Is a blue Hawaiian some kind of Smurf?
It's a very frou frou drink. It comes with umbrellas and fruit and flowers and flamingos sticking out of it.

No, but if you pass out drunk you might die.

That's why there's lifeguards. o:)

We need to have a sisterhood retreat. I'm thinking maybe we should go somewhere with one of those fancy swim-up pool bars.

I love blue drinks! If I go someplace warm and sunny, I always like to get a blue drink. Somehow, that just defines a good vacation for me. :biggrin:

(Another month and a half until I'm in Hawaii! :biggrin:)

You stop that MB! When my cousin's nieces started showing up with kids in diapers, I converted to pond/lake only swimming very quickly! No pools for me!

The big island...conference in Kona. :biggrin: They better be serving some good coffee during the breaks. :-p This is the first time I've gotten to go to a conference in a truly luxurious location (and might be the last time for a while), so I'm thrilled. Adding a couple extra days to do a bit of sight-seeing (or lounging by the pool...haven't decided which). I wish I could spend more time there doing some island hopping, but can't spare that much time away from work.

And the worst part is, I am only tired like this when I have deadlines. If the semester were over, the first thing I'd do is pick up my books and start reading them at my own pace..:rolleyes: I have a ton of reading on controls to do this summer, probably 4 books.

Maybe there is a nice library in italy I can just sit down in and read all summer long? With hot I-talian librarians?

MB, it's a good thing it's in Kona and not Hilo. Hilo had to be evacuated last week due to sulfuric acid fumes from the volcano!

They serve a killer chocolate macadamia nut pie at the King Kamehameha - truly memorable!

That would be my luck, finally get an all-expenses-paid trip to HI, and a volcano erupts under my hotel. :rolleyes: Well, once I'm there, if the conference is canceled and I have to evacuate to another island for a week, I'm not going to complain. :wink:

:smile: Hopefully not!

This may actually be a fantastic time to see some lava flows. Your timing could be quite fortuitous.

I've always wanted to tour Sweden, Germany and Italy. Or more specifically Stuttgart and Pompeii.
 
  • #75
One of the more amazing sites is to see how the lava in a past flow went right around a statue of the Goddess Pele. Given that many people still believe in Pele, it is easy to see how this was taken by some as a divine act. It is hard to imagine how the statue was spared.

When I was in Kona it smelled like a flower shop.

I had a blue Hawaiian. I was just about to cheer her up when my wife interrupted us. We usually stay at the Marriott in Aruba. They have a bar in the swimming pool. I don't drink there though. I hire myself out as a designated swimmer. That way I get all the free urine I want.

My wife and I are sick and tired of all the domestic quarreling, so our next good stab at leaving the country will be in August when we go to Cabo at the southern tip of Baja, Mexico. It'll be nothing but foreign quarreling for a week. It's an umbrella drink in the pool type resort and it will be our first time there. My wife said she'd leave the country if a Republican won, and I said I'd leave if a Democrat won. So in February next year it's back to the old grind in Aruba. Wake up, enjoy the whole day, go back to sleep. It's a daunting prospect, but under the circumstances it can't be avoided.

How about a travel club? Instead of being in the company of strangers from foreign lands, you can be in the company of strangers from your own country. Here is one (but there are many others). http://www.womenstravelclub.com/"
