Waimea Wahine
“New” is the weekly photo challenge. This picture is of me in Hawaii at Waimea a few years ago. It was my first time visiting so I was a newbie. But, this photo also represents my vision for my newly retired self. More trips to Hawaii I always say!

For your next Hawaii trip, check out my sister’s retreat center on the north shore of Hawaii Island:
http://www.hawaiiislandretreat.com It’s an award winning sustainable small hotel, vegetable gardens, wild rocky coast, and great food. Reasonably prices too, esp. in the off-season.

I went to Hawaii once, a while ago, and it was great. It’s a long flight from Texas, but worth it when you get there. I would love to go again.
