more plane tickets. more airports. more dreaming and flying, eavesdropping and people watching. I can't get enough. what now? how long will I have to wait for my next fix?
my ten days unplugged from the mainland were lovely. Hawaii treated us pretty well; sparing a few scrapes from the lava rock and a few hours of scorching sun, every moment was like a wonderful dream. snorkeling, kayaking, swimming, hiking, shopping, dancing, playing in the sand. it was so good.
I learned all about Captain James Cook, and that the Hawaiian alphabet only has 12 letters, and the names of several tropical flowers. I have a magnificent sunburn. it is currently peeling itself away into what will hopefully remain an alright-looking tan.
this is the cute ukulele I picked up for my cute nephew, who with any luck at all will turn into just the same sort of musical genius his mother is. he will be a born entertainer just as soon as he figures out how to pluck out
Mary Had a Little Lamb, right?
this is the sundress I decided I loved. I also acquired a pair of flip flops, a neat pattern of henna across my ankle, and a handful of coral and shells. there is a lot of sand in my suitcase. this beats melted chocolate. still, all the memories are fading already. I find myself sighing anxiously, wishing and longing for more of this beautiful thing called travel.
at least I have lots of photographs. the rest of them, including my extra few days on Oahu, can be seen
over here.

Lovely photos. Do you have any of your cousin and/or his wife?
in second grade james cook was one of my heroes :P
james cook was way awesome. the spot where he was killed is actually british territory now, isn't that interesting?
I think I did take one photo of Tyler on our hike...but it's not a very good one. I'm not very good at remembering to take pictures of people...
It looks like you had a beautiful trip. Who did you go with? Did you just go to Oahu, or some other islands too? Sometimes I wonder why I live here and not there. But it probably wouldn't be the same if you lived there.
I heart that you FINALLY bought something. I need people to justify me in my spending....which I did more than I expected and still came home with less than I thought.
oh and my legs are still peeling too. boo.
julie-- I spent just a few days on Oahu with my cousin and his wife, and then the rest of the week with a group of friends on the big island.
elsie, how's your henna holding up? all the EFY kids noticed mine on thursday... pretty funny...
ha ha. awesome. The design down my arm is completely gone. The stuff on my hand is going strong though. But my favorite part was the design down my arm.
How is EFY treating you? You should call me some night when you aren't running after all those hooligans.
