Come back....come back....COME BACK!

That's an exact quote from my airplane trip home. Did I cry? Only for an hour as I left and during the whole landing process as I watched California come into view. Hawaii was heaven. For one brief week, I was an angel. And then I (thank heavens not literally) crashed back to the not-so-divine Los Angeles.

I miss paradise.

Here's a small taste of it for y'all....





By the way - that's my splash as I jumped into the pool....I also went parasailing, snorkeling, and fell in a stream. All just a pretty typical vacation day for me, really.
Missing from all of this is the underwater camera shots - sea turtles, dolphins, unimaginably huge fish, and me flying 400 feet above the water under a parasail....it was unbelievably awesome - in the true meaning of the word.
However, if adventure ain't your thang like it be mine...there was plenty of culture, too:





In closing,don't be surprised if I go missing one day and suddenly show up in a trendy organic cafe with wireless Internet on the North Shore of Hawaii. I could really get used to going barefoot, being tan, and knowing several sea turtles on a first name basis.

COME BACK! TAKE ME BACK! I WANNA GO HOME!!

You're back! I was actually just here, and was coming here for a link to Wendela's blog and lookit! You're back!

What pretty pictures. Is that you? Why do you look blonde? And did you get a tattoo?? I'm so in awe by all the prettiness in this post right now.

Welcome home!

I thought you were going to say that it was you surfing. I would have been very impressed. Nonetheless, the pictures look great! Glad you had a good time.

You have been bitten by the bug... once you have been to Hawaii you always want to go back, you can't imagine not living there, and you say words like "da kine" and "mahalo" freely in conversation.

Next time let's go together.

1) I am jealous. I want a vacation. And I want to go parasailing.

2) That splash by the waterfall? My own personal idea of "perfect".

I must say.... it was interesting to see that you took a picture of me while you were on vacation. I am going to school here in Hawaii and I work at the night show. I am glad you had a good time while you were in Hawaii.

Oh my - thanks everyone - and I'm embarrassed by Heman - I suppose I should have gotten publishing release forms from all the dancers...
