Yes, unfortunately I had to come back from Hawaii. MUCH more to come, of course, but two highlights about the trip that I need to point out right away, before anything:

1) Bob Eubanks was on the plane ride with us from Los Angeles to Kauai.

2) We were sitting having lunch in Kauai a few days into the trip when I overheard the gentleman next to me say, and I quote, "dude, I just bought this ukulele yesterday and I've already learned a Queensryche song."

That's all for now.
