    Okey dokey! Those are easy enough to find, and like the toffee mac nuts, they're sold in a big, bulk bag. In fact, I brought up a bag for a lady in another house, due to her allergy to chocolate.

    Mary Lyn told me Charlie is under the weather. She suggested something mellow, maybe some ginger snacks? Unless you know what she likes?

    I think she’ll love the ginger... I’ll be sure to let her know!
    Thank you again for being so sweet!
    Xoxo,

    I should be able to make it in time this week. Currently at the commissary doing grocery shopping with my mom and aunty. Last week I was on the plane heading home from LAX . Had trouble with the wireless on the plane and had two children sitting behind me, so that put the kibosh on that. Managed to see Bailey with Imogen's lei, though . Caught up when I got home.

    Day One--Lake Tahoe and Meet the Gang, Saturday 8/31, Part 2

    Now I went across the street to Kit Kat to deliver the last of the goodies, and to meet Cumisha. I saw Kathryn sunning herself outside. She later told me and Cumisha she was in another part of the house and it was freezing, so she stepped out to warm up.

    I buzzed twice and was warmly greeted by Cumisha. She saw the goodies, and announced to the other ladies lounging in the parlor who I was, but more importantly, what I brought. Faces immediately lit up, and a mad scramble for bowls to place the goodies in began. I was also thanked for the previous shipment of goodies I sent, which Cumisha told me was promptly devoured by everyone (including Madame Suzette and Kristopher) at their Tea Party a week prior to my arrival. She said it was the most popular thing there.

    We did a quick tour, discussed the final details of the outdate (the most pressing one was do we party prior, or after we return from the rib festival? We decided to do it first thing. We figured we'd both be hot, sweaty, smelling of smoke, sauce and ribs, and suffering from what we call in Hawaii a kanak attack--basically, eat 'til you sleep kind of thing--from eating too much ribs. Think of the feeling you get after eating Thanksgiving lunch/dinner. That's a kanak attack). I paid for everything in full and we were set. As I was paying, I told Cumisha and the cashier about the trifecta. Cumisha then looked at me and asked, you do know what you're doing, right? When she spoke it aloud like that, it got me to thinking, yeah, WTF am I doing? But my path was set.

    Now that business was out of the way, Cumisha took me back to the kitchen and began to warm up her famous lumpias, and took out the sauces for it. I had warned Cumisha previously that I grew up eating the stuff, so she had a high standard to match.

    She had nothing to fear. Her cooking is excellent, and her lumpias can easily match anything down here, and in some cases, far exceed it. And you cannot beat good home cooking, regardless if it's Filipino (as it was here), Japanese, whatever. That is a plain and universal truth. She also told me that after the outdate, she'll have pancit (Filipino noodles. Think along the lines of Chinese stir fry) and chicken adobo (a marinade type dish) waiting for me. Oh man, I thought. I scored! Good, homemade Filipino food--I rarely get this back in Hawaii! I was all smiles.

    While I was eating, I got a glimpse of life in the house. Kathryn came back inside, sat at the table to talk with us briefly. She looked at me and Cumisha, smiled, and said, "You two make such a cute couple." Cumisha laughed, I nearly choked on a lumpia. Even now, when Cumisha posts pictures of the rib festival, I don't remember the festival first; the first thing I hear in my head is Kathryn saying we're a cute couple.

    A couple of the girls came in. One had been treated rudely by a prospective client and she was steamed (said client was shown the door and basically told don't let the doorknob hit you in the butt). She calmed down and we all listened to her vent. I offered my two cents then (they all knew I was with Cumisha) and basically agreed with the ladies. I told them the golden rule I always say on the message board and livestream: don't be a dick. Yes, your job is to service clients and to insure maximum pleasure, but it also means that the client should respect and take care of the worker. It's the just and right thing to do. One of the girls wholeheartedly agreed with me, and to her I added the corollary to the rule: Don't be a dick, because there's always someone out there with a bigger dick than yours. That was met with a confused look initially but she understood it after a while.

