Opa and I are off to Hawaii today. We carefully timed our vacation to be when Matt was between business trips. Matt arrived home late last night and we fly out at noon. We will return in ten days, a few hours after he leaves on his next business trip. It's always hard to decide when exactly to go and how long to stay, so having these parameters helped motivate us to book our trip--that and our expiring companion fare coupon.
The children tell us that we never go on vacation, but that's not true. Fifteen months ago we went to a different Hawaiian island (Kauai) and that's what started the ukulele craze in our home. Three years ago we went on a cruise in the Mediterranean. Now that the two youngest are not babies any longer, maybe I will plan more trips.
On our trip we plan to sleep in as late as we want, walk on the beach daily, visit a volcano, collect a few rocks (!!), and check out the local quilt and ukulele stores. Maybe we will go to a movie. Definitely we will read a book or two.
