Next week Wednesday Tony, the kids and I will board a plane for Hawaii. They've never been. I've been maybe 6 times. We're going to Maui. I plan on doing lots of snorkeling. I love floating around chasing brightly colored fish. I plan on teaching them to snorkel too.
Not sure what exactly we'll be doing, but there's Hana, Haleakala, Iao needle, an aquarium, glass bottom boats, lots of sunbathing and swimming, and possible excursions to Molokini, Lanai, etc. I've done all that, so I'll let them vote.
Thank you Health Net for the nice severance payment and aloha!!!

Kids were surely thrilled when they heard this good news and felt that every moment seemed an eternity until they reach there.It happened that next Wednesday is our Dragon Boat Festival-the 5th day of the 5th lunar month.By that time We will eat "Zongzi"-a kind of pyramid-shaped dumpling made of glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves and watch dragon-shaped boats racing according to tradition.

They were happy to hear it, but right now they are in Southern California visiting family, also Disneyland, Universal Studios and California Adventure!
Sounds like fun...

you deserve every penny of it and you all deserve a grand vacation. 
so where will you be staying and how long will you be away?
it's so much easier to pack when you're going to a warm and sunny place.
you've been there 6 times. what do you like cooking, eating and drinking there?

Maui for a week. Cooking, not so much eating, pretty much everything...

Have a great trip! I have never been to Hawaii, but it's on my short list of places to visit, maybe even next year.

be sure to pack lots of sunblock!! (sorry, that is the first thing that pops into my head, due to my very light skin and the fact that i get a sunburn after 15 minutes in even indirect sunlight LOL....blame is on my intense swedish background)....have fun and enjoy! sounds like an amazing trip....

I've had a few bad burns on trips like this, had to go snorkeling in tshirt and pants because of it, so yeah, not making that mistake again
