pictures too big for blog

Since I am NOT a big fan of downsizing my digital pictures,

look to facebook for my Hawaii pictures.

If you are not on FB, you will continue to be my source of

motivation :)

Aloha!!

I learned a couple of things while I was visiting paradise:

1. Aloha has three different meanings

hello, goodbye and I love you. They never say "goodbye" because

the word "goodbye" to them means forever and they know that

we will all see each other again someday.

2. everybody (meaning Polynesians) calls everybody 'cousin'. They are

the friendliest people I've ever met!

3. If you wear a flower in your hair behind your left ear = your taken/married;

right ear = single and looking; in the back, center = taken, but willing and on both sides= confused, not sure. The way you wear your flower speaks more than you know hahaha.

4. if you can pronounce the vowels the right way, you can say most anything in hawaiian

a = ah

e = eh

i = ee

0 = oh

u = ew

5. People that live there love to brag about Obama and Elvis! It's hilarious!!

Anyway, until later...Aloha!
