Hawaii 2006

The Hawaii trip was really great and MKD and I got to do more touristy things than last year. Plus, not only did we stay longer, but we stayed at a nicer hotel. To give you an idea, here is the view from our balcony overlooking Waikiki:

We got to visit the aquarium:

The Botanical Gardens:

Go snorkeling at Hanauma Bay:

And eat at our favorite local shack (complete with Shave Ice) off the side of the road:

Oh and there were so many lizards and geckos everywhere!
This one crawled right on my sister and I now refer to her as “The Lizard Whisperer.”

I think I am still jet lagged and I loathe being at work. Plus, the weather here is shitty compared to what we were spoiled with. Thunderstorms for a week? That is just unacceptable.

I be out

I’ve been slacking on the blogging, I know. But really, the only things of note that have occurred in recent memory are that my computer died at work from unknown causes, and I almost caught the apartment on fire. See? Nothing has been happening.

But the real reason for this post is to let everyone know that I will have a valid excuse for not blogging for a couple of weeks. I will be in Hawaii! Granted there will be a lot of family stuff and funerals (main reason we are going). But the trip was paid for by my lovely parents, which totally rocks.

The dog has left the apartment to be watched by MKD’s family, and the cat and the gecko will remain in the apartment. I will miss all my babies terribly and leave them in friends’ good care.

I will catch up with life in the fast lane and everyone’s blogs when I return to the mainland. In the meantime, I bid you all adieu!
