Aloha, Paradise

Today is our last day in Hawai'i. Our flight leaves about 9:30 tonight, so we actually do have a full day here.

This morning, Steve and the boys headed to the beach for one last splash. The boys chose Hapuna, so that's where they went.

I stayed home to pack our 300 pounds of luggage. (You think I exaggerate? Not by much. I'm sure it's over 200 pounds, easily.) I also stopped by Kona Scrapbook to pick up some beautiful papers I've had my eye on since I first arrived. (Please don't ask me how my scrapbook is going. I'll tell you when it's done!)

For lunch, we made our last visit to Quinn's (home of the awesome ono and chips). Now it's time for the last-minute stuff--washing swimsuits, stuffing bottles of Jack & Pineapple Rum into my suitcase, making sure we don't accidentally bring home a gecko.

It's hard to believe that, by this time tomorrow (whatever that means), we'll be back at our real home in Colorado, and this trip will be a memory.

I'm planning to upload all of my photos (not just the ones deemed "blog worthy") to Kodak Gallery once I return. If you want to see them, please let me know and I'll send you the link.

This will probably be my last post to this blog. Mahalo for sticking with us. I hope you've enjoyed hearing about our trip (or that you quit reading weeks ago if you didn't!).

Aloha!

I know the feeling. The good news, however, is that the vacation "hangover" goes away much faster when coming home to Colorado :) Our last day in Hawaii, the souvenir vendor told us about his vacation to Colorado he just got back from. One thing to look forward too, no more humidity! towels and swimsuits actually dry again! woohoo!
