I've just returned from four days in Hawaii. I can tell you this; I need to take longer vacations. The warm sun wins over the humidity any day. The blue waters consume my mind as I return home to Portland Oregon and freezing temperatures. One other thing, SCUBA diving isn't as easy as it looks. I tried or, I FREAKED out. My friend who owns Reef Pirates Diving on Oahu is as patient as a paternal parent and I still couldn't get below 10 feet of water. Oh well, better luck next time.

Before I left I thought I would update you on women bloggers in Hawaii. Where are the Hawaiian bloggers? Here are a couple of Hawaiian bloggers I found that need to be added to our blogrolls. Please email me with more Hawaiian bloggers or invite them yourself to join the blog rolls.
