a couple weeks ago, i got a postcard from my friend, Sandra. she spent her Thanksgiving in Hawaii...die! just a little jealousy there. i've never been to Hawaii. for about the past year, lois and i have been thinking about it though. ever since i got back in touch with my friend, Shana (who lives on Maui), the idea of going has been on our minds more. it would be super great to go visit her. the last time i saw her, i was graduating from high school and she was moving back, to live with her mom and spend her senior year there. that was fifteen years ago. she now has two kids that are 12 and 8. yikes!
still, going to Hawaii was never a priority choice. considering that the average ticket from Denver hovers somewhere between $450 and $700, i usually would opt to visit a foreign country...with a killer exchange rate. for me, it's hard to pass up going to Latin America, where i might spend $20-$40 a day and live really well; this includes everything - room/board/sightseeing. where in the USA can you do that? this is certainly not possible in Hawaii...
we'll see what kind of travel is in store for us in 2004. right now, we're just thinking about someplace warm ;) after all, the temp. in Denver is 14 degrees right now. and the good folks in Monte Vista are bundled up for their 4 degrees, which is expected to dip to -6 in a couple hours. lessee here, i just checked Kihei (where Shana lives)...it is 69 degrees as we speak. their high for the next ten days is going to average 80 degrees. is there any question?
must get away...
