Aloha (again) from Hawaii.

This time, I saying "Aloha" with a bit of sadness...as I'm saying goodbye to the wonderful week we have had here in the sun. We have explored, played, celebrated, and eaten a lifetime's worth of fish & hula pie.

My parents were here, too, and it was fun to share this with them. They brought me with them to Maui when I was about a year old...and now, Viola gets to have the same fun at the same age.

But I'm not just sad because it's the end of a wonderful week and wedding...I'm also sad because we are flying back to London today...from Hawaii. Woof.

We are flying from Maui to LA, LA to NYC, and NYC to London. Yuck. But, it'll all be worth it. We'll grab our bags, catch a night's sleep and hit the road the next morning for a Eurostar and 10 days around the South of France with my new semester. So while I get a bit of tired head thinking about the long travel days ahead, I get really excited to think that there are some young college students about to have their worlds' explode by studying overseas... and that I get to be there for it.
