Sending Sunshine Greetings!

I am hearing it is very cold in your neck of the woods, Oregon and Washington peoples! I bet we missed the first snow fall at our house. Well I can't say that I am sorry to have missed it!
Well on day 3 we decided we would catch some of the sights around the Island. It takes very long to get around this Island, it is actually fairly large. We headed North as far as we could go along the coast line, along the route we watched the landscape change from desert like to lush green tropical vegetation. The road was very curvy and narrow, with lots of one lane bridges. At the end of the road was this beautiful view.





























So we decided to keep the road tour going and head inland a bit, after a climb up to 1500 feet elevation, Allyson started acting like she was going to get sick, so we decided we better turn around. We headed back toward our resort and before we could make it home she got VERY SICK! Poor thing, but the very first thing she said after losing her breakfast was - CRACKERS - she was ready to eat?! So we have decided that we will not be able to make it to the volcano or do anymore site seeing, because all the roads are curvy, and I just don't want to risk her getting car sick again. Which I have to say I am not disappointed, bring on the tan time!

Last night we went to a Luau called the Rise of Kings. It was the story of the Polynesian Islands and honoring the Kings of the various islands. It was a great show. We had front row seats! Allyson feel asleep about a 1/2 hour into the show. Here are a few photos from the show.





Yes, I got on the stage with Allyson! She thought it was great to be on stage, but she was more interested in playing with the little baby that was up there! OK, so today, I have a friend that is coming to spend the day with us. She lives here and is bringing her two kids down to spend the day with us. I use to work with her about 16 years ago when I lived in Seattle! She found me on facebook and when she saw we were coming she contacted me! She is a kick in the pants, so should be much fun!

Aloha friends!

Have a wonderful trip.
