Hawaii was GORGEOUS - and now I'm back in grey dark chilly Toronto

Had a wonderful time.

Went ziplining and snorkelling (four times) and up in a helicopter and rock climbing .... it was fabulous.

Maui was a wee bit bit disappointing because of how Americanized and overdeveloped parts of the island were.

Kauai was absolutely amazing, much more natural, and the Hawaiian culture is celebrated much more sincerely there.

I was pretty good nutrition-wise while there - tried to keep it to small portions, and tried to keep it protein-heavy, carb-poor.

My travel companions were absolute carb-addicts, so that was a little difficult.

Have yet to weigh myself, but my clothes are looser than when I left, so I think I'm probably good.

Anyway, wanted to let all my OH buddies know I'm back in the land of the maple leaf. Missed you all!

Welcome home, Gaby-Gabs! I missed you! XO  I'm glad you had a fabulous time - good for you.  Though, I am a tad miffed that you didn't pack me in your suitcase. LOL

Okay, listen up.  I am hosting lunch at the Clarkson Pump and Patio on DECEMBER 1 at 12:30.  MANY peeps are coming and I would love to see you and Wendy.

LET ME KNOW.

Welcome back. Hope you come to the lunch on December 1st. Would love to meet you

Pat, I'm so thrilled that you're coming to lunch. Can't wait to meet you :)

Welcome back Gaby!! I can't wait to meet so many people on the 1st!! Yay!!! You can come too yes?

December 1, Clarkson Pump - I'm there! Pretty sure Wendy will be too.

Thanks for organizing Karen, you're a gem!

YAY! Looking forward to seeing you.  12:30 PM.

I would love to go to Hawaii again.  I was there in 2001 and my friends are going in 2013...but I am now retiring so not sure if my funds will allow.

Looking forward to seeing you on December 1st.
