In an attempt to avoid the traditional Thanksgiving food fight between the liberal and wing nut branches of my family, I took off for a vacation in Hawaii, and I am now back rested, and anxious to catch up on my reading.
I had a really good trip this time, and was able to obtain permits to spend several days exploring the Na Pali coast of Kauai, where they filmed King Kong and Jurassic Park, and spent a couple days on the "forbidden isle" of Niihau, where only native Hawaiians are allowed to live. Unfortunately for the native Hawaiians, economic conditions now force them to allow tourists for short stays, but it was very nice.
My next trip(not sure when), will be through the Panama Canal and up through the Caribbean, and if I get close enough, I'll take you up on that carrot cake.
