well, my better half has convinced me.... we're going to Hawaii.

Our nephew is a surgeon in the Army and came back from a 2 year stint in
Iraq to be stationed on Oahu because his wife is also in the Army and
doing her residency there. They have a 3000sq foot house overlooking
Pearl, so we have a free joint to stay in and tour guides who promise us
things that "normal tourists" won't see/do, including access to running
the dunes on the military lands in a Jeep.

He says we're going to do a "real" luau, not one of "those tourist
ones". Now, what's the diff? Hell, I don't know but I'm really looking
forward to it!

Going the 15th of Jan and returning the 30th, so I'll report back after
that but I'm lookin' forward to some GOOD PIG!
