E mai, e mai, e kipa mai ma loko nei o Kahanu

I wish I could come visit. I could feel the warmth and hear the ocean reaching and caressing one of her favorite children. Those blue berries are gorgeous. I hope you don't get conked on the noggin with a cocoanut.
Fantastic Christopher. Just fantastic. At a lose for words at this point.
I wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday. Hawaii on your birthday, poor you! Check in on Blotanical sometime. You have been missed.
Tomorrow is the big day. Enjoy it to the fullest.
Rain again today here. Boy all is so wet.
Why did you leave?
Happy Birthday! Be glad you are not here; we are drowning! (:

When will you be returning to the mainland?

Happy Birthday Christopher! I know it will be a good one.
I love the 'do not walk anywhere near the coconut tree' sign! When I was in Australia - a tour guide was talking to folks about the crocodiles, and how more people die from a coconut falling on their head than by a crocodile...
(ps you look WARM there!)
Next time we go to Maui, I'm hiring a driver to take us to Hana.
How far away can a coconut fall from the tree anyway?
The ocean looks choppy!
Two weeks from this very moment I'll be in Kapa'a! Can not wait.
Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone. It was a lovely day.
Kitty i left for the chance to own my own garden in NC instead of forever being a tenant farmer.
Sallysmom I return on St. Patrick's day.
Pam it is indeed warm, occasionally even on the edge of hot.
Chuck the windward side is often more rough. Have fun on Kauai.
Christopher, I am teary eyed reading your posts from Maui. It's all familiar to me and oh, how I wish I could be there! Hauoli la hanau!
