Food For Thought

Q: Why does Hawaii have Interstate highways? It's a group of islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. What state(s) could they possibly drive to?

A: Hawaii has Interstate highways so it can guzzle at the public trough, just like the other 49 states. Without federal funds it wouldn't be able to build and maintain the extensive road system between the islands ... no, wait ...

Why does Hawaii have Interstate highways?

Parasailed and boggie boarded yesterday. Visited the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial this morning. Catching a flight later today for Kauai. Waikiki is nice to visit for a couple of days, but enough is enough. 

Haven't caught a glimpse of obama, but his spoor is all over the place. However, can't find a trace of his birth certificate. Will continue searching.

Stay tuned...

Paddle boarding? Whale watching? Tropical adult beverages? Been to Crazy Shirt?

Paddle boarding has a weight limit. Some one in our family - I won't say who - exceeds it. (Muscle weighs more than non-muscle...)

According to the locals, it's too early in the season for whale watching. They aren't here yet in large numbers.

My wife is conducting her own personal mai tai and daiquiri taste test contest, but I'm happy with Longboard beer. It's a Hawaiian version of Shiner.

Passed by the Crazy Shirt store, but we're giving all our business to the ABC stores. It must be a state law to have one per block.

Ziplining tomorrow. Still working on kayaking and more.

Make sure to save your ABC Store receipts and get the free gifts. We left with several 'free' coffee mugs and calendars.

We saw whales every day that we were in Maui last Christmas. Wonder why they are late this year? They probably wanted to wait until the Obamas cleared town.

Envy you the ziplining. One of my kids is terrified of heights so I stayed with him during that outing and the helicopter tour.

Get off your damn computer and enjoy your vacation.
