It's almost is like a reality-check to be back from a week long vacation get away. Hawaii was a paradise;  we experienced heaven on earth, literally. Everybody seemed chillaxed, happy, with all smiles; in short it was a life with no planned agendas, no pressing commitments and deadlines. Iit was truly a one of a kind experience. I would compare the feeling with our Disney Land trip a couple of years back, where we felt transformed into another world - a world where only happiness exists ! Wow, I will cherish this feeling always. We most surely will go back to vacation in Hawaii in future. It was a trip spanning 7 nights and 8 days. It reminded me of India, actually. Sounds a little offbeat, but in seeing so many folks walking on the streets, seeing a ton of street vendors, small eat-outs, I really could very well relate to India. Plus, with the scenic Waikiki beach being only minutes away from our hotel, it was too hard to let go on our flight back. Couldnt complain about the

Bad timing, is what I label my cold symptoms this time around. We are packing off to a dream vacation to Hawaii in a day's time, and now both my baby and I are under the weather (meaning feeling sick). I get hit with a cold really bad, twice a year, for sure. Every Aprilish and Novemberish is when I know I am going to fall sick. Weather usually changes in this time in Houston, from either freaking hot to chilly windy; or from chilly cold to warm. Somehow my body knows - first comes a sore throat with pain, then comes a runny nose, then comes the bad evil - the stuffed nose with cough. And not to forget the other add-ons (tired, lazy, sleepy, dull). While I get through these symptoms, the excitement absolutely remains as our countdown to Hawaii trip has begun. Archu has decided all the toys that will board the flight along with us LOL ! Who can avoid the last minute packing ? It happens all the time :-)

You can never please everybody all the time. This is a bare truth, and those of us who have tried would know. There will always be someone somewhere that will not be as pleased as others. But, that's not your fault ! :-) We've all seen these folks - the ones who come to us only when we have succeeded. They would not have thought of us in a long time.
