SO, this IS winter?

Thanks for sharing the mainland "winter" with us...
Just showing that we get it!! Cold and refreshing...
Grace in front of her snowman, looks FREEZING!
Here are the gallons of water rushing and pouring over the waterfall.
Winter rains from the wettest spot on the earth, island style...
Red dirt water.
Wild life out for a winters day stroll, looking at the airport runway.
Baby Nene (geese) and parents.
A sleeping monk seal out at Poipu beach.
NO, not "hibernating" just resting for the afternoon.
It even gets yellow tape around it so it can nap.
What a good idea for parents who need a long winters nap?!?!
Oh, this is the back end of the ship Michael and I are going on across the Pacific! A "winter" shot.
We leave from Honolulu Feb. 4, Monday and get into LA Feb. 9, Sat.
Michael has ALWAYS wanted to go across the Pacific Ocean,
and he even tried once with Boy Michael in a Katamaran out of Santa Cruz...
BUT, this is THE only way I will go WITH him across that Pacific ON the water!!
Anyways, we named this the year of the CRUISE to celebrate our BIG decades
birthdays!!! Happy cruisin' and stay warm to most!
