So last Saturday night another house on my block caught on fire. What’s up with all the fires in my neighborhood? Why have there been three in one year? What happened to the house that was where ours is now? Was it a fire that took it out? What causes all of these fires? Why can’t I read about these in the news?

Oh, the questions……

Tomorrow Justin and I leave for Hawaii! Woohoo! I am excited for our week of pure vacationing, though we don’t have a really structured plan. We are going to Oahu and will be staying in Honolulu, so I am imagining a few days of lying about on the beach and playing in the water, some scuba diving, biking, hiking, and sightseeing. We will likely have a couple of days of showers (M & T), so we’l plan on the Iolani Palace and shopping days to be those two days. Justin might want to try surfing, and we both want to see Pearl Harbor. So….lots for us to do! We didn’t rent a car, so we’l be bussing, biking, and walking a lot!

we’l probably blog from there, so keep checking la blog.
