[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 171794, member: 3444"] 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: [LIST] [*]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.[/LIST] There were many, many glorious moments. Too many to list. 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. [/QUOTE]
