@ Andy – you only get excited about the blogaversay because you get cake.

@ Janice – yes, I’ll admit I am addicted to Hawaii and as far as I know there is no cure.

@ Dave – well, we’d like to think that we’re good kids. It’s a nice way for us to give back to them for many years of sacrifice. Regarding those stats, between the four us us, we’ll represent 55% of the visitor population by age.

@ Michael – thanks! We decided on Maui because in our mind, it’s the perfect combination of everything for a first time visitor. We’ve booked a day trip over to Oahu, though.

@ Melanie – Cupcake? Cupcake? Just a cupcake? That cake in the photo was our real blog birthday cake. My parents are super excited, especially now that the shock has worn off.

Sheila, I’m incredibly proud of you and I hope your blog gets its very own cupcake today!

Have a wonderful time in Maui, and please take lots of pictures — Adam and I suddenly can’t find all our Maui shots, and we’d love to revisit the island vicariously through you .

Your parents are going to have the trip of a lifetime with you as their guides!

Wow! – Taking the folks to Maui!? What cool kids they have. Everybody should be so lucky. :^)

Please post their thoughts and opinions. DBEDT reported (Total U.S. Visitors to Hawaii by life stage – 2006) that about 30% of our visitors are “Seniors” (55+) and another 25% are “Middle Aged” (35-54). (The rest qualify as “Families with children”, “Young People (18-34)”, & “Honeymooners”)
