Amazing. Thursday went off pretty much as planned, but after that, it was not what we had planned. That was a shadow of the Hukilau we were planning. And the tension for me from Friday on was tremendous. I didn't know if anyone had a good time really. But it seems that you did.

Does anyone recall the lady's name who danced "Lovely Hula Hands" at the Mai Kai? I found out from her son that the song was written for her!

I got home today and am glad to be back. I've had all the Hukilau I can take, but it's not enough. I feel like we were ripped off. Half the event we wanted. I hope there aren't too many regrets. It pains me to think of all the difficulties. I hate that we went from over 700 dinner reservations on Saturday to maybe 120.

I came back up A1A a bit yesterday and it was wasted. Most of the interstate and other road signs were gone. Almost all signs of any type were gone. Tress broken, power poles down, trees with every leaf ripped off. We were lucky in Lauderdale to just have a little wind and rain.

I guess it comes down to the fact that the TC ohana enjoys each others company. That makes it.
