We recently returned from our annual trip to Hawaii with a new appreciation for the term "Rainiest place on earth". The sky was heavy with clouds and it rained, sideways, for most of our trip. We hunkered down, wore all the clothes we brought with us all at one time, visited an orchid farm on one sunny afternoon, and beach combed to our hearts content. It was lovely, in spite of the state of emergency declared by the governor, the tornado, the softball sized hail, and the roads & bridges that were washed out.
