I think we're going to Hawaii |

My cousin and his wife are going to Hawaii and I was talking to him today and I think he talked us into joining him. His trip is perfect timing for us and we
have always wanted to go there. I am excited. My boss has given me permission to take the days off. All we have to do is book the trip! It is in Maui. Is that
cool or what? I love my cousin a lot so I am looking forward to it.

Oh, E, once again - I'm jealous!!!!! You are such a jet-setter!!! LOL! I would someday love to visit Hawaii. My boss went there last year and her pics
were so gorgeous. It truly looks like paradise. Man, I could use some Hawaii weather/sunshine about now, as I'm battling pneumonia!!! Bring some back
for me, will ya?

That is wonderful! Have a grand old time. When exactly are you going? We have been to the other islands, but not Maui. One time, we booked a trip there with my
BIL's family, but ended up going to Kauai instead (which we loved, of course). You will have to tell us all about Maui!
Where are you going to stay? Please give us a review of the facilities too when you return, for future reference. Mahalo!

Jamie,
Sorry to hear you are sick. Ellie, I would love to go to Hawaii, but that is a LONG plane ride for me anyway. My aunt has been there and her pictures are beautiful. Happy Thanksgiving!

Bon Voyage mon ami, Hope you have nice weather, when we went back in 2004 we were in Maui.
The town we stayed was called Kaanapali, It's pretty close to Lahaina

We are still in the planning stages (i.e. asking the in-laws if they will baby sit, etc. so it isn't a done deal, but I do have permission. LOL. It is from
Dec. 15 - the 21. It is $2501 for two people for one week. But that is from Seattle. We haven't priced it for us. It is almost as far for us to go there as
for us to go to France. And it is a 5 hour jet lag. So it is almost like us going to France. Except with NICE people LOL. Oops, did I just snort coffee?
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
What's this about Pneumonia? Are you OK Jamie?

Wow - I hope you guys can make it to Hawaii. That would be a nice breather before Christmas rush!
Yes, I 'm doing much better today. I started out with bronchitis two weeks ago yesterday - did a 5-day course of antibiotics, cough got worse, started wheezing, had to have breathing treatments and chest x-ray - decided I had pneumonia - put me on a 10-day course of antibiotics, still couldn't stop coughing/wheezing, went to dr. yesterday again - she decided I was having a constant bronchospasm - gave me a steroid shot which worked wonders in a few hours! I can breathe much better now and am hardly coughing at all today. I feel 90% better. I have four more days of steroids and then hopefully, all will be clear! Thanks for asking! Jamie |

Wow, that is really scary! It is so scary these days with the killer bacteria out there!!! I can't believe you were on antibiotics and it still persisted!
That freaks me out! Thank God for steroids! I am so glad you are better.
Of course, you never know, it could have been the Vicks' vapor rub on your feet! LOL!!! I am so glad you are feeling better!

Cool, E, that would be a great trip! I'm envious of all the trips you get to take! My dad would call you a "gad-about"!!!

I guess it is kind of crazy, when I was a child, I never went anywhere. Then I got in the oil biz and started realizing how big the world really was. Then I
saw that you could go to Europe for $600 if you got your tix at the right time! We will see how much the tix/arrangements end up to be for us, it is a lot
farther for us to travel than our cousin. JD has not priced out the tix yet. But we have the go ahead from our parents to go ahead and do it. I think we may
actually pull this off!!!

Southwest has some fares for $109 - 152 each to Seattle if you wanted to go that route. Of course they are non refundable. The anytime refundable ones are
$384.
We always fly Southwest whenever possible and usually book our vacations through swavacations.com because they have some great deals. I don't think they fly to Hawaii though. We lucked out going to Vegas because we had an empty seat between us going and coming. They don't have assigned seating, so we go to the back of the plane and if they flight is not full you have some extra elbow room. On the flight back we each could have had our own row. Happy Thanksgiving!

It's not crazy, just cool that you get to! I hope it works out and you get to go. You guys have had some rough times lately, and it would be good for you
guys to get away and relax!
God Bless America!

You'll love it! I went on a trip in 1991 with the guy that I was dating at the time. I've always wanted to go back. We spent almost a week in Oahu, and
then a few days each in Hawaii, Maui, Kauai, and a day trip to Molokai. I remember in Maui we saw the biggest banyan tree in the U.S. We also went to Iao
Valley State Park. There's a rock formation that looks like Kennedy's profile. We wanted to drive to Hana, but the road is so narrow and curvy, we
never made it. But what we saw was beautiful. Somewhere along the way we stopped to get out and walk and ran into some guy coming down a path. He asked where
we were from and we told him Virginia. He said "Oh Virginia is for lovers. You just walk all the way down this path and you'll come to a cove."
We walked along it and when we got to the top we were overlooking a small beach. There were a bunch of nude people on it!

Well, we got tix! It is all set! I can't believe it! It is all so exciting!
Now I just need a travel guide! I need to figure out what I am going to do while I am there. Apparently, there is some great scuba diving sites there, so I definitely want to try to fit that in. I love scuba diving! I can't wait to go somewhere they speak ENGLISH and where they love Americans because they ARE AMERICANS!!!! |

Ha ha. I still think we all need to go on a trip some day. We can make it work! I love Vegas and I can't get JD to go again (he only likes to go once
everywhere.) I think we need to get the GLC guys all to take us girls to Vegas one year!

E, I'm still free that weekend!
I think we need to get the GLC guys all to take us girls to Vegas one year!Well I/we would be happy to arrange for all you gals to meet us in Vegas. BUT, there would be a little pay back like borrowing the Vegas showgirls costumes for a couple hours!!
