Catching you up

Wow, it has been forever since we have updated the blog. Apologies to all of our loyal readers - good news, we don't write enough to have loyal readers! :)

Its been so long, I am not even sure where I left off... If you didn't know already, I got a job at the Fairmont Orchid, the same hotel as Greg. It wouldn't be normal if we didn't work together! I working in the Catering department as a catering coordinator. Which is actually the same position I left in Denver. It is crazy how the same position can be so different. Mainly because of the type of clients at each hotel. The Brown was full of business meetings and conference, where as the Fairmont is full of leisure incentive trips and vacationer. I'd almost say that the Brown was easier... Vacations get far more upset when something goes wrong, they are also at the hotel for a longer period of time so when it does go wrong you get to hear about it for awhile. Overall, I am having fun learning about Hawaii and the Fairmont company. I have meet some great people at work and am hoping to get to know them all better.

Kilauea - the volcano erupted recently, well, its been erupting for quite few years but it just had a new eruption. See this link for details and a video > http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/hvo/activity/kilaueastatus.php

We are hoping to drive the 2.5 hours to go see it soon! It is crazy to think that we live two hours away from an erupting volcano - Dont worry, it wont come to where we live.

Thats all for now, short and sweet! I will try to post more often!! (no promise).

This was taken by a media photographer this week at the Fairmont Orchid! Winter in Hawaii

Little Koa - 5.5 Lbs - So big ;)

Lava, currently flowing on the Big Island. We weren't this close but you could see it and definitely feel the heat from it!
