February has been busy for me. Last weekend I drove up to Gridly, IL. For testimonies and baptisms. This weekend I am visiting Rachel and Josh. It is Madeline's birthday tomorrow; she is turning five. I also made use of the massive snow up here to go snowboarding yesterday. A group from Josh's church were going, and I hitched a ride. Next weekend I plan to visit Bluffton, IN with a group from Taylor.
It is just way too early, or too late to be at LAX. We had a fast flight because of a tail wind. LA is just soaking because it is the two weeks of torrential rain that falls here every year. I will be glad to sleep in my own bed tonight, whenever that may be.
We are on Oahu for 12 hours. The drive up to the Polynesian Cultural Center is breathtaking. We had a very pleasant day learning about the Pacific islands. I am not looking forward to the long flight home.
We went snorkling at Kapalua Bay up north this morning. No drama, just lots of fish. It looks like I won't go windsurfing this trip. That is a disappointment, but I needed to plan better. I am not in shape to go, and am not sure I would have a great time. A van to transport the gear is also a must. If I want to maintain the sport I need to get a roof rack for my car. A smaller board would not hurt either.
The Maui Haytt has a group of penguins in the lobby. The lobby is open with a sweeping view of the ocean.
