good morning from HAWAII!!

we certainly had an early wake-up call this morning, a rousing "living in america" along with luke's voice gently reminding us that it was time to wake up. at 0610! so early! a very quick trip through customs (all of 1 minute..) and we just finished breakfast.

i have cell service, so if you are a verizon-user, feel free to call or text! it's so strange to be using my real phone! and to talk to everyone! there is a 6 hour time difference from the east coast, so just be aware. i'll do my best not to call and wake anyone up!

off to explore! (and to surprise rennika!)

aloha there girly!! did you find the beach yet? are there meenkees in hawaii? pocket sized ones?

I have been very busy and somewhat lazy and not on my computer much - don't know why really - maybe spring fever? SOOO.....hawaii is a place i am familiar with - unlike EVERYWHERE else you've been. I do hope you get to go out to the pineapple farms - just the smell will kill you, i hear. Lord, i love pineapple!!

is it weird to be "back" in the USA?? so much ENGLISH! you don't have many days left either -which seems ridiculous ~ it was just yesterday that i was saying it would be FOREVER until you got back home - i'm sure it's been faster for you! and how very cosmopolitan you will be with all your friends from all over the world!

just want to remind you how proud i am of you - it seems to me that you have grown in many ways since you left, but i am most proud of the way you've conducted yourself. you have done your family and your country a great service, and i can't wait to get my hands on you to tell you in person!! i think doug and i will be up this summer sometime - don't know if caroline can make it yet, with her internship and all - we'll see!! if not, maybe you could come down here and visit for a while - plenty of space!! anywho, we'll work on that later!

I hope you're having a wonderful time - don't get sand in your cracks! i love you babycakes!! Aunt T
