How was your trip Skippy??

[Kaleigh]

You have to tell us all about it!!! Welcome back!!!!

 

[Skippy123]

Awwwwwe, thanks Lisa. We cut it a little short because of the week hubby took for the funneral but it turned out to be a little over 2 weeks. We loved it; I think it helped hubby lots!

It really did both of us good. We did so many fun things. I will post pics a little later; I got back today so I am so sleepy. I missed my Pricescope friends. I thought of you all because I had big plans for buying a Cartier Rolling ring and tried the only white gold one they had (it was a size 6) and it didn't fit. I never wear a 6 and my hands were so swollen. . . I guess from traveling so I didn't buy one because I wanted to get the size right so maybe if I go to Vegas I can try them on there. Oh well, next time. The sales lady had a diamond rolling ring and it sparkled like you would not believe!!! I went to NM to see Diamondfan's Hello Kitty and loved it!

Someday

We stayed in Princeville; this is our second trip to Kauai. We did helicopter ride, boat ride, horseback riding and hiking in Kokee Park by Waimea.

My favorite part of trip was the boat ride. We left Hanalei Bay in the afternoon and right away saw over a dozen dolphins jumping and playing, then we saw the caves of Na Pali and lots of waterfalls because it rained during the morning, then the boat stopped for us to snorkel. We were snorkeling and I was 10 feet away from a shark. I swam back to the boat

. It turned out there were 2 sharks. My hubby took pictures of the shark (I will post them). We saw turtles and then on the way back to Hanalei Bay there was a gorgeous double rainbow and then sun set!

The last two days were were in Kauai we snorkeled at Ke'e and saw so many turtles it was wonderful! Thanks for letting me share; I will post pics this weekend

Thanks Lisa and Mrs S. I am posting the pics in Harriet's Eye Candy here http://www.pricescope.com/forum/hangout/travel-eye-candy-t61276-330.html

I would love to know about your vacation plans even if it is your own backyard, please PS'ers.

I know Harriet is going to Italy soon. Kimberly went to Maui and TG is going to Maui soon! Sundial is soon to come back from Europe; I can't wait to hear about that.

I recently went to the Grand Canyon for the 1st time ever and that is practically my backyard but it was sooooo amazing!!!

One side note. We flew back at night and people took off their shoes and walked around the cabin barefoot and some walked into the bathroom that way.

I was in shock. I guess I am a weirdo with my hand sanitizer and always wearing shoes in public bathrooms.

You should go Ellen! It is so beautiful. Actually last year this time a coworker of mine was wanting to go to Hawaii and I brought my million pics I took of our trip. She had her FI come down to where we were looking to see the picks and they just went for their honeymoon. She just got back and said she loved it!!! Okay sounds good, I will do a thread a little later (I will get hubby to help w/input of his thoughts too).

Thanks for the welcomes

Storm, Ellen, Lorelei, Madam Bijoux, and Harriet!

Welcome back!!

The shark scared me! I was with hubby and when I saw it didn''t even try and pull him to the boat because I knew he wouldn''t go w/me so I swam to the boat and didn''t look back.

it was good Sharon, I changed the date of the others out a bit. thanks.


Harriet,
hubby does not need arm twisting it is just that we just got home and we need to unpack and all that fun stuff (bills, etc). I was thinking of doing it on the plane but I got distracted by the lady next to me. Also they showed a good movie the "the Pursuit of Happiness"

 

[Harriet]

Will he make a guest appearance?

Me three! That is so gross! I always think of all the germs they are collecting!

Thanks for sharing pictures! It looks beautiful. I love the rainbow shot!
