Return of the Haoli

Maggie got a great offer this summer. Her good friend Kurly was in Hawaii for work, and needed a nanny for Lion Thing while she worked. Kurly bought Maggie a ticket to Hawaii, and I got my own and joined them. We got a condo outside of Waikaloa Village on the Big Island and set about our adventures.

Kurly's husband, Flowboy, developed some fancy software called FLO2D. Kurly and Flowboy often travel promoting and training for this software. I like to tell people, "This vacation was sponsored by FLO2D (TM)".

This photo shows how ethnically and religiously diverse Hawaii can be. Where on earth can you find a close-cut Ron Livingston, an Asian child, Colonel Sanders, Anoushka Shankar, and a completely shaved Ari Fleischer all praying for world peace?

I made Maggie love on this depiction of a little girl asleep on a giant sea turtle.

This tree was about 50 feet from the sea, and was perfect for climbing. It also provided excellent shade.

Mmmm. This looks nice.
