Thanks Peter! Nice to know that there are warmer places out there!

Had to snowblow and shovel yesterday and today the temps are 36* and it has been raining out all day! I know it is just the leading edge of the big cold front moving across the States - but it sure is strange to have it raining - in the U.P. - on Christmas day!

Hope you are able to get out and enjoy your weather!

Pete,

I am jealous, my wife and I have been to Hawaii 5 times in the 7 years we have been married. We got married on Maui. The last time we were there was in 07 before my son was born. We were on the big Island for 11 days. We put on about 1500 miles touring and doing our thing. We stayed south of Kona, at a timeshare. That was the 2nd time on the big island. We have had to put off our yearly pilgramages to hawaii while rasing kids. I couldn't talk my wife into moving there 2 years before my son was born. I tried and tried, but she was afraid. So now we just have to visit. 2011 we will be on Maui for halloween. Merry Christmas from snowy MN.

Hey guys!

Today we spent around the house but the wife layed out at the pool, made her happy!
Tomorrow we go to the beach, supposed to have some good sized waves.

This is actually not a bad place to raise kids, ours survived so far. :D

Aloha, Pete
