December 18, 2007 - Top 5 Pictures of the Day

Each day I think I have had the hardest time picking the top 5 - and it is very very true. I have so many pictures that I just may have to change it from top 5 to top 10 - seriously!

December 17, 2007 - Top 5 Pictures of the Day

Number of Pictures taken: 120 / Number of Pictures to post: 5

December 16, 2007 Top Five Pictures of the Day

The one thing about being here - is that a person takes an average of about 20 - 30 pictures on any given day - and that is actually on the low end of it all (I think it has a lot to do with how many times you have visited Hawaii or the actual place you are taking pictures at...) So I am choosing only the top 5 pictures each day to share - because it takes a bit to do all this stuff ;) and I want to get on with livin aloha! No worries, when (and IF) we return to MA - I will need to post the other pictures as a reminder of how much fun I had - and how much I want to go back!