    The girls asked where I was going with Cumisha. I told them I just finished setting everything up for the rib festival outdate. They looked with both dreamy and envious eyes and wished they could go and eat ribs. Cumisha then said she'll bring back a rack or two. I then chimed in, yeah, we'll bring back ribs, but they saw that devious look I had. What do you mean, asked the lady who agreed with my don't be a dick rule. Well, we'll bring back ribs--the bones of the ones me and Cumisha ate, and the bones of the rack she buys for you. She was stunned. Are you serious?, she mutters. Well, you said bring back RIBS. You didn't specify it had to have meat on them. And if we pack it within easy reach, I can't guarantee their safety on the ride back. The look I got...I think if I actually did that, she would've ripped out my ribs out of my body and eat them in revenge. Then I smiled and said, just kidding! Cumisha would never allow me to do that. The girls were relieved.

    Somewhere amongst all of this, I got a text from Benz. He was asking where I was, and why I wasn't at the Bunny Ranch. I forgot that I was going there, with the lumpias, the girls encounter with the rude client and the teasing. I told him I was doing something important--eating Cumisha's lumpias. I also asked him what's up? Benz texted back that Kiteh and Glip (a message board and livestream member who also came from Hawaii) were asking where I was. I later found out during the BR livestream, Kiteh began to wonder where I was, so she put a general question out. When she didn't get a reply, she asked Glip, since she knew from our interactions on the various livestreams we were both from Hawaii and I communicated with him there. Glip fires back that he hasn't seen me, heck, no one has seen me and besides, I'm not his babysitter. Benz then comes in and says he heard from me earlier that morning and that I was going sight seeing at Tahoe. Kiteh, in her typical humor, then says I probably got eaten by a bear at Tahoe. But she then added she got the goodies I sent forward with the staff member, so I was around someplace.

    An older gentleman was walking around the house and stopped by the kitchen. Cumisha introduced me to Uncle Bob, who helped write Dennis' book and was his business partner. We did some small talk, and when he found out I came from Hawaii, he broke out several stories about his travels there. They were absolutely hilarious, but the one about his misadventures during a hike in the Volcano National Park--that is a classic. I won't say what it was, but I will say his solution for leaving a message would make MacGyver proud.

    With the lumpias gone, and the evening growing late, Cumisha sent me off. What I didn't know at the time was Twitter was lighting up from Abby and Christine and between them as well. They were talking about meeting me and the gifts they received. I found out later, along with seeing the BR livestream, when I got back to the hotel. Then it was a shower and get ready for bed. It had been a long, exciting day. But I needed to rest, for the trifecta of fun will truly begin the next day, with the main reason why I travelled from so far away: Christine Fowler.

    Day Two--It's Just Like The Prom! Love Ranch North, Duke's and Marriott, Sunday 9/1, Part 1

    I managed to sleep in that morning, as I finally got adjusted to my new time zone. I planned to keep it a quiet and light day, for my evening would be full of activity....

    Christine and I exchanged messages through out the day, talking about the livestream bear comments, the lei I was going to give her (I sent her a picture of it), her upcoming trips and all other different types of things. We finally signed off around 4:30 p.m. or so to get ready for pickup at LRN at 5:30 p.m. I let her know I was coming around 5:10 p.m. and left the hotel for the ranch.

    Honestly, I felt a little nervous and giddy as I headed towards the ranch. It was finally becoming real, and I was going to be in the company of vibrant, wonderful young lady. It was the natural conclusion of our various messages, texts, stories and finally meeting in person, to finally see each other with our own eyes, to feel each other physically, and to get that special bond that only a personal meeting can provide. But if I was giddy, I think Christine was almost besides herself. In the weeks leading up to this, on the livestream my name was slowly slipping out from her, in little hints here and there, then it became a trickle, until she finally announced that I was coming and we were going to have a we vibe date together. I told her that my identity, our date and connection was probably the most openly known secret at the ranch, to which she humorously agreed. And when she announced that we were going on an outdate on the livestream, everyone began to congratulate me. So much so, the hostess and co-hostesses, asked what was happening on the comments, told the audience that everyone was too busy congratulating me. :)

    I arrived and got buzzed in. A staff member came out, took one look at me and just confirmed that I was there for Christine (again, we're the open secret of the ranch) and went to fetch her. She came back a couple of minutes later, saying she was still getting ready and that she knew I was there. I was further told that Sasha Love was helping with her hair, hence the delay. So I waited in the parlor.

    A few more minutes pass, and the same staff member came out to check on me and asked if I wanted anything to drink. I said no thanks. Just then, I heard someone running down the hallway and saw a flash of Sasha, robe fluttering as she ran by, holding a hair brush in one hand as she dashed off. She must've seen me, for she quickly backtracked and said, "She's almost ready! Just a couple of more minutes!" And then she dashed off again.

