Where Have We Been?






On the big island of Hawaii, we swam in the warm water, ate papaya with lime every morning, read on the beach, watched humpback whales from a boat, hiked through rain forests and across a volcanic lake, kayaked, snorkled ... and during one of my snorkling excursions in a pristine bay, eight spinner dolphins joined me. I didn't have to pay $200 to swim with the dolphins at a resort; I was just out in nature and they swam with me. This wasn't a vacation; it was the trip of a lifetime.

Oh, it looks lovely! I've been to Maui twice, but never the Big Island -- you've got me wanting to go there, now. Glad you had such a wonderful time!
