• Hot tea and oatmeal for dinner. Why is it so cold here? #
• Home in Seattle, driving my own truck in my own city. It feels too much like I was never gone. Also, it’s cold! #

I returned home last night from an amazing week in Hawaii, soaking up the tropical sun, sipping drinks around the pool with friends, and celebrating a very special wedding with John and Heidi. Danielle and I did more exploring than on previous trips to the islands, venturing out to Kula to tour a botanical garden, and tagging along with Bill, Jenn and Kristen for a day’s drive along the road to Hana. It was a relaxing escape from regular life and I was so tempted just to stay there forever, but if I’m going to move to Maui I think I’d at least want to come home first, pack my computer and my SLR camera, and ship down my motorcycle. :)

• Carving a fresh mango under the shade of a leafy palm, the crashing surf of the warm Pacific at my back. #
• Feasting at the Old Lahaina Luau. Open bar, fresh fish, roast pork, dessert buffet… there’s no counting calories tonight… #
• Baking in the sun on the white sands of Oneloa Bay. #

• Packing a cooler, piling in Bill’s jeep, driving the road to Hana. #
• Island dub on the iPod, teriyaki steaks on the grill, the trade winds are blowing, and the mai tai’s are flowing. #