    The staff member and I looked at each other, and I told her, you know what this reminds me of? No, she said. This reminds me of the prom, I told her. It has all the classic earmarks: the young man patiently waiting, the young lady being primped, and a mother figure running crazy getting her daughter ready.

    A brief digression: When Sasha spoke to me, her robe was open to reveal her considerable....assets. And they are as formidable as they appear on livestream and on the web. While my focus is on Christine, that does not mean one cannot admire and appreciate such mammoth beauty. But back to the story....

    Finally, Christine appeared and it was worth the wait. She carried a bag, prepped for the night and ready for a possible overnighter. She was wearing a little red lacy number covered by a jacket and skirt. The staff member joked that when can you go out on a date in your underwear? With some last minute instructions and administrative details to take care of, she wished us to have a good time and sent us off.

    We loaded my SUV, and we're soon heading down the road towards Carson City. Christine apologized for the delay, explaining that when we signed off, she was getting ready for the outdate. She was going to wear a simple black dress. But Sasha came in and told her, no, no, that's too plain and it immediately turned into a production. I chose Sunday because it was slow but what I didn't factor in was that if you're the only outdate during that time, you automatically became everyone's concern. Thus Sasha spruced up Christine's wardrobe and hair, basically telling her that she was going to add some zing to Christine to impress me. I would've been happy if Christine came out in a paper bag but I did appreciate Sasha's efforts, for it did spice up the night. We talked about some other things, like Christine's upcoming trips. She also began programming my phone for the we vibe. But basically, we were both happy that we were together and this was finally, truly happening.

    We were soon back at the Marriott. I parked the SUV there, and we left her bag in there as well. Then we walked to Duke's, which is located inside of Casino Fandango, next door to the Marriott.

    Great review! You might want to put this in real life experiences at the ranches rather than general discussion. General discussions are reviewed and old threads I think get deleted if not updated. This is a great review/thread. You will see the reviews on the other category, but up to you. Love this experience!

    I was thinking the same thing. Real life ranch report threads stay, General discussion threads can get stale and moved to the archives. @hikino if and when you want me to move this thread to the Real Life Ranch Reports forum, just let me know. As a moderator, that's one of the things I can do.

    Imogen, does Bailey have a birthday or special event coming up soon? Maybe I can send a lei up to her for that? Now that I think about it, Abby is taking a month off soon, maybe I should give her a lei too.

    I'll take you up on your suggestion. Isurfer offered to help move the thread and agrees with you. I'll move it upon completion; I'm about 1/3 of the way thru it. After Christine, I still need to write about the outdates with Cumisha and Imogen, and going home.

    And if you were there with me at LRN, you would think that we were picking up our prom date and she was still doing all the last minute prep. But the funniest memory I'll have of that night is that flash of Sasha Love running down the hall in heels, robe fluttering in the breeze, with the hair brush in hand. :p:D

    Day Two--It's Just Like The Prom! Love Ranch North, Duke's and Marriott, Sunday 9/1, Part 2

    We arrived at Duke's, after walking thru most of Casino Fandango. It's located in the back of the casino, tucked behind the volcano (as seen in Christine's pictures).

    When I mentioned to Cumisha I was taking Christine to Duke's, she immediately gave me a listing of who I needed to serve us (get Alex if you can, folks), and what I needed to order, from appetizers to desserts. My poor little mind was trying to absorb all of this information. But to make it easy for the readers, I suggest you view the 9/6/19 Love Ranch North livestream hosted by Cumisha and co-hosted by Christine where Cumisha, Christine and the ladies suggest what to have at Duke's (Cumisha gives the same information there she imparted to me). I also believe, either in her own threads or in Alice Little's, that information is also given. I'll research it and post the appropriate links. I will say that Duke's got enough free plugs during the livestream! Can I get a discount if/when I go back, hmmm?

    Cumisha was glad I made the reservation, but suggested that I also tell them that we wanted Alex as our server. However, in my haste, I forgot to do so. I told Christine this (I had also tried to relay to her what Cumisha told me) but we decided to take our chances. But fortune favors the bold and the foolish, for we lucked out and ended up with Alex, after all (I had to make sure. He did fit Cumisha's description and after a couple of questions, I knew we got the right guy).

