- Kent (this is a no brainer but true nevertheless)
- Eddie sitting on the back of the toilet trying to swat the water as I brush my teeth or wash my face
- Wally chirp-meowing at me in the middle of the night so I’ll roll over on my left side so he can flop on me (the right side doesn’t work for him)
- Our coffee in the morning—Via beats the crap in the hotel rooms but I do prefer to have fresh-brewed stuff in the AM
- Our shower
- Our bed—even though it’s a cheap mattress and topper from Ikea, it’s really comfy
- Taking my lunch to work—we’re good cooks and I like what we make
Weird and/or interesting things I saw on this trip:
- Saw a man with a whole lot of ink, which isn’t unusual. But the tattoo at the base of his neck sure was: it was a very pink lipstick kiss mark.
- Sat near three burly construction guys carrying three enormous boxes of fresh bread from Hilo to Honolulu—plus they had several bags of chocolate
- Got introduced as the only white person in a meeting while in Hilo (it’s true, I was, everyone else was of mostly Hawaiian or Guam or Philippino descent)
- Watched the feral kitties hunt in the exposed rocks at low tide around 4 AM the first day
- Heard a 35-ish year old man call his wife “mommy” (yes they had two children but EW) (apologies if you call your spouse "mommy" or "daddy")

aurgh--I typed in a whole comment and that blogger busy message (503) ate it.
Basically I was agreeing about the married folks who call each other by what the kids call them, and saying that I figure they're the same people who vacation at Disneyland by choice.
I just laughed so loudly at your comment that at least one cat scampered away and Kent looked at me oddly.
Yes, there's a whole category of people who share identifying characteristics like that: vacation at Disneyland by choice, call each other mommy/daddy, wear fanny packs in Europe etc etc.
