Vacation Bliss

It's been almost two weeks since I've brushed my hair, worn a belt, or checked the stock market. It's nice to let go of a few of life's unnecessaries. 

The other day, I picked up the newspaper and tried the crossword puzzle. The only clue I could figure out was '47 Across: Stimpy's friend'. It's good to give the brain a break. 

Yesterday, I hiked Kilauea Iki Trail with my parents. Two hours through a lush, musical, colourful rainforest and down into an otherworldy, steaming black caldera. It's nice to get the full sensory experience on foot. 

This morning, after waking up (without the aid of an alarm clock!) to watch the night turn to day, I walked down to the Kona market with my mom and dad and bought some mystery fruit. It's relaxing to jellyfish around without a schedule or agenda. 

But above all, it's great to share this time with my family.
