A Year in Hawaii
Today marks our first year in Hawaii! Like all those who travel the world we left amid promises of e-mail and letters. As we have sunken into domestic bliss we have been remiss in keeping those promises. The occasional e-mail spurts forth from our computer and even rarer is pen, paper and stamp. The sad thing is I wasn't kidding when I mentioned domestic bliss. Is it because we don't have a grand adventure to post every week that we have been so slack, after all there is nothing sexy or newsworthy about driving to the school three times a day. Is there a belief that we visit 50 foot waves at Waimea when our standard day consists of work, school and shopping for groceries. Is there pressure to write and describe about the hustle and bustle of Waikiki, shopping at Ala Moana and snorkelling at Hanuma Bay? Could it really be that we are just lazy?
Is this blog a true and honest attempt to keep in contact with friends and loved ones? Is it self therapy to soothe the guilty conscience? If no one reads this or comments then obviously it is the latter. I really don't know, in all possibility it's just another passing fad! Now that I've got that off my chest read on and join us for our last year in Hawaii.

You may drive to school three times a day and go shopping, but I see there is no mention of going to work
not like that in Cairns

At least you all have had the experience of doing "the norm" in a different culture, country and get to say Aloha all the time (do you?) and actually mean it.
In your defence, communication is pretty frequent on email, and no one writes letters and posts them anymore. Enjoy your last year and I hope we can come visit and watch your domestic bliss in action!
