Stoopid, cuz, given the state of the economy, it's just stoopid to lay out this kind of money just for a vacation, but....
I just booked my birthday-vacation. 3 nights in Lahaina, Maui and 3 nights on Waikiki beach. Yes, I loved my trip there last year so much, I'm going back, and this time I'll hopefully get a chance to do some of the things I didn't have the chance to do last time, since I was on a cruise. I'm finally going to see Hana, instead of having to stop halfway there because I had to be back on the ship, for instance. I'm going to snorkel Monokini atoll. I'm going to climb Diamond Head. And I'm going to lie on the beach and soak up the sun.
I guess this is my contribution to the economic stimulus. I'm getting a nice check back from my taxes in a few weeks, and considering my alternatives to going back to Hawaii were a week in Vegas and a cruise of the Virgin Islands, both of which, surprisingly, would have ended up costing me MORE than this trip (not the least reason being that both would involve casino gambling, and I'd take more cash to lose at the tables than this trip will cost me in airfare and hotels), I'm actually being fiscally responsible. Yeah, that's the ticket.
So if anyone's planning on being on Maui from May 9-12 or in Honolulu from May 12-15, I'll buy you a drink.

They called back.
Side note: this guy also taught Plaxico Burress in high school, so....
OK, I was reminded of this last night when I was doing my walkaround at lunch. I was reading the community board we have in the old layaway, and noticed there was a thank you letter from the county association for the blind for allowing them to hold fundraisers at our store.....
The letter was full of typos.....
I am bad. I was still laughing several minutes later.....

Re: I just did something both wonderful and stoopid
Given the shocking dialogue that has taken place here I suppose it is far too late, and a good bit less amusing, to mention that while KT may or may not be wearing a monokini he will be doing so while visiting Molokini, enticingly located in the heart of "Lake Maui".KillerTomato wrote:Wonderful, cuz it's gonna be fantastic, I just know it.

Beautiful place to snorkel (or at least it was as it has been at least 10 years since I went snorkeling there). Had a brief semi close encounter with a humpback whale while there and a much too close encounter with a moray eel. Not uncommon to see whales if you are there at the correct time (which is January/February and not May) although anytime will likely be a delight!
Molokini!

I recommend a visit to Warren and Annabelle's while in Lahaina if you enjoy a bit of magic in an intimate setting.

Re: I just did something both wonderful and stoopid
Sounds wonderful, Mike. I am sure you will have an awesome time. Hawaii is still one of our most favorite places we have visited.
We also want to go back one day.
