Like you, I bet it hasn't changed much at all. I think Andy has gotten over any insecurities from reading this post. He knows he's still my first love. Plus, he knows that it's impossible to marry an island. ;) Aw, Evelyn, thank you for putting up with my sappiness. )

I'm still in love with your story about renting a Jeep on Lana'i and how bumpy it was. I've been thinking about Lana'i ever since! Haven't been there for a very, very, very long time! Somehow I don't think it's changed much. :) Can't say the same thing about O'ahu. The best part of this post has got to be Andy's comment. I love it! You guys are too cute! Giggles!

I'm honored at the thought that you might look forward to reading more of this blog. Just don't be alarmed if you see me saying, "Aloha y'all"....just kidding! :) You might be interested to know that North Carolina is expecting a big snow storm starting tomorrow night. In Raleigh, a covering of snow is a bit of a novelty, so we're excited. It's a good thing we have our Mike Carroll art because we'll probably need to look at it this weekend to warm up. ;-) We so look forward to visiting again. Thank you and Kathy for your warm aloha. Mike,

Thanks for your comment and invite to the Hotel Lanai. I would love to visit sometime. I've heard good things about the inn and restaurant. I've visited Lana'i twice now. The first time, Lanai Hotel was closed for renovations. This last time, I was hoping to pop by and say hello, but time got away from me. Seems like I never have enough time there. On the surface it seems that there's not much to do in Lanai, but I've discovered that's far from the truth. Thank you for giving me an excuse to return to beautiful Lanai. :) Aloha Mary Charles!

We did the same thing many years ago and ended up building a home and buying the historic Hotel Lanai and restaurant Lanai City Grille. We would love to have you stay with us on your next visit. While we are not the fabulous Four Seasons we have the charm and love of Lanai that you speak about in our lovely, little Inn. Our restaurant also is overseen by Bev Gannon, so if you loved Haiile Maile you will equally love Lanai City Grille. The food is wonderful and the atmosphere has a special energy as locals and visitors inter-mingle in our relaxed setting. Please come for a visit and be our guest!

And you're right, that isn't a bad photo...I have both eyes open and no paint in my hair. Notice how I strategically held your painting over my mid-section...all those years of Carolina BBQ, then Maryland Crab cakes, then Chicago deep-dish pizza, and now Spam Musubi and Fire Rock Ale have taken a toll on the old waistline! We look forward to reading more of your insights, and welcoming you back to Lana'i, Mike Aloha Sheila,

It just one of several more (detailed) articles to come. This weekend we had a chance to hang all the wonderful pieces art you created. We love them! We have the outrigger canoe oil original placed where it's the first thing we see when we walk out of our bedroom. It's a perfect fit there. We hope to make our way back to Lana'i as soon a possible. We'll definitely stop in to say aloha and shop. Mahalo for your comment! Sheila P.S. Have you seen this great photo? http://www.flickr.com/photos/govisithawaii/4295503459/in/set-72157601899281014/ Aloha Mike,
