Hawaii or bust

Yes, so it's true, in 7 hours the saga of the next 2 weeks will begin. I have a feeling that getting there is going to be a bit frenetic. I leave here (i.e. Beaumont) at 7AM to ride the motorcycle to the dealership in Houston by 9AM, at which time I will call a cab, get my bike signed in at the service center, and then hightail it to the airport to make the 10:55AM flight to Honolulu. It's going to be A LOT of flying....well, not quite as bad as it was to China, but then again, Hawaii is half way to China. Anyways, I'm REALLY looking forward to this trip. Looking forward to relaxing, getting out of my 60 sq ft house and the circus lot, and getting to spend some time in Kona coffee country. Ah, the potential....at this moment, even though I'm tired from all the prep, I have the feeling of a kid that's just plopped his sled in the snow, ready to hop on and hurtle down the hill with excitement and abandon. Hmmmm, excitement and abandon....those will do quite nicely over the next 2 weeks. I shall keep you all updated. Till then......
