MAHALO NOTES
*And a very big MAHALO to YOU, Kauai air, for greeting us upon arrival!! (Also, Hawaiian dancers in baggage claim…)
*Mahalo, Dorito Fingers, for all your special skills.
*A special Mahalo to Popcorn, the Puppy of Friendship, for bringing (and keeping) Heather and Jeff together in travel peace and harmony.
*Fluffy Sky Lounge towels? Mahalo to you, as well.
*But NO MAHALO, exploding grill. There’s already one volcano on this island. Simmer down.
*Knitting Needles of Frustration, you deserve a hearty Mahalo.
*BKE Burger…you are everything to me. And I mean EVERYTHING.
*A big Hawaiian Mahalo shout out to the U.S. FBI for giving Heather the week off. We sure appreicate you sharing her with us.
*No Mahalo, Pufferfish, for hiding during my dive.
*Mahalo, Christopher’s Flowing Beach Vest, for accompanying us on this adventure. And always being so photogenic, both in and out of the water, both wet and dry.
*Mahalo, Aquatic Mountain Horse, for being so all-terrain. And being named Heather. You look like a Heather.
*Mahalo, S and W, for being more than just a letter…
*Mahalo, Wetsuit, for giving me a four-hour hug.
*Mahalo to Kauai’s indigenous people and their newest American chapter president , Sits with Naked Thigh.
*Mahalo, Shark, for being the only one left to accompany Christopher on his dive.
*Mahalo, Shea, for chumming the water for Shark.
*Many Mahalos for the birth of Burgicken. The culinary world won’t know what hit them. But really, it’s just a big slab of meat samplings. And Mahalo, Chef Jeff and D-Shea for birthing it.
*Mahalo “BEEP” You saved us from many uncomfortable moments. Unfortunately, you did not manage to save us from all…
*Mahalo, Aqua Lift Chair, for showing us how fun being disabled really can be.
*Mahalo, Polly Pocket Beach, for being life-sized and not plastic.
*Mahalo for the vertigo, Roundabout.
*Mahalo, Quinoa, for being this trip’s mascot, even though you’re small. But not so small that Dante didn’t recognize you for what you REALLY are.
*Mahalo, laxatives, for being Katie’s best birthday present EVER.
*Mahalo, My Grandpa the Nazi, for being the best forthcoming book title EVER. And, Jeff, mahalo for having a Nazi grandpa.
*Mahalo, Kauai, for always—and I mean ALWAYS—showing us a good time. Mahalo, Taylors and Dastrups, for making a good time in Kauai a GREAT time in Kauai!!
