Ah, I can see it in my mind's eye :)

Do they still have the crusted tiger prawns in some sorta ginger sauce ? They had them on a mixed pupu plate and when we said they were favorite the waitress said we could have them by themselves if we wanted !
So much for a quick snack that evening :)

AuntieM, iamq,
Just got back to rat hole Pennsylvania from 3 glorious weeks on Kauai.

Enjoyed hooking up with you guys on Aug 2 at the Happy Talk. So nice to put a face to a nickname.

I just brought the suitcases in from the car after traveling all night and day, so I will write more after we crash.

AuntieM, what was that thrwead you wanted me to look at?

iamq, hey didn't see you teo guys anymore up at our tree on Tunnels, did we scare ya away?

Later gang............goning to snooooooooozzzzze

My sympathies on having to return to the mainland, Rich! 8-)

Does anyone out there have a link to the thread about "do your friends/family think you're nutz for meeting up with online strangers?"? That's the one we want RichinPA to read...

RichinPA...condolences, I feel your pain!
topped the thread for you on meeting onliners...

Yall could not have done this trip in July???!!! ...when I was there. Kal I thought you were normally in Kauai in Februrary. How long did you go for this time? Hope you all had a great time.

I have one pic from this GTG with all 6 of us in the pic. I am not very tecnical, so I don't know how to post on here. Maybe I could email to Auntiemarie or someone

Darn, I forgot the most important note.

TO WHOMEVER FROM FODORS SENT US THE PUPUS ON THE NIGHT OF OUR GTG, 8/2.....MUCHO MAHALOS. That was such a nice gesture from you great people.

Now who is taking credit for this..........you are so appreciated.

Rumor has it there were bunches of Fodorites involved -- they wanted to ensure your GTG was memorable.

You can start the finger pointing towards iceeu2. ((a)) ((b))

You guys must be serious partiers to be having a GTG on a weeknight! Us Honolulu Fodorites had ours on a Friday so we could nurse our hangovers the rest of the weekend.
;)

Aaahhloohhhhhaaaa everyone! I feel like I haven't been on fodors for weeks... we've been traveling non-stop since Kauai. I'm still working on that trip report w/ photos... soon I'm hoping. One more trip this weekend, and then I'm here for awhile.

So good to hear ya'll had a great time... wish I could've been there too.
((R)) Rainbows and sunsets to you!

AunteMaria, here is the link to "does your family thinks it's weird"

FainaAgain...will you teach me how to link a post?

Mucho mahalos...((r))

i'2

((r)) Aloha Kauaiphiles - I also am green with envy for those of you who were able to make the last 2 Kauai GTGs, so I am putting this out there: we will be on Kauai from 2/4-2/18 next year - anyone else gonna be there then (other than AuntieM, of course)? If so, would love to arrange another GTG during that time! ((b))((D)) I'm giving everyone 6 months to think about it and make their travel plans! ;) Mahalo and let me know via this thread. ((r))

FainaAgain:

Mahalo for posting the link -- RichinPA hadn't seen it, so I hope he logs on again soon...

To post a link:

open the thread, click on its (it's? where is the spelling police?) name, make sure the url on top has a bunch of numbers at the end, click on it, so it gets highlighted, Ctrl-C (or right-click, copy), to to another thread, post a reply, Ctrl-V (or right-click, paste)

Now... say again, where are the pictures :)

No pics???? =-O

'zup wit dat, sistah!?!

>:O I'll be there 12-29ish thru 1-17ish so everybody better leave me alone. Go to Maui!! It's not as dark at night.

Kal... on a motorized broom... over the Pacific... on New Year's Eve... I want to see THIS picture posted!!!

Faina, I still don't get it! So besides teaching me about Muni you can give me computer lessons, LOL.

OK, so when is Bill back on-line? ("Two more days", "one more day", etc.?) In order to do justice to his unprecendented months and months long build-up, I am impatiently expecting to read one fantastic trip report, complete with photos of Kauai's famous man-eating chickens..... extreme close-ups, preferably, and I mean I want to see tonsils (the chickens, not Bill's.) Oh yes, and the mosquitoes.....! /Ren

Aloha all! I am one crabby apple this morning and reading this has REALLY made me depressed about being back! Rolled in last night...

As others have expressed, thanks to the little ((6))s who sent us the pupus for the GTG. Very thoughtful AND very yummy! GTG are fun! It was non-stop banter. We were such the revelers that two unknown persons joined in on the fun. Who was that man? He looked like someone I've seen on the news programs with the pundits.

I have two or three pictures to post, but it might take a while as I'm still walking around with visions of palm trees swaying, gentle waves lapping, and island breezes in my mind. I'll post them with the rest of my pictures from the trip as soon as I get my okole in gear.

Rich: Yeah, sorry we missed seeing you at Makua (Tunnels) again. I can't remember where we went, but I know it was not as good as Makua! We ended up going back several times. I want those chairs!
Ren,
Hang in there bruddah/sistah! I'm still on island time, but I can tell you that I did get a picture of a marauding rooster that we ended up nicknaming the Kahuna of Lumahai harrassing beachgoers.
Aloha for now.
-Bill
