Hawaii - The $10 Coconut, the Snoozing Turtle, and Mahi Mahi for dinner in Obama Country...(13-14 DEC 2008)


On this lovely weekend, we headed out for some snorkeling. A wicked storm (that made CNN) had visited the Hawaiian islands a few days prior, so we expected things to still be a bit murky underwater, but good enough to take a nice spin along the coast and have a look around.

Matato'a (our rapanui friends) kept us company as we drove up the coast - not along the Windward Coast, although in a convertible everything tends to be a Windwar(p)ed Coast regardless (as you'll hear and, no, we're not complaining whatsoever...)

[HELP: IF YOUR VIDEO STOPS INTERMITTENTLY AS YOU TRY TO PLAY IT:
For those without super fast internet connections (including us, at the moment) your videos will probably not play continuously without some advance buffering. It is easy to buffer, however, so all is not lost. Simply click 'play' to start it playing, then just click the pause button (II) on the lower left side of the video screen until you see it has buffered 1/4-1/1 past the right side of the dot (there is a red 'play' line to the left of the dot and a faded red 'buffer' line to the right of the dot). Once buffered, simply hit the red play (>) arrow in the lower left corner again and the video should play through without interruption. If it does not, it is most likely because you did not let it buffer long enough. Slow connections may require you to buffer the entire video before you begin to play it - fine so long as you know what to do!!?? Now you know. Enjoy the show!]



Our first encounter on this day was 'The $10 Coconut':



Then we met a snoozing turtle (no worries, it isn't dead, just sleeping). The murkiness was ok.
'The Snoozing Turtle & Other Underwater Treasures":



The day ended on the lanai (aka a Pacific terrace/deck/balcony)with some grilled Mahi Mahi, Steve's Signature Mai-tai, and a Cactus in Obama Country:


Aloha,
Steve & Camilla
