"The vacation of a lifetime!"

Even before we stepped onto the plane, there were signals that the end of our vacation was nearing. My sunglasses broke, snapping into two perfect halves, and it rained in Waikiki.

The final four returned on the same flight from Honolulu, with the tradewinds helping to arrive ahead of schedule last night. Today, we are working to get our Vancouver legs underneath us. Already we have noticed that our bodies are unaccustomed to wearing long pants and that we need to relearn how to walk in closed shoes rather than flip flops and sandals.

I had a fantastic time. This was the most relaxing vacation that I have taken and I enjoyed our time spent together immensely. Mahalo nui loa, Hawaii Five!
