Mauna Lani, Hawaii, aka, Paradise
We're going on vacation!!!!!!!!!!!
I've never been to Hawaii, but I hear it's nice. From the looks of the pictures where we're staying, it looks nice too. We'll be gone about a week, and I already wish it were a longer trip.
Snorkeling and picture taking, mai-tais with Tink, volcanoes, a *conspicuous absence of computers... aaaahhhhh... I can feel the stress just melting away already. I probably shouldn't get too relaxed just yet, since I'm not *ahem* packed yet. Let's see, shorts, camera, suntan lotion, money. I'm good. Let's jet!
the house tour continues...
please stay with the group, sir.
seriously, it only looks this nice at two times, nighttime and daytime.
Sweet.
Looks like the house at 19.942720, -155.873486 in Google Earth. Big place. If that's it, my wife and I stayed in a condo on the golf course 1.3 miles to the SW on our honeymoon.
Nice area.
I guess packing shirts and shoes was an intentional omission.
Anyway the place looks beautiful. I am very envious. It looks like heaven on earth.
you are a horrible, horrible person, Big V.
'cause I've never been to Hawaii either. and you get to go.
(Hope you have a GREAT time!)
Ohhh, I went to Hawaii in March,2004... its just gorgeous there.
The food is devine, the people are soooo nice, and they dont seem to mind drunk Aussies.
Watch out for the buggers that will ask if they can take your photo holding one of their pretty birds....then want money for the favour.
Although, they are pretty much the same as the people at LAX that want to help give you with directions and then ask for money.
Have a ball V and Tink
Just don't give them "your camera" to take a picture - you may never see it again. I went last fall and had a great time, but I went way off the beaten path in Hana on the island of Maui. Have a great time!
Looks like a cool place. I'm going to Honolulu for a wedding next month. Staying at the Kahala Resort for a week. It'll be our 1st visit, also.
Blimey V - is that all for you, or is it part of a hotel?
It's huuuuuge!
Have the best of times.
I hope it's a great trip for you guys.
Of course you realize we'll be expecting pictures on your return.
Have fun. We lived in Hawaii for just about 3 years so if you want some suggestions on what to visit just ask.
Wow. That's awesome Big!
I would be jealous if I weren't at work all the time and since I only have all this cleaning to do, and if life weren't such a bore, I'd be green with envy.
oh wait....
;)
Hello Tink, goodbye Seattle!

As you walk into the kitchen, the sink is in the corner of the room.
And the view beyond the pool is magnificent!
