Aloha from Paradise

We arrived on schedule and have been enjoying the beauty of the island. Our flight was smooth, the luggage all arrived with us and the weather has been wonderful. There have been a few clouds nearly everyday, but just enough to give us some respite from the sun. So far, no one has been burned, a little pink at the end of the day, but not burned.

Randy has done very well. His stamina has improved, but he still tires later in the afternoon. He has made it to the pool and hot tub nearly everyday. We follow him around trying to keep him in the shade, but by late afternoon, there is no shade so we generally make our way back to the condo. The folks here have been very attentive to his needs. Our condo is a little bit of a walk from the pool so someone picks him up in a golf cart and drives him down and does the reverse when he is ready to come back. What a life -- rides in a golf cart and doesn't even play golf.

We have seen many beautiful sunsets and eaten at our favorite restaurants. Randy's appetite has returned and I am thankful to see him enjoying food once again. This afternoon we will be heading upcountry to Kuhla to the Curtis Wilson Cost Gallery. We have some of his art hanging in our home. Paul and Diana have two beautiful pieces as well. Curtis is usually in his gallery and it is always fun to catch up with his latest endeavors. We plan to have an early dinner and head back down the mountain. It should be a great trip. The scenery is breathtaking and post card like.

Not much more to report. We have been enjoying ourselves and doing whatever we want to do.
We leave Saturday afternoon and arrive in Chicago early Sunday morning. We will be home in Evansville late Sunday afternoon.

Thanks for all of your emails wishing us a great trip. It has truly been that. I can see God's handiwork everywhere I look in the islands. We continue to thank Him for the opportunity to come to our favorite place again.

See you all soon.

Peace to you.

Randy & Sue
