an enjoyable time...

we had a very eventful flight over...dog barking/howling, baby crying and a very very bumpy ride! But I must say we are happy to be here!

our first day, we got some sun (of course) and had already seen some marine life (from a distance of course). we saw whales from our condo, a turtle sticking his head up from just in front of the condo and.... this could be argued...sharks or manta rays! not sure

anyway we are having a wonderful time. walks on the beach. wading through the ocean. dips in the pool. catching rays on lounging chairs. smoothies and other good food!

enjoy your minus temps while we enjoy 27+ temps!

Aloha!

Oh p.s. I want to upload some pics but haven't figured how or if I can do it with my ipooed. if not, I will do from home!

the beauties of MOTHER nature and OLD MAN winter...

this past week we've had some crazy winter weather... rain, which froze (obviously) and made the roads very treacherous to drive on (the gravel was worse!), then fog, then ice and fog, then some fresh snow to top it all off friday am.

the following pictures are the results of our weather...
