32 days to go and 22 yrs. (Could have been 23 but damn you Iniki )

1st trip was 4 days on Kauai, 3 on Molokai and 3 on Oahu.
Next trip 10 on Kauai then 4 on Molokai.
The rest...allllll Kauai except a few years ago when we had to party with some Oahu Wicked Wahines...and Ken.

We have a standing invite from an old high school/college (not law school ) buddy of mine who owns a place on The Big Island near Naalehu.
Told him we'll stay with the Kauai Magic till it quits working for us.

Only a 20 minute delay in SFO and we arrived in Kona about 1pm yesterday. It's wonderful to be back. And I will write a report when I return home.

I was on a Panama Canal Cruise and we got rained out on our day transiting the Gatun Locks. All we saw was rain drops Being bored I got on the internet and found a fantastic air fare from LAX. I am going to Kauai and then Maui, total of 9 days. I will be leaving on Jan 15th. Now I am home and trying to put together accommodations, which I am finding not easy this close. UGH!

To be a real humble bragger you have to have stayed in Doris Duke's guest house at Shangri-La and post about it here.

Well, I wouldn't be surprised if someone in a drunken stupor camped out at Elvis' sweet suite at the Coco post the big wind and surf, running nekid singing viva las vegas. They wouldn't be the first to squat and camp.

iowagirl, if you haven't been to Star Noodle on your previous February trips, try it -- it's a really fun place, with good and unusual food.
