Back From Hawaii... :-(
Been meaning to post this a couple of days back, but I pretty much ended up stepping off the plane and back into work (or at least that is what it feels like 
).
However, while in Hawaii, everything was great. After calling off the BillabongPro Pipeline Masters the first three days of the contest (due to poor waves), it finally got underway and I was able to catch a couple of days of competition (to say nothing of the view on the beach
). Of course, there were pro surfers aplenty to gaze at (and unfortunately, I wussed out on my chance to get my picture taken with Taj Burrow, an Australian pro surfer {read: cute!}). Of course, there was the near fist fight between Sunny Garcia and Neco Padaratz that I just missed getting inadvertently entangled in (due to Sunny feeling that Neco had cut him off from a wave).
Ate at Haleiwa Joe's (very nice Ahi fish), a Thai place that was simply called Haleiwa Eats (extremely nice satay chicken and yellow curry fried rice), as well as a tasty Indian restaurant called Bombay India, where I enjoyed some very tasty Chicken Tikka Masala.
Of course, I got to come home to 10 degree weather after being in 80+ degree weather for the previous week - yeah.
(And yes, I am still working on getting my pictures up -- in the meantime, here are pictures from my previous trip. 
).
