The struggle... I just can't do it anymore

I am sad to report that as of now I can not post future pictures do to the Internet connection that we receive. It currently takes around 40 minutes to load a picture (if it doesn't time out) and I am loosing my mind... and ready to throw the computer into the ocean!

I will try to upload pictures on our next island. I don't think it will be better but I will try.

We have had a few busy days. On Thursday, Jan 29th the same day we did our first scuba dive, we went to a luau for supper. It was awesome. I have some great video and pictures to show. Friday Jan 31 we spent the morning/day on the beach and then in the evening we went to Lahaina for shopping, eating shave ice (Dustin's favorite), and we watched a beautiful sunset on the pier. Yesterday Sat, Jan 31st, we went diving again in the morning to the crater also referred to as Molokini. Our deepest depth was 65ft for about 35 minutes. On our way back to shore were were able to stop and watch whales that were hangin out in the channel. There were several males and one female. The captain's on our boat said that it looked like a competition pod. That is were the males fight for the female. After the dive we were quit tired so we went back to the room and took naps. We got up around mid afternoon and made lunch of some local fresh shrimp and scallops. That evening we went to Sansei's again (the awesome sushi restaurant). We then came home and watched tennis. Poor Roger Federer.

Today we got up relatively early and decided to drive the Road to Hana. What an adventure. I wish I could upload pictures and videos for everyone. We visited a black sand beach, drove a road that was balancing on the edge of a cliff along the coast line, hiked through a waterfall, and had a nice lunch of pastrami sandwiches. We got back to our room around 8:30pm. Just enough time to shower and throw a load of laundry in and to bed we go. I HOPE.

Tomorrow we fly to Kauai. We will be at the airport around 12 (noon) and our flight leaves at 1pm.

Life's an adventure.

Cool! It sounds like you are building some awesome memories, and not wasting a minute. It even sounds like nap time was well deserved. It will be fun to see all your pictures, but the dialogue is great--keep it up! :)

Thanks mom! I should just load all of them on to Kodak and send out albums for everyone to look at. Just gotta find the time.

I'm sorry to hear about the picture problem! One thing you could try is to upload them to another web service, like picasa or the one i now use is
photobucket.com. After you load the photo...you just copy the "direct code" which will be under the photo when you click on it to make it bigger. Then paste that code in your post under the html format- instead of the compose format. Does that make any sense? Clear as mud right! Well, don't worry about the photos-just enjoy your time!
