The pictures say it all..
Unique flora and fauna, waterfalls galore, pristine beaches, lava everywhere, active volcano within sight...
A long weekend well spent with the family of 10 people including a personalized snorkeling trip at Kealakekua bay (gateway to the gods)!
This trip will be cherished for a long time to come. We celebrated Jr. and the FIL's birthday in Hawaii's big island.
More later. For now it is time to catch up on the routine!

Or so said the Nurse last night at the Kaiser emergency room..
In a surprising turn of events, the surgical scar in the right hand had a small rip and pus started coming out.
Worried that the right hand was rotting on the inside, a trip to the hospital regular care ended up being redirected to ER.
Two hours later the doctor looked it up under a lens and lights and said
"your body is not degrading the bio-degradable sutures. instead it is attacking the small pieces left with white blood cells"
Apparently not uncommon!
They pulled out a small suture piece and cleaned it up and sent me home with antibiotics..
Interesting, to say the least!

The first grand bash of this month was done today!
The girls turn(ed) 9 and 6 on either side of this weekend!
The kids had a great time with all their friends and played in a Gym. They love this place so much that they want to keep having their birthday parties here year after year.
The best part of this birthday?
The kids have turned a major milestone this year. They have learned the art of emotional blackmail. They called their "Bombay Thatha" on the phone repeatedly and said "Grandpa, you have not been here for a single one of of our birthdays. Please come at least for this one".. etc. etc. This happened repeatedly over many weekends that Grandpa gave in and booked tickets for a short 3 week trip!
In other words, they have succeeded in making their puppy face technique work on another male member in the family. Needless to say, it always works on me.
Now we just have to wait for Daddy and Mommy to turn 29 and 29 in another two weeks!
