Back to reality

So soon....2 weeks sure flies by when you're having fun.

I really DID have fun these two weeks. Amazing how life can be -- at this point 1 year ago I was pretty down in life. My friend called me "futless". For those who can't understand our Hawaiian vernacular, suffice to say "futless" means I was having some bad days.

Flash ahead 1 year later and I'm just about as happy as I can get. Sure, it's a little depressing dropping my girlfriend off at the airport this morning, but I know there's going to be more to this relationship and it's great to look forward to.

Things could not have been better. My girl Florence & I spent the past two weeks practically inseperable. (ok it's official now, I no longer need a make up name like Christy). The weather sucked ass but I think we made up for it....we spent a lot of time eating take out dinners at home while we watched home movies.

There was a couple days of sunlight in between this monsoon weather where we managed a day hiking up Diamond Head and spending a day out at the Polynesian Culture Center. Nothing pleased me more then to see how happy she was watching the hula dancers and hearing her stumble her way through saying some of the Hawaiian words.

Yeah, it rained a LOT these past 2 weeks. Some parts of the island we had 22' of rain in just 7 days. I think they declared some parts of the island a disaster.... how's that? We haven't had rain like that in over a decade and the weeks my honey is here we practically have to swim to get around town. /sigh. DAMN YOU WEATHER GODS!!!

I'm a lucky man though. Now I'll just have to spend the next 48 hours left of my vacation coming down from the clouds to be back to reality.... thinking ahead to my next trip up to Hong Kong!
