Happy New Year!
Barbara, Steve, Megan, and Megan's friend Shannon came to celebrate the New Year. Sophie LOVED the two teenaged girls!
We stayed home on New Year's Eve and celebrated with Donna and Steve from across the street. As expected, the neighborhood put on a fireworks show for us. Most of us managed to stay up until midnight (we had to wake the girls for the toast).
Barbara, Megan, and Steve...
Sophie the Photobomber...
Megan with the Ali'i Drive Macaw...
If you've ever wondered what the habitat of two 16-year old girls looks like...
It's a very scary place. I recommend entering only when absolutely necessary.
Tonight, Megan and Steve go night snorkeling with the manta rays! Barbara and I plan to watch from the hotel bar.
Aloha y'all!

Jen and Donna and Manta Rays, oh MY!
Jen and Donna came for a week in mid December.
They snorkeled every day...
Donna was very serious about her snorkeling and convinced us to go snorkeling at night with manta rays. Jen and I were both a little resistant, but it was SO MUCH FUN!
We donned wet suits and rode on a catamaran with 25 other adventurers out to a spot near the Sheraton where the underwater lights attract krill which in turn attract the rays. There were more rays than we could count and they were HUGE. Our boat crew said rays can get to 16 feet across. Some of the ones we saw SEEMED that large but probably weren't. Donna took these pictures:
Aloha y'all!
