Grass Skirt Vacation

This week I found out my parents are headed to Hawaii ... that is great but my kid is going there on a field trip next year, yes she is going to Hawaii for a High School Field Trip ... everyone is going to Hawaii except me!!!

Weather conditions in Hawaii ... The Hawaiian Islands have a moderate tropical climate with gentle northeasterly tradewinds and warm Pacific waters almost year-round. Temperatures vary little from place to place, except at higher elevations (see "mountain conditions," below). The average annual temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit (23.9 degrees Celsius) fluctuates only a few degrees from summer (May through October) to winter (November through April).

Hawaiian waters are inviting year-round, averaging 74 degrees F (23 C) and reaching close to 80 degrees F (26 C) in the summer months. Surf conditions vary year-round according to seasonal storms in the Pacific.

I hope a sea turtle snatches one of their little toes!!!

But honestly I love the idea that they are headed t0 blue waters ... my folks earned a little relaxation time and Doms is good people.

Doms is headed to Hawaii with her classmates ... she has become a well traveled little girl ... Scotland, England, Middle Eastern Countries, St Johns, St Thomas, Mexico, Cancun, and a few more I am forgetting about. Good exposure to other people's culture (ask her about the naked guy leaning against the rock reading a book on the beach!).

Driver Shortage?

They have been running short of drivers ... not sure if it is the freight picking up or lack of available drivers but they have kept us busy ... this is a good thing especially for team drivers.
