What I did on vacation

'Dja miss me? Cuz I've been gone, you know.  I wasn't just slacking off here at Infusion Central.  I was in Hawaii...doing stuff.  Such as

I actually got the horse to trot...once. After which he said, "yeah, I'll drive."

Helicoptering over the volcano. Which was active. A. Ma. Zing.

Reading.  Book reports coming soon.

Lots of time on the water, snorkeling, whale watching, and general cruising.

OK, so I didn't actually go to any Weed Science Society meetings.

Then we took a teeny tiny plane to Maui with Captain "hey guys!" John...

Where we saw LOTS of rainbow activity...

and amazing whale activity! This isn't even close to representational. The place was lousy with Humpback whales.  On the Maui whale watch, they dropped a hydrophone in the water and it sounded like the most raucous cocktail party you've ever attended, minus canapes.

I also might have tried windsurfing.  There is, alas, no photographic evidence of this.  I assure you, I was a natural.  My innate skill was off the charts.  But you will never know.

It was, as I said, amazing.

I'm home now. Sigh.