    Dinner was amazing, not only because of the setting, the excellent food and the service, but with the company of the lady I was with. The only glitch of the evening was that we couldn't get the we vibe remote control app to work. Christine did tell me that there was a manual override on the device itself, so we both were determined to ensure THAT worked....;)

    But the highlight of dinner was dessert, and this is why you need Alex. Cumisha informed me that Alex was a pro at the flaming desserts, and highly recommended a flaming Cajun dessert (sorry Cumisha, I can't remember the name of it right now. As I write this, it's near my dinner time so that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it....:D), and he teaches everyone else at Duke's in technique. We didn't go with what Cumisha recommended (we didn't go with almost everything she told me except getting Alex) but we saw a Banana Fosters being prepared earlier and inquired Alex about it. We both decided to get that and regardless of whatever flaming dessert you get, Alex will not disappoint you. His presentation is excellent and if you go to Christine's threads, she filmed him preparing it. It was an excellent way to end an excellent meal.

    With our tummies happy, we set out to make the rest of us happy. We stopped by the SUV, retrieved her bag and retired to my room at the Marriott.

    Of course, I can't go into details on our activities but Christine is a wonderful, playful lover. That we connected so well beforehand only enhanced our encounter. As the night wore on, we both smiled at each other and knew we were doing an overnight. So with that, she called in again to the ranch (she checked in previously after we got to my room) to announce our overnighter, and after some administrative and payment details, we were set. I didn't have to bring her back to the ranch until 7:30 a.m. Monday morning.

    Again, I can't say too much but here are some of the more humorous (and SFW) moments I can reveal:

    1) Christine, getting thirsty from our activities, puts on her black robe, takes my keycard, her credit card and i.d., to buy some wine from the front desk. Upon her return, she tells me that a guy (with his lady) was busy checking her out in the hallway. Well, the man does have good taste. ;)

    2) The front desk gave her a corkscrew but sadly, we couldn't figure it out (hey, I don't drink so I don't know). So off she went to the front desk again to get their help, which she did. However, no one was checking her out this time. She was impressed that they did give her an actual wine glass, so she didn't have to drink out of the regular hotel glasses in the room.

    3) We took a break and snuggled on the couch watching some TV. We came across an old episode of Whose Line Is It Anyway (when Drew Carey was hosting). They did a skit about bears. We both had a good laugh at that one, since I told her about Kiteh's remark during the BR livestream about me being eaten by the Tahoe bears.

    4) When I finally got the manual override on the we vibe going, it felt like I was in an episode of Star Trek. Mr. Sulu just told Captain Kirk that the automation wasn't working right, and Kirk orders Sulu to engage the manual override. Of course it works!

    5) I firmly believe that one should not only receive pleasure, but give it as well. Christine did a fantastic job in pleasuring me, and I returned the favor--many times over. :eek::)

    6) The simple, pure joy of cuddling your lover after a long, productive, fun filled night.

    It was a great way to start the trifecta of fun, and to finally have the natural, physical conclusion of our shared connection. Tomorrow, it would be a full day with Cumisha, ribs and finally meeting up with Imogen Steele as she returned from her short vacation to San Francisco.

    Day Three--Ribs, and Glen Tries His Hand At Gambling Marriott, Love Ranch North, Kit Kat Ranch, Sparks NV, Sagebrush Ranch, Monday 9/2, Part 1

    Christine and I woke up early, had a last bit of fun, showered, packed her things and got dressed. I took her back to LRN for her 7:30 a.m. return. We said our goodbyes for now, as she wanted me to stop by on Wednesday morning when I left the hotel but prior to heading to Reno for the rental car turn in and flight home for her to make me breakfast. And speaking of which, I returned back to the hotel to eat breakfast, freshened up a bit and then went back to the cul de sac for my meeting with Cumisha.

    I parked next to her red SUV, which I called the "cushy Cumi chariot" in our messages. I buzzed in and was warmly greeted by Cumisha. Having made the decision to party first, we went to her room and got down to business.

