My first Christmas in Hawaii

I survived Christmas by keeping busy and realizing that fact I'm able to be in Hawaii for Christmas!  I was able to talk to all the kids and even did some ichatting.  Almost like being there.  Im very much excited that Michelle is coming for a visit with her husband on the 7th to help celebrate the fact that I made it to my 60th birthday.

We went to the home of my new friends, Myra & Herman, for Christmas Eve dinner.  Delish!  This was the first Christmas Eve that I can remember where I had not cooked for my family.  I only had to make dessert (I did it from scratch!)  The new me!  WE also played Scrabble and the Dombrownski's were the champs.


One of the best things we were able to do is add three more geocaches to my finds in Hawaii.  These were all west of were we live in a very remote part of the island.  We climbed hugh bolders to a cache I found, we walked up and down a steep hill looking for this cache.  Forrest finally found it and it turned into the most unusual cache of the day.  One the way back, we found our last cache, which was an easy find.  We came back to house feeling like we had our exercise for the day!
Our first cache was overlooking this beautiful view
These boulders don't look big but we really did struggle to get to this cache.
WE found this one on a very steep cliff overlooking the ocean.  A funny story is associated with it.


Our last find.  Notice the clouds are moving in!
