Here we go again!
So we are back from Hawaii and yes it is a beautiful, wonderful place. It's important for me to remember that, and that I got to:
But I'm glad to be back.
Stay tuned for the sequel: 100 ways difficult child's, a husband, and inlaws can make Hawaii feel like Hell.
- snorkel with an amazing array of colorful fish, eels, sea urchins, spanish dancers, and other creatures,
- watch fish gather around me like pigeons to eat frozen peas,
- swim with green sea turtles,
- kayak up a beautiful tropical river,
- hike through a jungle to a secret waterfall,
- fall asleep to the sound of waves,
- wake to the sound of tropical birds,
- watch the sun rise over the Pacific ocean,
- watch the sun set over the Pacific ocean,
- marvel at the grand canyon of the Pacific,
- glimpse mongooses (geese?) as they scurried across the road,
- watch my kids hike across a sleeping volcanic crater,
- see a Massive (that's with a capital M) plume of steam as lava flowed into the ocean,
- watch superheated gases and smoke pour out of a live volcano,
- walk through an old lava tube,
- walk through a forest of lava trees,
- see the ocean erupt like a geyser out of a seaside lava tube,
- see wild goats, a Hawaiian owl and a Hawaiian hawk on the roadside,
- watch geckos and anoles search for bugs at night,
- smash cockroaches and feed them to pond fish at night,
- eat the freshest fish, tropical fruit, chocolate covered macadamia nuts, and pure Kona coffee every day (if I really wanted to),
- watch my kids revel in catching frogs at night and feeding feral chickens by day,
- smell the heavenly scent of white ginger, plumeria and other amazing flowers,
- see wild orchids, papaya, banana, and mango growing by the side of the road,
- and sleep in just about every day.
But I'm glad to be back.
Stay tuned for the sequel: 100 ways difficult child's, a husband, and inlaws can make Hawaii feel like Hell.
