I think that I could stay on a beach for 37 days!

That turtle pic is amazing! Also, I want to know how you found such a great room rate in Hawaii and whether you found the WWII memorials and Pearl Harbor worth the time and $$.

Ok, so I’m demanding as a reader. Oh well. But yes, your pics and your travelogues are already making me jealous and you’ve not left yet! What’s up with that!!!!

Hawaii was never all that high on my list either until I went (Oahu ‘98) and now I really want to go back. I just loved the culture and food and the whole laid back atmosphere. It really felt like being in an entirely different country. I don’t have any trouble laying around on the beach either, but I would love to see some of the other islands and the lava flows sound awesome (I’ve always wanted to see what it feels like too). And now that you’ve mentioned that you got better snorkeling away from Hanauma Bay I want to do that too!

I enjoyed the “Jeff got bumped from two flights” story, a cover-up, clearly, for the “Jeff was able to use NCAA-illegal frequent flyer miles from his days at Rice.” Good work, there.

As for me, I have no problem hanging out on the beach for more than 3.7 minutes. I could even do 37 minutes. In fact, 3.7 hours might be the perfect amount of “do nothing” time on the beach. It’s been 7-ish years since I tried, but I’m feeling good about my ability come May. My point being, I’d recommend remembering the “Don’t try to do too much” mantra come May, or I might have to take your vacation spreadsheet and send it out to sea in a bottle.

I knew you two went to Hawaii but for the life of me couldn’t recall any of the info about it until reading through it now. I didn’t realize it was only 3 months before the wedding. Locking the keys in a running car is nearly impossible to do…way to go Jeff. And please remember folks, if you drop anything in a lava flow…let it go, let it go.
