Lovin' Hawai'i, but ready to go international!

So, we've been in Hawai'i for several days now, and they have all been barn burners. Yesterday was really cool. In the morning, we went extreme parasailing together down in Waikiki. We were up in the air probably 1000 feet. The view was just amazing. We were tethered next to each other and haven't actually done anything like that since some things down in Panama City. I told the guy that he could dunk us if he wanted. That means he lowers us just into the water, then takes off again to pull us back up. Well, we were under for several seconds as he dragged us and were quite pleased when we actually popped out of the water and way back up into the air.

Yesterday, we spent just having a good time around the island. Took our customary dunk in the Pearl Harbor pool to cool off and get the salt off, then were just mean about the island. Last night, we went to a luau on the southwest side of the island. Great show and good food. Kind of a strange area for an event that is supposed to put you in the mood of the island, but fun anyway. Got back home last night at about 10 and off to bed pretty quickly.

This morning, we drove over to the north shore to see if the waves were up or anything. They weren't. Lots of people up there just enjoying the beach and snorkeling. We stopped, grabbed some lunch, then headed down here to Hickam to check on flights. Looks like we probably won't be heading from here to Austalia since the clerk said that they do that every TWO weeks--and this ain't one of them. They have a flight headed to Japan tomorrow and we will probably try to get on it.

Heading back up to Kaneohe in a few, but just wanted to put a few words in.
