. You will get a good idea of our trip and feel free to ask me questions about it. We spent 4 days on the volcano side in a wonderful B&B (living next door to "Wallace & Gromit"), hiking, driving, exploring and visiting with some local connections were were put into touch with [see C's blog]. The last 3 days were blissfuly spent at a Waikoloa-Kona resort where we pampered ourselves, played, read, snorkled and just had a really relaxing vacation together.

Now we want a Jeep since we fully enjoyed putting over 800 miles on our rental. It is a wonderful combination of convertible and 4-wheel drive...rockin' awesome. Also a revision on our life's to-do list is kids; hell...when it happens, it happens. Until then, we are looking forward to being DINKs for once in our marriage. Pamper ourselves a bit more. On my wish list is a stamp in my passport--my goal is Japan.
