JJ,

Love where you put Canada!

Where is Hawaii? I am sitting in the Honolulu airport ready to fly to the Big Island of Hawaii.

Cruise around the Hawaiian Islands was fun. Saw a lot.

Helicopter trip over the whole island of Kauai
was fabulous! I have to figure out how to post pictures when we get to the condo.
I have not tried before to post pix.
