Bye for now. We leave tomorrow morning. Next time I post, it'll be from Hawaii.

I finally finished my final Hawaii entries. They're here (the two sickeningly long entries above the Paradise Passion picture are new) and here (whole week is new except for the back-at-home entry). Also, my long-awaited entry about our November 16th night dive and Black Water Dive (I skipped over it at the time) is retrofitted here, and includes a few illustrations.
Not much happened the last week, but I made up for it with an overdose of pictures and one goofy video. I also filled in a few photos in the old entries, including the gorgeous Spanish Dancer nudibranch that we saw at Four Mile Marker on the 15th, a picture of me getting blown away on the Four Seasons' beach on the 19th, and photos of Mauna Kea and Kohala mountains, also from the 19th. I might have added a few others, but I don't think so.
Oh, and here's a photo of this sign just because it's pretty much the coolest ever.
[Edit: Before I close this out, I have to include two more Hawaii photos, just because I like them. They're both self-portrait head shots. Pure vanity, here. I like this one because my hair looks nice, and this one because I look really relaxed. I have a zillion freckles in both of them! And I think I look like me in both of them. :-)]
Anyway, we're going back to Hawaii on Saturday (!!), so I guess I finished this just in time.

I'm massively craving a lulo popsicle. I don't even remember what lulo popsicles taste like, but I still want one. I had my last lime popsicle (or, rather, my last "Trader Joe's Fruit Floes Lime Juice bar") instead, and it was good. Lime popsicles are very, very refreshing. But not as refreshing as lulo popsicles.

While I was eating my lime popsicle, I made up a 13-question food meme. Except, it's not actually a meme, since I made it up. But feel free to use it on your own blog (or send me your answers privately) and turn it into one, if you want!
