Pictures from Hawaii
Well, I haven’t had a chance to finish with the blog entries yet (editing is such sweet fun), but I do at least have the gallery of photos from our last Hawaii trip up for viewing. The full list will appear in the various blog entries.
Enjoy!
Timeshare Sales, Beach Day and Royal Kona Luau
Alex wanted a beach day. And beach day we had.
Well, once we sat through a rather lengthy time share sales pitch, anyway.
Aloha from Hawaii
Yeah, I know — why am I on a computer if I’m on vacation?
Relax, I have good reason. Our house is now effectively sold, and for whatever reason we’ve been unable to fax properly from Hawaii back to Calgary. Very odd, indeed. However, when you need to communicate with your realtor and faxes don’t work, you resort to whatever “official” form of communication they suggest. In this case, email.
Hence the computer. But given the trouble we’ve had, I’m sticking out for a few minutes to make sure it went through.
Down in South Kona
Ah, there’s nothing like waking up on a sunny day. Even better, there’s nothing like clean underwear.
After a hearty breakfast, we made an effort to do two things:
- Book a dinner cruise (they’re usually fun)
- Book a luau (same reason)
I got my bag back!
We slept last night with the sliding door to the balcony open (with the screen door closed) and the air conditioning off. A bit humid, but wow, does one feel better with fresh air in your lungs.
I honestly don’t think I’ve slept so well in … months.
How not to start a vacation
Oy. This vacation is not off to a good start.
One of the conditions of this vacation was that we were to incur no red-eye flights (in other words, no sleeping on the plane). That meant getting there and back was going to cause some difficulty in how we went from Calgary (a second-tier airport) to Kona (a second-to-third tier airport). Direct flight? Hah!
