Thanksgiving Luau and Hawai'ian Wedding Bells
Hi everyone... I hope you all had a good Thanksgiving last week (at least for those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving, which is a decidedly American holiday). Susanne and I spent the week in Hawaii to participate in the wedding of two of our friends. Susanne served as one of the bridesmaids, while I became the defacto wedding planner, coordinating the wedding rehearsal and serving as liaison with the staff of the reception site. It's the first wedding we've attended since our own wedding last May, and it was a lot of fun. And it certainly didn't hurt that we had to go to Hawai'i for the wedding. The trip flew by very quickly, faster than you can say "aloha" (or "Israel Kamakawiwo'ole" if you prefer a bigger mouthful). We spent a week in Oahu, dividing our time between my aunt and uncle's condo in Waikiki to a group beach house we shared with friends of the bride and groom in Lanikai -- perhaps the prettiest beach on the island. Susanne and I also managed to take a whirlwind tour of the North Shore, where we got to see all the pro surfers practicing for the Triple Crown of Surfing. All in all it was a marvelous trip; we'll certainly have to go back at some point in the next few years... -ac
