Remember this?

Man, it doesn't take much to put me back in that place....I can smell the salty air coming off of Kaneohe Bay and feel the crisp wind against my skin. The uneasy conversations going on all around us, trying to avoid the inevitable. Listening to everyone say their goodbyes and cry their tears, hearing "I'll be home soon!" and KNOWING that there is NEVER a guarantee. Devil Docs immediate unit has been blessed...they are returning as a complete unit, no one was lost. I almost feel guilty, because there are so many other units who come back without everyone :(

So, the boys and I are preparing to head to the little dot in the middle of the ocean for one last time. It will be bittersweet. I will so miss my friends, our school, our little piece of paradise. At the same time I will be so glad to have my family together again. A range of emotions.

We plan to eat malasadas, Dole whip, Shrimp truck, Longhi's...maybe some Kobe Steakhouse for good measure! I'm not sure what kind of connectivity I will have, the cable, etc. was turned of when we left so I'll have to try and "borrow" from the neighbors.

I can't wait to replace that picture up there with happiness.
