doing things we could do without doing and enjoying the fact that we're doing it anyway!

whether it's 5 extra minutes at the beach under the topical sun to rub our feet in the warm sand ... one more walk along the length of the beach, kicking at the waves & picking up a few (more) little pieces of coral.

Or stopping for the 3rd time in 2 weeks for a shave ice.  adding ice cream to the bottom of the cup to mix with the fruity syrup as it melts.  (where the employee remembers that Ken likes a GREEN cup)


Or buying an extra bag of toasted coconut coffee, ANOTHER hawaiian Tshirt, decals for the car, a hibiscus printed Starbucks mug, ANOTHER Harley Davidson T (well, actually 2), a pair of flipflops, souveniers for friends & family (many), a papaya for EVERY morning, and undoubtedly other things I can't think of at the moment.....  it's all part of the vacation mindset game.  And we're playing it well!
