Vacation Planning!

For as long as I can remember, I have said that I will go to Hawaii some day.

Sure, I was there when I was about two or something, but really, do you think I remember anything from it?  Actually, I do.  I remember getting bitten by a bird at the zoo when I stuck my finger in its cage.  I also remember drinking bubbles because I couldn't comprehend that to make bubbles you had to exhale through the straw instead of inhale.  Any of the cool stuff?  Just lost in my sub-conscience.

The top thing to do while there: Visit Pearl Harbor.  Aside from my obsession with the Pacific portion of WWII, my Gramps was in Pearl Harbor.  To visit the Arizona memorial is on my list of top 5 things to do, ever.  It's our history.  There are men entombed in that ship for eternity because they died in service to our nation.  That's powerful stuff.  And I, for one, can't wait to see it for my own eyes.

Also, it's Hawaii.  Duh.  What more reason would you ever need to make this trip??  It's gorgeous, with a capital G.  I know, I know.  So many people say it's too popular and overcrowded.  I don't care.  It's Hawaii.  It's America's own little paradise.

Plus, my name is Lani.  Doesn't get much more Hawaiian than that, folks.  It's almost like I'm obligated to go.  Honestly, I don't mind having that obligation.

So....let the saving begin!  Remember, personal checks can be made out to me ;)

Just kidding!

Hawaii, here I come!
