Back from the tropics, not much the worse for wear (just a couple scars from lava and coral -- yes, we gave blood to the volcano goddess Pele).

Good vacation overall, lousy last few days of no sunshine in Hawai'i, if you can believe it. Details forthcoming in a few posts later this week. I won't bore you with a chronological posting, but just various ramblings about our adventure. And some photos.


Best thing: snorkelling with sea turtles and many other critters on Maui.

Worst thing: weather so bad that we went to see "Revenge of the Sith" because we could not enjoy the outdoors.


Played a heck of a lot of Warcraft the last three days, making up for the long time away I suppose. Too bad they made it so addictive. Really, I was just dealing with jet lag. Often too tired and not in the mood to be constructive on other projects, so default to computer gaming.

Got most of it out of my system, though, yesterday after participating in two big raids, which took a long time and generated very little results. Much more fun with just the four original Angels on Friday and Saturday nights.

Pets all in good health. Many thanks to Jenn and Kenny for checking in on the cats during our absence.
