Aloha, peoples.
We are in Hawaii. It is freaking gorgeous here. Everything is beautiful. Rocks, trees, plants, water. Really amazing. People are also really nice, and it's an easy trip for me to the driver on because everyone here drives like me - a very cautious Grandma. I've gotten confused and turned around a bunch of times, but I have yet to hear anyone honk.
The weather is pretty beautiful, though it's been a bit stormy. Humid, upper 70s low 80s. Ideal for a nice winter getaway.
We're staying at the Sheraton, which is pretty, but fairly lame. I always thought I'd love staying at a luxury hotel, but in fact, deep down, I am a cheap ass. It's not luxury enough to be actually luxurious, and they charge you for EVERYTHING. The very pricey restaurant totally sucks, too. Lame.
Still, the bed is comfy, the views are great, and the staff is helpful. So can't really complain. Except I just did.
We drove down the coast today to an historical sight where most of these pictures were taken. Some spectacular views, foliage, and wildlife.
David's dad George* kindly lent us his amazing camera, which makes even a spaz like me look like a good photographer.
Jet lag is kicking our asses. We managed to sleep until 4 this morning, and then got hit with the tired baseball bat around 6pm, when coherent sentences stopped happening.
Check my flickr page for updates, I'll be posting more tomorrow, most likely.
*George, consider yourself blogged.

What? Don't they have any funky B&Bs in paradise? I tried that luxury thing a long time ago and found that it is the same all oever except for the "quaint" details to let you know that you're parked in another lot. The photographs are really quite fantastic. Where do I get one of those "make-me-shoot-like-a-professional" cameras?? I hope you have a fabulous time! You've earned it. Think of me in clammy kalt Germany in bed with a nasty flu. Maybe the sunrays will break through and give me hope of regaining a verticle posture. Love to you both!
