At four a.m. on Sunday (wait, it gets better) I'll be heading to the airport enroute to seven days and nights in Hawaii. I haven't been to Hawaii since I was five years old -- and that visit was tacked on the end of a trip to New Zealand, so suffice it to say I really don't have a strong memory of the place.

Anyway, this is a whole-family vacation, as in it's me and my parents and my two older brothers, their respective wives and baby daughters. Let me tell you, it's going to be HILARIOUS fun to be the, oh, seventh (ninth?) wheel in that grouping. But still, it's been a good while since I had a totally relaxation-oriented holiday and I intend to make the most of it!

I have no idea if there will be internet on the other end, so in case there is not (and it would probably be really good for me if that's the situation) adios until May 5th! We're getting a late blast of winter here in Alberta so I'm happy to be away from it. Here's hoping there will be no more snow in May (don't laugh, it has HAPPENED.)

P.S. This means I will miss the open beta launch of DW so my DW journal will drop back into free account blah-ness until I can get back and buy into a paid account. Sad. But worth it.
