Aloha Bruddas!! (huge pics)

Dylan and I made it back home safely and happy. Him to see Mommy and me to sleep in my own bed. The trip was near perfect, except for the barfing inccident on the way, LOL!!

It was great to see my family and my brother especially. Been awhile since the two of us hung out. I took literally a hundred pics, but here is just a quick couple I picked.

The reason we went was this birthday girl, she turned the big one. We had a luau that had over two hundred people there for this little princess.


After the plane ride Dylan decided to stay on land transportaion for a bit.





He also hung out with his favorite Papa Denny.



Then it was time to bid aloha to my former home and get on the plane. At least according to Dylan.




That is the watch that came to me while in Hawaii, I actually wore it most of the time. It is the Pepsi, but I am sourcing a black bezel as we speak. I do sort of like the Pepsi though and that scares me just a little. I missed you guys and once I get back in my routine I will be back on very regular. Glad to be home.

Aloha!!!

Welcome back my man. Glad you guys had a good time and hung out with your brother and his family. That's what's most important in life. Your niece is just as beautiful as Dylan. They kind of resemble each other a bit. Great pics also. Missed you and your posts.

BTW, great pick up on the GMTII. How are you diggin it so far?

Thanks Paulie, I am glad to be home.

I like the GMT, it is the second time I have owned one, LOL!! The first time with the Pepsi, and I kinda like the loudness of it. These babies are comfy on the wrist. I think I just like having the GMT function, like the 88.

Welcome back, D. Glad you had a great time and trust the trip home was less eventful than the outbound leg.

Keep JJ in line? Now that's funny. It's easier to herd cats.

Love the pics. Post some more when you get a chance.

Oh, and great acquisition. Looks good on Dylan, too.

Glad to see you had a fun, safe, and watch filled trip Daren! Woa, I'm back too. Schweet! Awesome new watch too. I really like the pepsi GMT II. If for some reason there were no more Submariners on earth, I would probably get the pepsi.

Welcome back, Tyler. How did the exams go? Did you go out and get drunk after you finished the last one?

Beer should only be used as a chaser.
