Sucks to be you, mainlanders.
January 23rd, 2007
While the rest of you were getting snowed on or frozen or blown over, I’d just like to pass along the news that this past weekend we went to Hapuna Beach for some body surfing. Two to three foot with the occasional four (and maybe five) footers. Upper 80s, not a cloud in the sky. I got a slight sunburn on my face, even though I was lathered up with sunscreen.
Two weekends ago we went walking through Devastation Trail in Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park where we saw three nene, two parents and a chick.
Here’s hoping the rest of you are bundled up nice and warm. :-)

Dunno what you’re talking about, it’s sunny, clear, and pleasant (+10 C / 50 F) here in Calgary. I’ll take a Calgary winter over a Vancouver winter any day!
I do remember Hapuna Beach very well, however, and we had a grand time there.
I’ll send you some snow.
It’s not bad here at all anymore. It’s been getting into the high 70s, low 80s for the past week. Beautiful, top down on the convertible weather. :)
