72 days. Meeting my sis in Honolulu to celebrate our mutual birthdays. She is turning 70. she loves Honolulu and goes just about every year for about a month and it is always around our birthdays so I often join her there only I am there a week only.

BG - Where are you all staying again? I am very excited you get to finally go! I know that with all the snow in Buffalo right now it would be nice if it were today :-)

Momddtravel2 - We will spend 2 nights in Honolulu then 5 nights in the Grand Hyatt on the south shore, then a week at the Hanalei Bay Resort.

And I don't have any snow in my part of town!!! :-)

Oh, and no pressure. We can just send good vibes to each other.

We're back one week now from our trip to south Kona. Gorgeous weather, the ocean warmer than usual, fresh lilikoi, hosted a pupu party for friends and watched the sunset, great laulau and lomi salmon at Super J's for lunch, lovely dinner at Mi's Italian Bistro, pizza and beer at Kona Brewing Company, DH bought a new snorkel mask at Jack's Diving Locker in Kailua town and we relaxed majorly.

Now we start our next countdown - 67 days til we're back to the island of Hawaii :D.

martym, fabulous!

DH managed to snag upgrades for our flights in Feb so first class will ease the 'pain' of the long wait until Maui 2015!

I was going to add it's the ocean I miss most but then realised I'd have to add many more things lol! ;)

Congrats on the first class seats! It does make the loooong flight easier. Enjoy!

24.5 daysssssssssss

Didn't realize I was down to double digits now. 75 days until Kauai! Yay! We got back from Bali the week before Thanksgiving and however much I complained about the heat there, I really do miss that warm tropical feeling...

26 more days until we are in Maui for two months! Looking forward to this gift we give ourselves each year!

18 mo days

Can't countdown yet, because we don't know exactly when (probably late summer or early September), but we're going to the Big Island for the first time in nearly 40 years (all Oahu-Maui-Kauai since then).

12 days from today I'll be working on my first Kauaian hangover.....

42 days! Used my Untied mileage and am so glad I booked it when I did. Listening to my Hawaiian music as I enter this info. Can't wait to over to the Marriott in Waikiki on Thursdays to listen to the wonderful Ohana music group. tasting and breathing in the salty air right now..Oh, no, wait a minute that is my vaporizer but soon, very soon it will be the real stuff.....

46 Days ((R))

Packing right now.....

6 sleeps to airtravel hell and then. . .

Happy new year...we can now say we are going this year! The winter blues will be eased by the thought of the Hawaiian earth beneath my feet in just a few months.

144 days!

Here now but about 181 until we return... :-)

41 days til we're waking up at the Waipio Wayside B&B on our first day on the Big Island. It's 10 degrees here today with freezing FOG--so am counting the minutes.

.....still here. :-)
