An albatross nests a couple of blocks from here. They apparently mate for life and return here every couple of years to lay eggs and raise a family. They are long lived - as much as 60-70 years - and able to fly prodigious distances. The pair takes turns sitting on the egg until it hatches. Larry led us to its lair.

Ah, I love that first photo. You both look so happy and like you're having fun. The flower (hibiscus?) is very pretty. And the albatross is an interesting bird, I agree. There is a colony of them on the south Island of New Zealand that I saw about 20 years ago. I didn't remember the details, though. Hope you're having fun!
Sounds like weather similar to Florida's--nice, huh?
I also really like the picture of you two. I am sure you will post others of you both having a great time in Hawaii.
Weather is fabulous. It got down to 71 over night, but popped back up to 75 today. There is a bit of wind, but not wind chill warning worthy.
That photo of the albatross sitting on its nest is very cool.
