Aloha

We got back from Hawaii on Monday morning. We had a great time - it wasn't really raining at all and our hotel was like a ghost town due to some remodeling that didn't really bother us at all. The only inconvenience was that the hot tubs were not working. That was sort of a bummer.

Daniel loved it even more than I thought he would. He spent the second half of the week searching the real estate section for something even somewhat affordable. No Go. The cheapest thing we saw on Kauai was a 1 bedroom condo for $350,000. So I don't think we will be moving to the Garden Isle any time soon. He also loved speaking hawaiian, mahalo and aloha-ing all over town. Much to the amusement of many islanders.

We snorkeled some and did a lot of overpriced tourist activities but it was worth it. I bought an waterproof disposable camera and made daniel chase fish around taking their pictures so I can blow them up and put them on our walls at home. We need more art on our walls and as we are both fairly talented and creative, I have decided that we need to get on it. So my first project is to put up these fish pictures (assuming they come out) and do a tribute to tiki in our basement.

Kauai has no tiki bar.

Target wouldn't take my fish film for developing today, apparently their processor is broken. I explained to them that I didn't need it in an hour, that a few days would be fine but they still wouldn't accept it. The guy actually said to me "Our Machine is Monumentally Broken". I was reminded of Say Anything - "So you are monumentally busy". Although this guy didn't look like the say anything type, I can't help but wonder why you would use the word "monumentally" unless inspired by that line. Needless to say if I don't offload this fish film soon, I know it will just sit around forever, I am a film developing disaster.

Which is why digital cameras are so awesome. For being a crappy, free camera, my digital camera really took some good pics on our trip. So instead of going on about the trip, I will just post some photos with captions.
