Something About Nothing...........#8

[keishashadow]

friday, hooray, it's been one of those weeks here...the type ur glad to put to bed

MH really enjoying the pics, when i saw the waves & then u mentioned snorkling off catamaran my back started having sympathy pains, what a trip of a lifetime!

Q for u, said u did the Destiny (im thinking probably when it did the SanJuan itinerary but i'll ask anyway). Have u snorkled the wall @ Grand Turk? the pics r sorta creeping me out...concept of 7000ft drop is scary thought but im more worried about an exhaustive strong down current & haven't been able to find any info as to whether that's the case.

Update from Mac:

THe situation for both parents remains grave. They are in a skilled nursing facility. She thanks each and every one of you for your continued good thoughts and prayers.



Special Shout out to Mad Hattered: Thanks to you, Mac is living vicariously thru my descriptions and details of your trip that I am relaying.
She says to let you know she is no where near any technology, and is enjoying your trip report.

She also says she has no idea as to when she will be home for that matter and to carry on. She will be back eventually.


On a side note that has nothing to do with the above, If any of you are Baltimore Oriole fans, I am truly sorry about your season. Maybe a good hurricane blowing kinda house cleaning is in order.

Thanks for the update Penny. So sorry to hear this. You are still in our prayers Mac!

Camping in Door County this weekend. Guessing most of you don't have vending machines like these by you!

it took me awhile to figure out what the machine was for...duh...

did you get anything out of them--was the bait....ahem...fresh?? I mean, who thinks of putting in that type of machine...was someone just sitting around drinking beer one night and says, "Hey, let's make some money with a bait vending machine?"

Morning, Homies. Getting ready to head to church. I hoep the choir isn't singing - I have no voice today!




Hey, Mac - sorry things aren't improving for yoru parents. Still praying for you and them.



MH - LOOOOOOOOVE the new installation of pictures!

 

[Worfiedoodles]

MH -- These photos are perfect for my pre-Lost finale day! The island isn't finished with me yet! Truly an amazing place...

I will be adding a special prayer for mac and family in church this morning. Guess that means I'd better get changed and go...

The kids and I stopped at an open house today (house of a friend's late father) and I sooooo want to buy, but DH is raining on my parade.

It's a cross between Wilderness Lodge and Poly. Just the most awesome totally cool house, I've ever seen. It's one of a kind and I want it, I want it, I want it

prayers and hugs continue

Marci--DH said there's one of those in town--go figure--still wonder who came up with such a thing

And DH is using this board and those lovely Hawaii pics this morning against me!! Now this is 6 am in the morning mind you and I'm making everyone's breakfast and lunch and he says, "You know if we buy that house, then we can't go to Hawaii and Europe and all of the places that we intended on when we retire?" He kinda forgets the farm that he bought last year strictly for hunting purposes that he only goes to once a year...Sigh...

Afternoon all ... we're back ~ safe and well rested. Had a wonderful time and finally caught a shuttle launch (which we had not planned)!!

Mad Hattered - Love the Hawaii pics - looks like you had an awesome time.

Sorry to hear that Mac's parents are still not well ... sending our thoughts her way

 

[keishashadow]

welcome bonnyhow many SD cards are filled? congrats on viewing a shuttle launch, did u plan trip around it? (ive resigned myself to never seeing one every time i plan a trip to try & catch one it's been cancelled...even the end of july one this year) maybe the Sept one will be delayed 3 weeks

Spent the evening in ER with DH, something bit him on the arm (he thinks at THE house that I want to buy). His arm went numb, sick, and headache.

sorry to hear mj is he prone to being allergic?

I got bit by a bee yesterday afternoon & spent rest of day in benedryl hazeglad i didn't have to pull out the epipen. Make sure he follows thru on this, u can develop allergies even when a grownup.

 

[Mad Hattered]

Hey all....glad you're diggin the pics. Here a few more that I sized last night.


5/4 continued.......so anyway....we enjoyed some refreshing drinks at Moose McGillcuddy's and then checked in to our Maui Hill condo.

We had the whole top floor of this unit

We then made our way down to the Kamaole beach for a Maui sunset. It was hampered by some clouds but it would do...

After enjoying that we made our way north to a little restaurant called Dina's Sand Witch for something to chow. I say chow because I totally forgot to take food porn pics!!

But we did have fun decorating a dollar bill to add to the 15,000 that are pasted in the place.

5/5 - Hana Highway (cue the Highway to Hell by AC/DC now)

It starts off all nice and peaceful...

Turn up the song now.....here's why. Hana highway is 52 miles long (to Hana). It consists of 617 curves, 56 one lane bridges and takes a minimum of 3 hours one way (without stops).

It's so calm at the beginning...

This is where we stopped by the Garden of Eden botanical garden where the opening helicopter scene from JP was filmed. Oh yeah....I should probably mention that TR/KR rented a Harley for this ride so that's why they're dressed like it's a fall day here in the Lou.

Oh look....one of the random 50 waterfalls on this freakin road!

And there are people swimming in it!!

Here a view of this awesome highway taken from where I just took the waterfall pictures. This is turned to the left and looking down...

And more random garden shots...

Time to get back on the road again. BTW, most of this drive is on the edge of a huge seacliff but jaunts back in the jungle at times. Totally trippin balls...really. It's hard to explain with pictures...

I hate to leave it right here but I've got to do some actual work here. I will finish this day up later on today.

Back in the day, when my sister and I were doing the dance scene up in Pittsburgh, she would tell men her name was Madonna...then, when they were hooked in and say something stupid, "like, really, your name is Madonna?" Then she would say her name was Madonna McGillicuddy. No idea why, but she was always so serious, they believed her...course she was married so she couldn't exactly give her real name.

And a man who knows what food porn pics are! Yay! I went to show hubby some sushi food porn pics from the California Grill the other night and he got all excited and was a little disappointed that they weren't what he thought I was going to show him.

Hell yeah I know what food porn is!! I even take pics of my own creations all the time. I believe I was a chef in a past life. Here is a little meal I whipped up on 5/7 in our condo in Maui. I made 3 types of poke with some fresh off the boat ahi tuna that I snagged. I served it with a seaweed salad.

I continue to be amazed and enthralled by MH's photos...

And in breaking news, I completed negotiations with dh and I just booked RPR for Aug. 30th - Sept. 3rd! That's 2.5 days at Uni with my fellas, and 1 on my own when they go to Wet 'n Wild. We'll arrive Monday afternoon after a stop at DTD (gotta negotiate that too, but I think I can get it), I like a little Disney fix and since DH is going to a Sox/Rays game and leaving me with the kidlet at his dsis Saturday night, I think I can get it!

We started at a trip to Tampa with some days in Orlando on I-Drive and no theme parks, and we ended up at RPR and going to Uni and Wet n Wild. This took me two weeks to work out, but thank goodness I just wore him down! I told him he is welcome to stay by the pool the entire time, ds and I are perfectly happy to ride everything without him...and we are! We'll be at my SIL's the weekend before and after, but I don't mind. Her pool is refreshing and she is an awesome hostess!
