JUST THOUGHT I'D LET YOU KNOW I'M STILL ALIVE!!

Hello my friends (if any of you are still checking my blog)!  I disappeared for a little while, thanks to a rather hastily-arranged trip to Hawaii, but am now back home.  No cards as yet to share ...... I am hoping my mojo returns when I've caught up with all the mountains of washing, and managed to prepare for my upcoming classes.

Just so I share something pictorial in this post, here are a few photos from our lovely warm break away from Melbourne's winter.  My parents-in-law made it possible for our whole family to go to Hawaii with them (a few nights in Honolulu, and a 7-night cruise around the islands).

First stop was Waikiki for a couple of nights:


We then embarked on a cruise around a few of the islands.


Jack (my 15-year-old) was very happy to get the chance to sun himself on Wailea Beach:




One of the touristy things we did was visit a Macadamia nut processing plant:




Saw some awesome sights in Volcanoes National Park:



Here's my littlest buddy, Ethan, in Kona (one of our day stops).  Our cruise ship is in the background:





 My two boys one night on the ship (aren't they handsome?!):





..... and a parting shot, of Waikiki Beach at night:


It's good to be home, and I hope to settle into a crafting routine this coming week.  I'll be back when I have something to share :)
