Earl Family: January 2009

If Travis got a dollar for every time I said "amazing!" he'd be a millionaire. We just got home from an "amazing" trip to Hawaii. We have been on a couple fun trips to Jamaica & Mexico, but decided to go to Hawaii. I'd never been there and Travis really wanted to show me the sites. I LOVED it. We had such a fun time together. Saw some really greats sites and relaxed! We were able to spent 7 days, 8 nights on Maui. I guess it is their slow season, which seems weird to me, so there really were not a lot of people. We loved the freedom to come and go and do what ever we wanted to do. Can't do that in Jamaica or Mexico. We actually loved to get up at 7ish and go running. Plus, then we didn't feel so bad when we ate a big dinner! We did a luau, snorkeled, shopped, played in the ocean, swam with the turtles, shopped, whale watched, went to a great magic show, shopped, drove the famous "road to Hana," and even got in a Professions Skins Golf Tournament! (Travis was so excited!) We saw all the Pros. I only knew one, Jack Nicklaus. Did I mention that we shopped. So fun! We almost had to buy another carry on the bring everything home. Good thing swimming suits are little cuz we bought 4! Maybe someday we will be able to use them. We were welcomed home at 6 a.m. on Monday to a freezing cold, frost covered truck. I was ready to go back. I'm going to set up a "Hawaii" saving account cuz I am definitely going

back!
