I'm Back!

Whew, glad to be home!  Love vacations, but I really have a rough time with lengthy flights (Hawaii to SW FL makes for a LONG flight).  We had a fabulous time with two sets of friends on two different Hawaiian islands.  Thank you Bill and Lucille and Iris and Addison, Greg and I enjoyed our time spent with you seeing the sights and experiencing the adventures of the Big Island and Oahu!  Highlights for Greg and I included night snorkeling with the Manta Rays, a boat trip to view the lava flowing into the ocean, viewing the stars from atop the volcano, seeing the volcano steam vents, teaching Addison to swim (she's 5), getting Iris to try new foods (even some spicy!), touring a submarine at Pearl Harbor, and breakfasts by the beach.  Below are just a few pictures from our trip.
