Aloha and Happy New Year
We are one week away for our Christmas present. As my kids get older, it’s harder and harder to buy for Christmas. I was so frustrated last year, I felt like I was just buying things for the sake of buying things. Not good!! So I made a proposal to the family. “let’s not buy Christmas presents next year and save our money to take a trip to Hawaii” They all thought that was a great idea. So I saved all year. With Tori’s retail job and school we determined that the best time to go was January. We leave the 6th and will return on the red-eye Saturday the 12th. Needless to say we are very excited to be going. I have to be honest and say that it has been really nice this year not to have to stress about buying Christmas presents.

We are going to the Big Island, we have rented a condo just outside of Kona, the breach is just across the street., Based on the information we can see the ocean from