    This was just before she made her move over to LRN, and from what I saw from her pictures, she set up the room there exactly like how she had it at Kit Kat. It's a warm, inviting room with style. She has her piano there, and she asked me if she wanted me to hear her play. I declined, since it was a little early in the morning (and I was a little groggy from lack of sleep from the previous night's activities). Frankly, I was at somewhat at a loss. With Christine and Imogen, I established a good connection, so we kind of knew what we wanted in terms of fun. As I mentioned previously, Cumisha and the rib festival outdate was sort of a last minute addition, and one that completed the trifecta of fun. As such, I wasn't too sure what I could do or ask out of her. But Cumisha, being the wise, experienced hand at this, must've seen and sensed my hesitation and she gently took charge and made suggestions. Thus, we started with a massage and eased into our fun. She is a gracious, fun lover, and she humorously introduced me to the "girls" :). In a sense, when you have Cumisha, you are really getting a PSE, and while we didn't get that wild, in the back portion of my mind I was thinking, Holy Sh*t! I'm actually getting it on with a porn star! Ah, those little joys in life mean so much!

    After we were done, cleaned up and got dressed, Cumisha and I headed for the office to get checked out and to pick up the address information for the festival. She had also dug out her cooler bag for us to haul back ribs for the ladies, as well as rib sauce from Awesome Aussie, which she said was the best sauce and ribs of the bunch (and she was right). We were having trouble finding the information on our phones, so after she finished signing out, Cumisha had the cashier find it for us on her desktop. With information in hand, we headed to the cushy Cumi chariot, loaded the address into the navigation system, and we were off.

    The festival was held in Sparks, right by the Nugget Hotel and Casino. Cumisha remembered the layout and parking from the year before, so she immediately zoomed in for a parking structure which allowed us to use a covered, air conditioned walkway straight into the Nugget. We then went across the Nugget, used their bathrooms, and then entered the rib festival directly. She immediately got her bearings and off we went in search of good ribs.

    It was a clear, hot day but it seemed so appropriate for such a festival. We immediately found Awesome Aussie and got us a sampler plate, and rib sauces. Those were promptly put in the cooler bag, and guess who was the pack mule? Oh well, she did provided transportation and paid for expenses, so the least I can do is pack mule. We found a space under a tree and proceeded to eat. Shade, as you can imagine, was at a premium that day. Those were some good ribs! Cumisha took pictures and those are the ones posted here.

    We also found a shave ice place, though we didn't try it. But we knew we had to get a picture of it. Since she spent time in Hawaii, and I live there, we know shave ice. We both questioned the quality of it and the syrup but we decided we had better things to try. Like more ribs!

    We found the other place she wanted to try, a Texan one. We also bought a plate from them, and this time, we lucked out by finding a big tent with tables to sit on. And Cumisha was overjoyed to find that a live band was playing there, so it made everything complete. We ate, and compared rib notes. We agreed that Awesome Aussie was better (sorry, Texas. Looks like the U.S. lost to imports, again) and she went off to check out the band up close. I finished up my plate and looked over to see another shave ice tent set up close by. But if we thought the first one was kind of sketchy, this one, compared against what I have here, was ghetto! They set up a separate stand with nozzles, where you pump out your own syrup. Wrong! Do not pass go! The right way is for the server to pour the syrup on your shave ice, and they have it down to an art. Plus you know the quality of the ingredients. Here, you don't know and if you mess up, no one to blame but yourself. Folks, I recommend you try shave ice here, from a reputable place and you'll see and taste the difference.

    Cumisha got slightly lost trying to find me in the tent, so she called me (as a precaution prior to the outdate, we gave each other our phone numbers) and I came over to her. We then went back to Awesome Aussie to get ribs for the ladies back at Kit Kat. Then we went back to the Nugget to cool off in their air conditioning, and to try our hand at the machines.

    Day Three--Ribs, and Glen Tries His Hand At Gambling Marriott, Love Ranch North, Kit Kat Ranch, Sparks NV, Sagebrush Ranch, Monday 9/2, Part 2

    We were back inside of the Nugget's casino. After using their facilities again, Cumisha suggested we give the slot machines a try. We were going to test out her mother's theory about which machines would be hot (sorry, I won't divulge that theory. You'll need to ask Cumisha). And apparently, the theory was accurate, for Cumisha was observing a machine and a player while I was in the restroom. She told me that the machine won three times running but we couldn't get to use it, because the player there also knew the machine was hot. After waiting a bit, we wandered off and tried our luck at a different set of machines. We tried and she did well initially. Sadly, the theory does not transfer to non family members, and like many a Hawaii resident that goes to Nevada (primarily Vegas) I made a deposit. And after a while, even Cumisha's luck ran out but she still came out okay.

