Hawaii, baby

Rachel is in the pool. Not a surprise, really. I'm sitting on our deck, from which I can see, I'm told, the islands of Molokai and Lanai. This morning we took our Arctic College bag up to the supermarket to do the bits of shopping - sunscreen, a towel, Kona coffee, water for Rachel, fresh mango ice cream, which is amazing, the richest, creamiest fruit ice cream I've ever tasted. French bread and cheese for lunch, and pasta for dinner. We have a kitchen.

I didn't think the prices were high in the store, but the lady who did the Aloha breakfast this morning seemed to think they were.

we're off

Vancouver Airport and we are early. Very early, the checkout counters haven't even opened yet. We are off to Hawaii, Rachel and I, for our week-in-the-sun. The alarm going at 3AM had me startled out of bed and rushing, but I think we could have slept a little longer. Oh well.
