By now (assuming things went the way they were planned) we are our way to Maui. See you in two weeks!
Quiet house

We dropped the dogs off at the kennel this afternoon. They were perfectly content to go back, Bender gave us a “hey, where are you going?!” look when we started to leave, but he was back to woofing at his neighbours (a large yellow Labrador on one side and a huge Basset Hound on the other) within ten seconds. Maggie didn’t so much as give us a second look. Too much to sniff.
We came home to a very quiet house. No squeaks of joy at our arrival, no sniffing and wagging as we took off our shoes. No one hounded (heh) us for dinner at three o’clock…three thirty…four o’clock…four thirty…surly it must be five o’clock now! No one woofed and charged at the window when the kids went by, no one freaked out when the doorbell rang. No one has come to paw at me to tell me it’s bedtime (bedtime is serious business around here).
Anyone who has pets knows that something changes when they’re not around. Home feels less like home without them.
At least I know they’re in good hands while we’re away.
2 more days

This weekend was a “nothing but the 90s” weekend on the Fox. My ears were telling me that I had to go back to school tomorrow. I’m getting old I think; I have too much nostalgia for the music from when I was growing up.
We leave for Maui on Tuesday! Finally! We’re staying at a cottage near Napili Bay (a little north of Lahaina). It will be a lot different than our trip to Moloka’i. Moloka’i doesn’t have any building taller than a lamppost, and no traffic lights. But we are staying in a quieter area, so hopefully we will enjoy some peaceful Hawaiian moments like we did on Moloka’i.
