Hawaiian Holidays

Aw after living in the "bread box", moving, a bitter winter, frozen pipes, below zero temps we took a jet plane to the Tropical Paradise aka Hawaii.  The first thing noticed besides all the green was the warm trade winds and light humidity.  I immediately noticed my cough disappeared, imagine that.  Mark was a little disappointed that there wasn't a hula girl to meet him and give him a flower lei.  I bursted his fantasy by telling him that they don't do that anymore, you know a thing called security and money. My favorite was the snorkeling, that was fun.  The fish were beautiful and the water warm.  We will return again, next time Maui and the Big Island.

 This is our picture highlights:
