What a vacation! ... We have been enjoying our stay here in Hawaii at Aulani, even with the threat of a dooming hurricane - what an experience for us Cailifornias! .. What we have observed, is that hurricanes are way more predictable than an earthquake! With all of the warnings and instructions, Iselle passed us by as a tropical storm and we were prepared enough to barely noticed, but that was not the case for the big island, Hilo. She took a direct hit and everything is a mess but even so, Ohana is strong here and they are working to clean up and get back to normal. Still keep her in your prayers! .. Here on Oahu, we got rain and wind.
We made it a point to talk to the locals and see how they were feeling about the storm and they were not to worried about it, so we didn't worry - okay, we were not panicked but we understood that things could change at any given moment. The Aulani staff were amazing at keeping us safe and posted on the latest developments of the storm. Yes, even that was fun! .. Now, we're getting ready to pack up and head home - aww man! - and get back to "the schedule", but we're relaxed and recharged, so bring on the school year! .. Until next time.
