Pack and do errands on Saturday and then we're off to Hawaii. :D I'm getting very excited. We've locked on bike rentals for Monday. Tuesday we're doing a kayak/snorkel tour out to the Captain Cook Memorial. Wednesday is open. Maybe I'll get a sports massage at the resort spa. :p

Thursday we relocate to Volcano - lots of hiking and hopefully getting to see the lava flow. In spite of 3 previous trips to the Big Island, we haven't spent a lot of time in the Volcano area.

I hope the next three days just fly by.

Woot! Have a great time, and be sure to post pictures here or on your blog.

DH and I leave for a hiking trip to Southern Utah on the 23rd, so we're counting down the days, too. It cannot come soon enough.

Now THAT sounds like my kind of Hawaii trip. Awesome!

Definitely post pics and let us know when you do. I've never been to Hawaii (except the airport), so I'll have to live vicariously through you. :)

Have a blast!!

Hawaii is wonderful! Have a wonderful time.


We're counting down the last few days until our "in und um München" trip. In the middle of buying a house, it is really kookie timing.

OOOH, how fun. I went to Hawaii, the big Island, several years ago and it was absolutely wonderful. You definitely need to get a massage!

Sounds wonderful!!!!! Take lots of pics and share them with us when you return!!!

Do you have a break from school (year-round)?
We only have 6 weeks left of school then my summer fun begins!

This is our Spring Break. Ours is tied to Easter because of the classified staff contract, so it's really late this year. We have 7 weeks when we get back. My students are so in need of a break. The PE teacher gave them a 5 out of ten yesterday for their behavior. That was first thing in the morning. It didn't get any better as the day went on, unfortunately.

They are just constantly picking at each other right now. And the drama... :rolleyes:

It's a new day. Hopefully it will be better. I'm wearing my "Don't Be Mean" t shirt. :D

holy cow- that IS a late Spring Break!!!! We had ours 4 weeks ago- and that was too late. ;)
Usually the bickering/nagging/drama doesn't start until late April/early May, but this year the day we came back from Spring Break the kids were ready for summer. It's been a long 4 weeks, and will be an even longer 6 weeks to go. *sigh*
Best of luck to you, Ms. V!
I like your shirt- I need to get one!!:D


Have a great time in Hawaii- sounds dreamy!!!!

When I was on the Big Island, my brother and I stayed at the hotel at the park. He ordered escargot, and I guess there was some gas under the membrane of one of the snails and it exploded dramatically in the dining room!

For dessert, we had pie with crust made from macadamia nuts. YUM!

The Volcano is really cool! Literally and figuratively. Remember to take a jacket with you :D

Parts of the volcano are quite hot!
Don't take any rocks home either.
