I love Hawaii. I love the weather, the people, the long walks on the beach, the snorkeling. It is just a very special place. Next time we are going to the Big Island for a few days to explore. It is the only one I have not visited and I can't wait. What a great way to connect with your family. I agree that getting to know your children as adults is illuminating. Fortunately for us we share political views, as well.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178290697351352495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356815487392618550.post-71632265363421511962011-12-16T16:44:16.703-08:002011-12-16T16:44:16.703-08:00It sounds exciting and a real comfort when winter ...It sounds exciting and a real comfort when winter blues hit you.<br />Happy Holidays.Rosaria Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133147851332084180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356815487392618550.post-91363765977976771622011-12-15T16:41:23.514-08:002011-12-15T16:41:23.514-08:00Hawaii...I was there 2 months ago and it feels lik...Hawaii...I was there 2 months ago and it feels like years. I enjoy the Big Island, especially around Hilo. It is so different from the touristy feel of Honolulu or even Lahaina.

Out fifth trip there usually combined with another island. We stay in Punaluu most of the time with a few days in Kona. Our trip was much like yours, lunch at Kilauea Lodge and eating in. Lots of time reading. But we had quite the adventure after visiting the volcano and then deciding to drive up Mauna Loa strip road. I posted about it here.<br />http://junkboattravels.blogspot.com/2011/11/mauna-loa-strip-road-adventure-big.htmlJackie McGuinnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15946085131678256211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356815487392618550.post-36154014693365337122011-12-15T08:04:59.743-08:002011-12-15T08:04:59.743-08:00Sounds like such great fun.

It's kind of a depressing movie, but if you've just been to Hawaii you might like it.
