Hawaii - Ono Snorkeling, Grindz, Mac Nuts & Coffee (14 JAN 2009)

Aloha!

Howzit? Here iz going mo bettah after a 24hr bout with dakine bowels. Humor aside (it wasn't fun!)

This morning, we set off for what turned out to be a fabulously calm (v-e-r-y) early morning snorkel outing.

[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!]

After all those Underwater Goodz, we needed these 'Very Ono Local Grindz'!



The afternoon was a study in Hawaiian Gourmet - mac nuts and locally grown coffee.
