Aloha!



*sigh* I just spent a week on the beautiful Big Island, Hawaii. Do I really have to go home? The weather, the beaches, the smells, the people... all so gorgeous and habit-forming. Maybe I could swing another week here if I say I need to go to rehab for my addiction. Or is that like attending AA meetings in a bar?

Our favorite spot was Hapuna Beach where we spent nearly every day swimming. We also hiked the crater of the Kilauea Volcano. And then there was the shopping, where I bought these...my new favorite shoe.



Here's Anthony taking a sip from the Akaka Falls:



Here I am hiking in the crater:



I loved the unfolding ferns:



And a little colorful gecko:



It was a lovely trip, but back to reality I go. Aloha...
