Ms Mausi Goes Hawaiian....

[msfledermaus]

I'm checking in at an internet cafe in Waikiki, after an afternoon of shopping for flip-flops and sunglasses. It reeeeeeally doesn't suck. At all...

I got in yesterday after a shortish and then a longish plane ride where one of the stewards kept teasing me about knitting a bikini. (It was a scarf. Well, it will be a scarf.) I saw not one but two rainbows when we landed in Honolulu, and there was another one today when we all went off to find breakfast. My friends and I landed and got set up at the hotel... within an hour of deplaning I was floating around in the ocean, looking up at Diamondhead and whooping with glee. Maaaan, this is so good I may never go home. I can just see myself at the airport, wailing and holding on to a concrete pillar like a 5 year old...

Everything at our hotel is pink. Pink hotel, pink towels, pink shampoo and beach umbrellas and wallpaper. I'm starting to see the point of pink now...scary, huh?

Even when it's raining, the rain is nice and warm...I didn't even bother to pack and umbrella, and I'm not buying one, either. It just feels so good, being outside in a tank top and skirt and not immediately getting hypothermia:)

So there you are...and here I am...and I will have an extra Mai-Tai in honor of the currently tiki-less...

I'd be more scared of you wearing pink than of you fighting to not leave at the end of your vacation.

Funny thing is, I still won't wear pink; hate the stuff...but I'm just starting to associate it with mai tai's and warm weather now:)

Whoa, are you at the Royal Hawaiian?

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

Yep, the Pink Palace itself:)

I'm having a total blast, it's just sooooo cool! I'm up to my eyebrows in beach sand and foofy umbrellas!

I was just visiting an old neighbor in Minneapolis tonight and the house of our immediate next door neighbor has permanent Tiki lamps surrounding their lawn furniture. I kid you not.. Thanks for the update from paradise...

I may have to find a way to strap tikis to my apartment complex when I come home!!!

[sirreal13.livejournal.com]

or better yet, strap 'em to the old Crack Shack and light 'em. If the crack shack doesn't burn down, then they're safe enough to use at home ;)

It sounds heavenly. Have some more fun. Right now!
