Title: Belated Merry Xmas and hello from Hawaii
Post by: Gaffers on 28 December 2008, 05:16:25

I know its late but belated Merry Xmas to you all!  

I was on a cruise ship where the internet was slow and expensive so I could not get online on Christmas day.  The weather here is great as we are now staying with a friend who lives on a hill over looking Waikiki and Honolulu (a former judge, she married me and the wife in her house right in the spot where I am sitting writing this message)

The cruise took us around all the islands with a day in each location and we saw and experienced so much, including lava flows, swimming with wild dolphins, snorkelling in a bay which was like an aquarium, and a lu'au on Xmas day.  When I get the photos uploaded I will send you the links because there are some great shots.

Tomorrow I get to go fly-fishing on the flats going for the elusive bonefish or o'io.  I have caught a few before and pound for pound are the best fighting fish I have ever hooked.

I am now convinced that I am going to live here after the army career is over and me and the missus want to take advantage of the current housing situation.  I can pick up an acre on the big island for $50k!!!!

Well I hope I havent made you all too sick, I wish I could share the islands with you all.  You should all get out here at least once in your life, it is fantastic.  

TTFN

Severe jealousy building here....went fly-fishing just before Xmas for some trout so the other half could make some pate (my excuse and I'm sticking to it) and nearly froze me bits off. I have seen so many of these TV wallahs wading through the flats after bonefish I can even picture myself there and if only Camelot.......
