Bye bye Maui

Well, my "flu" turned out be strep throat AND pneumonia, which I learned from my emergency room visit after returning to Portland. I spent the rest of my week on Maui mostly feverishly sleeping, although somehow I managed to go see a Cecelio & Kapono concert and visit the Maui Aquarium. I almost didn't make my flight home, I was violently shivering all morning until 2 hours before departure time! (then I sweated buckets walking from security to my gate) I upgraded to First Class just to be as comfortable as possible - the flight attendants confused that I didn't want their free booze or fancy food - I just gave them my best swollen-gland smile and tried to sleep.

So now that I'm feeling human again, 12 days after my first symptoms, I wanted to make this last post and say thanks for reading, and big big love and thanks to my mom Charlene for being a great adventure buddy, and for being the best mom in the world, taking such good care of me - how lucky am I!

Here are a few shots from Maui Aquarium, this a must-see if you ever visit.
