Poppy & GG vacation in Hawai'i

Poppy & GG (aka Pappy and Mama, David and Gretchen, and don't go there-Dave and Gretch) recently returned from their first (and perhaps only) trip to Hawai'i. Overall, it was a very nice trip. Blue skies, ocassional gentle breezes, very good food, good company, nice scenery, tent cities (retirement home?) and a very special joining of the McKeevers and Smarts. Life is good. And, at just $290 per person per day, you gotta love it.

Here's Poppy's highlights of the trip with GG's responses, ala Dave Letterman:

POPPY (GG)

1. Katie & Jason are one! (Goddy love!)
2. Tim and Sarah join us. (Nice.)
3. Tasha and John join us. (Thank you.)
4. I wish Oliver and Charlotte were here.(Me too.)
5. Bikini clad surfer girls. (Alfonzo rocks in Amalfi.)
6. Sunshine and temps in the 80s. (Sucks to sweat.)
7. Fresh fruit all year long. (I love fruit.)
8. Kakazu says it rocks. (Kaka who?)
9. Airline tickets are free. (But not sound proof.)
10. Beats Fitchburg. (Sure does.)

Here's one photo per day, highlighting our adventure:

Day 1: Poppy & GG arive in Hawai'i and head down to Waikiki.

Stay tuned for photos, videos and assorted other junk that only Poppy can do.

Very nice pictures and very nice top ten list. So have you been partaking in other activities like David Letterman? IE - Did you give Doris the biz?

Gretchen said...

Who's Doris? You must mean Karla. I doubt if he's been partaking in that. For one thing, he's the wrong gender.

Katie said...

I like the picture taken at the top of Diamond Head, I'm assuming? We wanted to do that but didn't want to spend the $$$$ on a cab ride. Maybe next time.

I also enjoyed the top 10 ... and the alfonzo reference!

Gretchen said...

Yeah, we will never forget Alfonzo, will we, Katie? He was one of the hottest guys I ever laid eyes on. I wonder if he's still there. Probably not..otherwise, I'd be on the next plane to Amalfi!

Doris is the fat old hag, mother image Ken hired as our secretary many years ago. Doris is cold. Karla is the "I'm not sure what sex I am, but since I lost 3+ husbands, maybe a chick would do better, or maybe Matt Alderman." Not hot. Alfonzo is a guy so I don't know if he's hot or just snot. But Amalfi is hot, Hawaii is hot, Mom hates hot, therefore Mon hates Alfonzo. I love logic.
