Marcus, a photo for you.
Thanks for the conclusion to your article. As you know, I've been following your, and the dogs' (Thanks by the way for the information about the lovely Chagall. He is a great-looking ambassador for his breed!), adventures in Romania. I will definitely get there one day in the near future -- your report has sealed the deal for me! The pictures you took from the volcano fields of Romania reminded me of one I took last year on my most recent trip to Hawaii. I enjoyed all the stories in your travelogue greatly. Hope 2009 brings us more reporting from you, as you travel the continent in the trusty Ar Gwenn.
Thanks again, and this photo is for you.
Cheers,
Daos

Great pic!
I haven't been to the Big Island, but a regular to Oahu. I guess I need to try the other islands. Do you stay in Hilo? -MW
MW, try the Big Island sometime.
Last year I went to Maui, Oahu, and Hawaii. On Hawaii, we rented a vacation house slightly south of Hilo near the thermal hot springs (about 20 minutes from historic downtown Hilo). The east side of the Big Island is a little sleepier than the western s...
Hawaiian sea turtles and seals....
Your turtle pics brings back fond memories of my first time in Hawaii! Here's a seal that frequents the Ko 'Olina lagoons: Everyone always stops and says 'awwww, how cute!" The first itme I was in Oahu, we went sea kayaking and spotted so much marine life...
Dear all:
I want to thank you for your many kind and positive comments. Originally, I was hesitating to write this travelogue, since I was uncertain whether this kind of post would be a match for a horology-oriented forum. On the other hand, I have to admit that no...
