You nailed the Hawaiian animal mafia. Though you could get in trouble calling them distractions, especially the roosters. I believe they identify as enchantments. It sounds like you returned home, presumably for the sake of the kids.

Thanks for keeping me in the loop. The enchantments were more than distractions for sure. And yes, we returned, though the kids would probably not have complained if we'd stayed another few weeks.

But what happened to all the shagging and eating? That's what I want to know.

It seems as though your eyes are intact, so it's good that you listened to the cat.

Also...I don't believe that mother and daughter will be exchanging holiday cards this year. Very sad.

Sounds like an excellent packing list and the best of intentions. What are (packable) microns? I ask this from across the "pond" and wonder if it's a US thing.

Microns are just a type of pen I often use, ultra fine point. Not sure if they're available in the UK but you're not missing anything.
