That's so very COOL!!!!! I guess that answeres the question if you'll see us before Xmas, huh? ;) I hope you'll be home by NYE, but if you're not, I know you're having a grand time in Hawaii. Mele Kalikimaka!

I envy you. I didn't spend nearly enough time in Hawaii! Have a great visit with your family. :cheers:

Have a Merry Christmas with your family, GC!

No freakin' kidding! I think that rates the best ever.

Enjoy your time with your folks and Grandma.

I'ma gonna miss you!!! {really, as in you won't be around when I am at Disneyland...}

Thanks, y'all.

I was just thinking how lucky I am to have such great friends here and a wonderful sis there.
:)

How cool, GC! Now, brush that piece of sock lint off your lip and get to packing! (And have a wonderful time).

:)

That's wonderfull GC! Have a great trip and a wonderfull Christmas!:snap:

Enjoy it! How sweet of your family.

My trip home was wonderful.

I spent some quality time with my family and actually had a good time doing it. My grandma was happy to see me and I her.

I ate way too much and ate food that was probably really bad for me... Oh well...

The weather was ideal and I had great fun on the North Shore watching locals surf waves at Pipeline and watching tourists get pounded... Ha ha. :D

I got some fun presents, too.

There was only one meltdown at the parents' house, but it didn't last long and is mostly forgotten now...

:)

I'll have to tell my friend he chose the wrong holiday. He took his five year old son home to Hawaii for the first time over Thanksgiving. In the build up to the trip he was hyping the giant waves they'd see and the kid was talking about it constantly.

And then the whole week they were there the North Shore has Waikiki surf.
