Working

Locals won't be greeting mainland visitors with a lei, wow gold she says, "but they are going to take it to a birthday party, a retirement party, a baby luau. If you're giving a luncheon and you have a special speaker, they're going to get a lei. If you have government officials coming around, they…

My friend found a round-trip ticket for $300, so I jumped on a plane the next day for a 5-day mini vaycay. We spent one night in a hostel, one night on a living room floor, one night in a 5 star resort, and one night we popped open the roof of our convertible and slept under the stars!

What a day this was! I had looked at the company's website and read all sorts of good reviews on how nice the hike is, and how old people with heart surgeries had been able to climb this GIANT mountain, so I am thinking well hey, I've been walking all over the place for the past 5 days, I should b…

Postcards I have received from around the world... a work in progress because this is my new (and addicting) hobby! I love sending/receiving postcards from my TB friends...and I've even gotten my family into sending me postcards too! :)

    Originally my mother and I had planned to go for a swim in the morning at Lydgate and pretty much relax the rest of the day but my fiancee called and said that his mother and my girlfriend wanted to go shopping.  We put our plans on hold and got ready because he made it soun…
