Even though we have been home for 5 days and there have been piles of mail and laundry, hundreds of email and phone calls to attend to, dust and duties I am still RELAXED.
15 days away is just about right.

Did I mention...

That Hawaii is BEAUTIFUL?
Or that we saw amazing botanicals?

Hibiscus flower

This looks like a yellow (which I have never seen before)
Hydrangea but the leaves aren't the same.

Does any one know what it is?

A Banyan tree that covers a park

OR
That we waited up past midnight in the COLD WIND to see an active Volcano

The night was black as pitch. You can imagine our emotions when we spotted this phenomenal natural wonder.....There it is! We would rather have been sleeping!

OR

We laughed at the towel creations made by our steward

This is a reptile about to strike at a darling little bird

Or that we made friends with a very nice Homosexual couple
This is Terry and Brian. We met them on our Kayak tour. Only 5 of us had signed up for this experience. In 3 two-man kayaks we traveled across a bay then into a river which took us to a lagoon with waterfalls, banyan trees and cliff jumpers. Terry was especially fun. He stalled their kayak under a fall SOAKING Brian. Craig didn't dare do that to me. We kayaked about 2miles or more! Another act of COURAGE on my part.

OR

That we played pool on a table that moves up and down to stay balanced as the ship moves with the waves

We challenged Dan and Cherrie to a game of pool. We won (no thanks to Me). Well, I did make 2 amazing shots in a row where the balls actually went in the pocket..but the next shot I barely hit the cue ball.

OR

That I had FUN!

Well, Let's get the record straight............
Craig+15 days+ Hawaii =
