aloha

well it's out lat post FROM hawaii, but there will be more once we get back (at least from me...wait these are all from me).

i (rits) spent the last days in oahu..jumped off a cliff into the ocean, did a 6 mile hike to an amazing waterfall, hung out on some of the most beautiful beaches on these islands....it was AMAZING!!! visiting my friend toby was beyond words. wow.

ruk fell asleep in the sun and as a result we can longer see him....he is just a walking shadow.

woke up at 3AM and drove up the volcano to see the sun rise...spectacular...everything stressful about the world washes away when u watch the sun rise from the top of a volcano and then jump into the ocean when you get back.

this trip has been such an amazing experience on so many levels. long talks with ruk on the beach late night (and by late i mean 9PM due to jet lag...which im only now over, now that we are leaving)....amazing food. amazing beaches, scenery, energy. i feel like a new woman and ruk does too.

being able to really just chill out and vacation with someone else is a rare thing. ruk and i do it well together. personally, found a long needed sense of shanti here and i thank my faux hubbby ruk for that. something about swimming into an endless ocean makes you realize that you can really take anything that life has to offer you with a smile....even when you don't want to. .

ruk and i don't want to leave. but we have to. and that is sad. but we had this incredible vacation that makes all the noise of new york okay.

so maybe ruk is disconnected and i can't commit to even a newspaper subscription but it's all good because it turns out that the world is a little bigger than we tend to think in our microcosm of NYC. and that's about as philosophical as i will get in a silly blog.

from ruk: i never want to leave. (frankly, that's more deep than the usual coming out him....ha).

photos to be posted on flickr...ad i will edit so that u dont have to endure 10001 picture....cuz there are literally that many.

we're on our way *home*. lovesNb (and rJr)
