In the HI

Life was good, life was really good.

Hawaii was all that we expected, and Aya and I have decided we could live there on Kai One Place, no problem. Only thing is, we need to find some jobs first. The trip started off with Aya getting hammered (on accident) after the waitress at the restaurant switched Aya's lemonade with an alcoholic one. That was a wonderful kickoff to the trip.

Following this there was many a vist to the beach and lots of other activities which were done. Dan and I decided to kayak out to some "bird sanctuary" where no birds were located, while Maria and Nina went to the very far away islands in the distance there. Job well done ladies, Dan and I could not make it that far.

Then there was the meet up with Charlie from LOST. That was pretty cool, and he actually saved my tail, cause we were running late to the restaurant/bar (when there are famous people around everyone is happy).
Of course we can't forget the picturesque scenery all over the islands, the crystal clear water and Pearl Harbor. I decided to go swimming at "Sandy Beach" later to realize that it was actually as dangerous as everyone said it was. The 12ft swells damn near killed me, but at least I hit some serious waves while I was there.

Finally there was the great times relaxing with our family and friends, and my noteworthy discussion about Global Warming with Danny B. Apparently he hasn't seen An Inconvenient Truth, but after I send him his free copy, he promises to sport the "I'm sorry, I was wrong about Global Warming" bumper sticker on his whip. Until then, I will keep fighting the good fight.

Check out Flickr Show for all the new pictures. Lots are labeled and if you want a sweet Kai in Hawaii poster, let me know.

The 131

Just a little something before we leave; I put up the pics, 131 of them, from the last couple weeks. So head on over to the slide show to give Kai a good look before he picks up his Cute Baby Tan.

The people in this photo set include: Kai (dauhhh), Mom and Dad, Nabechi and Kae (Two of Aya's close friends), Rachel (co-JET participant), and Sora-chan (co-JET Bill's daughter).

Take'er easy.

Sionara (just for a week)

Well, this might be the last chance for me to put up a post, but you get to look forward to all the great pictures and good stories from our trip.  Aya wants to go shopping for about 23hrs in the afternoons, as for me well, I am thinking beach, beer, bed.  Okay no that is not all, there is also the WWII memorial, the beautiful scenery, and of course, my first chance to go surfing!

If there is a chance, I will throw up some pictures on the blog while we are there.  Otherwise expect to hear back in about a week.

(In our spare time, Kai and I practiced our Lion King Impersonations as we get ready for the presentation on the Summit).

Hawaii Here We Come

Well, school is winding down for me, and Aya, Kai and I are off to the Isles of HI.

We will have a week of relaxation in paradise, with our family and friends.  In case you didn't hear, my parents, the Robilottos, the Fitzsimmons, and the Bodkins (Nina, aren't you and Dan engaged yet?) will all make the trip out to see Baby Kai.  This will be Kai's first trip in an Airplane, and we are all keeping our fingers crossed that he enjoys it so much, he happily falls asleep.

The vacation starts Saturday the 24th and Aya and I can not wait.  Kai is also looking forward to the masses just waiting to gawk over him.  By this time he is used to it; every time Aya takes him out to the store the other mothers just won't let her be.  All she hears is Kawaiiiiiiii (not Spanish) from all the other women.  

Lastly I will leave you with some recent pictures of the little guy, man is he getting big.
