Back from Hawaii
This morning I returned from my brief trip to Oahu, Hawaii. Despite the torturous travel time (25 hours total), a scary incident on the airplane, and a few too many rainy days, visiting this island was definitely worth it. I put together some photos that you can look at if you wish.
http://www.4dots.com/hawaii/ I'd also like to take the time to thank everyone here at Mobileread for running the show so well without me. In fact, some of you - Bob, do you listen? - did such a great job that I am now considering early retirement. Also my best regards to Sammy of Palm Addicts for his continuous support of our site. Thank you guys!! |

Glad to see you had a great time, Alex. A nice holiday can do a lot to recharge the batteries
Welcome back! |

Sounds like a wonderful trip for the middle of winter. That jungle was amazing, especially considering it was just moments from town. Must have been a national park of some kind? But I can't even imagine the shock to the system to come back to all that snow.
I'm so very glad to have you back home. No retirement allowed! Oh yeah... and we're on the edge of our seats waiting to hear about the "scary incident!" |

Let me tell you, it did so not sound and feel like what you know when the landing gear is lowered usually before a final landing. |

Looks like it was a great vacation. Quite a difference from Hawaii now with the snow.

Glad you had pilots that were NOT clueless!!!
Yep, that's the jungle pic I meant. Can you even begin to imagine how much that land is worth!? I'm glad they keep it as a preserve. |

It's a preserve, but some wealthy 900 residents (like the Dillinghams, Wilders and Castles) live in this mountain-top neighborhood -> The temptation of Tantalus hard to resist, Tantalus photographs.

Back to reality with the weather, what a bummer.... at least things will be warming up for you soon, Alex (and the rest of you northerners )... I can feel winter coming in my bones...

Exactly! It's March, shouldn't we deserve something better than snow everywhere?
