Aloha Therapy

Despite the many differences that Jeff and I have we agree on one important thing and that is the ability we both have to live spontaneously.  It has served us well through out our marriage.  Our latest was a week and a half ago Jeff called and mentioned going to Hawaii and 6 days later we were sitting on an airplane headed to Kona, Hawaii.  I always tell everyone that I only need one hours notice to go any where and that is if I need to wash my underwear.  I keep my toiletries bag packed and ready, suitcases are in the basement, and my passport is in my file.  I am ready!!!
Yes we are spoiled, but this trip isn't as bad as it sounds.  Jeff's Uncle Rex (who has become a surrogate father and grandfather to our family) has a residence in Hawaii where he spends the winters.  He is always offering it to us to use anytime.  His car is available to drive and we had frequent flyer miles so we are here relaxing by the ocean and it really isn't anymore expensive than a trip to Park City.
Since we have been here many times neither of us have felt the need to do Kayak Tours, Whale Watching Expeditions, Snorkeling Excursions, or any of the varied activities offered.  This is a vacation of R&R.  We thought after our lives being so rushed and hectic for the past four years we ought to take some time to get reacquainted and literally relax, rest and unwind.  It has been awesome!!
We have spent hours at the beach reading our books with an occasional dip in the swimming pool.  We  meander upstairs for a quick nap and then leave for a while to get a bite to eat.  It is tough duty but someone has to do it.
Today our schedule varied a little as it was the Sabbath.  Sunday in Paradise--It doesn't get better than that.  Church in Hawaii is wonderful with their Aloha Spirit.  Not only do you get an Aloha Greeting at the beginning of the meeting, but today was Testimony Meeting so each person who stood to speak started with an "Aloha."  I love it!!!  After church we ventured out to do some exploring of the island and visit some areas that we have not seen before.  Great Day.
