Being able to return to this place, this place of surreal sunsets, and Trade Winds, brings feelings like no others. We first went to Hawaii many years ago, and from that first time I felt like I was home. I have to wonder who I was in a previous life. But here I go again, here we go again, the husband and I, for an idyllic week of peace and tranquility. For the first time ever we will not stay in a hotel, but have rented a studio apartment through VRBO/Home Away. What a wonderful change of pace this will be, and to feel a little bit more of the local vibe.
Rest, and photography (which I’ve sorely neglected during the last several months) are top on my list…in fact they are the only things on my list. Not a lot of sightseeing to be done, we’ve pretty much seen it all; after all, it’s like home.
I’ll be back in a little over a week; until then….Aloha.

Enjoy the re-energizing of relaxation. I love time off from electronics and media. It helps to bring into focus what is important and we learn to appreciate what is right before our eyes but have been missing. Have a peaceful time … Aloha

Thanks, M. I unpacked the last couple of boxes today that had art work, so I’ve reached my goal of all boxes out of the place by the time we left for Hawaii! I think we will enjoy the studio apartment life there.