    We saw a machine that was advertising an $11k jackpot. Cumisha asked me what I would do with that money if I won it. I did some fast math in my head, and then I told her it would pay for the outdates. BOA would be both happy and sad if I did win that jackpot. Happy I paid the bill quickly, but sad I paid it so quickly they couldn't charge me interest. Oh well, it's nice to dream.

    We headed back to Carson City, with rib sauce and a couple of racks of ribs in hand. Cumisha also told me she had my pancit and chicken adobo waiting back at the ranch for me. It would be a nice way to cap off the ribs. She had made it the day prior, saved some for me and put my name on it. Then she texted me a picture of it and told me it was ready and waiting for me upon completion of our outdate (Christine and I got a laugh out of that, because the text came during our outdate and I showed it to her).

    We got back to Kit Kat, and proudly announced we had ribs! Of course, couple of the ladies in the parlor were there prior when I made the joke about bringing back ribs (with no meat on them, and I would eat the ribs Cumisha bought for them). I could see the stink eye beginning to form on their faces when I told them, relax, everything is intact, Cumisha would never allow me to do such a thing. Which was then followed by relief, and anticipation of ribs. We then headed to the kitchen in the back. Cumisha then began to warm up the pancit and adobo, while placing the ribs on the table. I unloaded the rib sauce and settled in, waiting for the meal.

    Cumisha then announced everything was ready and I swear half of the lineup came in. They dug in with gusto and happily applied rib sauce. I also happily dug into my home cooked meal from Cumisha and joked with the girls that no one better show up now because half of the lineup is going to smell like ribs, have sauce all over their mouths, and if they get a client and get busy, he'll taste rib sauce. As for me, I was one happy camper. Ribs and then home made Filipino food? Winner winner chicken dinner!

    By then, it was about 4 p.m. or so, and Imogen would be returning back to Sagebrush. So I thanked Cumisha for a wonderful time, and excused myself. I then walked out of Kit Kat to cross the cul de sac to Sagebrush.

    I would be most remiss in my duties if I did not mention how great Cumisha is. She is a charming, humorous, bubbly hostess. The running joke in Kit Kat was she was the ultimate hostess, and she knew everything and every place, and whom ever got her, he was getting the best. Indeed, whenever I questioned Cumisha on places to eat or where to go, she immediately churned out a list of recommendations, what to do, where to eat, who to get to serve you, etc. She was a fountain of knowledge and advice.

    As I stated, she also remembered the layout of the festival and who to see. She was the perfect guide for that day. I'm sure I would've had a great time with any other lady if we went there, but there is a difference between stumbling around and having a laser focus for the job at hand. Cumisha made effective use of our time and guided us to the best ribs. You couldn't ask for anything better. I even learned a thing or two about the hot machines via her mother's theory. Sadly, I don't think it works as effectively for non family members.

    I've also stated that when you party with Cumisha, you are in a very real sense having an actual PSE. She is delightful, experienced and playful. If she sees you need help, or you're unsure, she gently take control and make suggestions. She guides things so that both parties will have fun and enjoy every moment.

    I am most grateful to her, and I hope I managed to make her happy during our time together.

    I sent a message to Mary Lynn on her profile page but I'll relay it here to you as well. I mailed out the goodie box, to include a big ol' bag of mac nuts for you, on Tuesday. Estimated arrival date is this Friday, 9/20. My last check showed the box in transit, so the next update should show it arriving at Reno late Thursday night/early Friday morning.

    The box contains goodies for you, Charlie and Mary. I have the breakdown written down on the card I enclosed. Enjoy!

    I hope so too. I think we will be more busy swapping notes about Hawaii than doing an actual party.....

    And speaking of which, are you back up there? I thought you were going to take a break down here, and then proceed with your yoga vacation?

    Any special occasion for you coming up? I pretty much have the whole lei thing wired now. As long as it goes to the ranches, and not trying to intercept me at a hotel, it all goes smoothly.

    Well, for your property you'll need a blessing and leis!

    How long is your tour now? Depending how fast I can get things together, and which lei I order, it can be there towards the back end of next week.

    Oh yeah, I forgot to ask you, but how was your flight back here? I know you were leaving at zero dark thirty on the same day as me (9/4) and that you were planning on just staying up the night, and sleeping on the plane (why not? After you leave the coast, there's nothing to see until you're about 1 hour from landing in Hawaii).
