Aloha 'Oe!

So we leave on Tuesday! We're really excited about our trip. The only thing I'm NOT looking forward to is the looooong flight! Ick!! But I know it will be worth it when we get there. I'm taking lots of books I've been wanting to read and Jonathan has been loading up his backpack with lots of electronics....it's alright I guess but we're having to take so many cords! Since Marion and Rudy will be in the mountains and my parents are going to Scotland, the Shih tzus and the house are being house-sat by our very sweet friends and neighbors the Vans. Their three kids really love the dogs, especially Pippi Amanda and we're SO grateful to have them watch our little darlings for us! MaryAnn, who is a PhotoShopping genius, has shown me how to make a book on Photoshop and then Shutterfly will make it into a hard cover book. I was ultra impressed with hers from their Italy trip, so I'm going to try my best to do that with this trip....we'll see. I'll post some pictures and a small report when we get home in a few weeks. Hope everyone is well and has a great week!
