I heard that Michelle and the kids went in one plane and Obama followed in another. I find it hard to believe that in the present economy with so many Americans out of work and even losing their homes that a person who is supposed to be a figure head would flaunt his affluence by taking a 4 million dollar vacation no matter who is paying for it. So 99% s and occupiers this is ok with you? I am hoping that the 4 mil is an inflated figure but who knows.
herbie77 I should have been clearer in my question. I was asking it of Americans.

It wouldn’t surprise me one bit. The Obamas are on a four year vacation and the American taxpayer is footing the bill! Disgraceful, that so many are hurting right now and that many of our military are on food stamps.

I’m sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo angry!

Let me try to explain this the best way possible. I dated this guy for almost two years back when I was a junior/senior. I’m now 19 almost 20. We were completely in love and thought we would be together forever. Things didn’t work out… and we were both heart broken. We both dated new people. Yet I always found myself comparing and missing him throughout this new relationship. We had both broken up with our new bfs/gfs around the same time just recently like two months ago. (magically)…. and started hanging out as friends. But that didn’t last for long. One night we kissed and from then on, we are sort of… dating I guess you would say. We’re not together, yet we are completely in love with each other. There is really no one else I’d rather be with. Getting down to the point…. He’s going to Hawaii. And is staying with someone he knows down there. Yet we’ve talked and we both know we’re going to hurt a lot when he’s gone…. the thing is. It’s a one way ticket and I have no idea how long he’s going to be gone…. I’m already hurting knowing he’s leaving soon. (early september) he keeps on asking… what’s going to happen if I stay pretty long, and I say how long. and he said three months. Let me remind you. This boy is in love with me, he is madly in love with me, as I am with him. He can’t go a couple days without missing me. I guess my question is, do you really think he’s going to stay that long there… he definitely has the lifestyle where he could.. nothing holding him back. He knows he’s going to miss me, his family, and his friends. It just hurts so much not knowing when he’ll come back. He says not to wait for him, but since we’ve been rekindling this… I can’t help but think I’m going to subconsciously wait for him. I won’t be looking for any one else, or wanting to date any one else. And I know it’s going to hurt. a lot, when he’s gone. I guess I just need some advice, as to if you think he’s actually going to stay long, or if hawaii’s going to be too much, and he’ll miss home too much. (He’s never been on his own.. yet he’s a pretty independent person)

or maybe some songs that’ll help me feel better about this whole thing. :/

Puff The Magic Dragon-Peter, Paul, and Mary

I know it’s not the perfect song but it’s so catchy and upbeat. It makes me happy whenever i listen tot it :D

Aloha everyone. I’m very proud to be working with the OAHU SPCA as we join together for the “HIKES for HOMES” project to find FOREVER HOMES for Shelter Dogs through the Oahu SPCA. The Oahu Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) has formed “Hikes for Homes” to provide a fun and healthy environment where the shelter dogs can meet and mingle with the public. We hope that with this exposure someone will be moved to adopt a shelter dog and save a life. The Oahu SPCA core volunteers select up to 10 shelter dogs for each monthly hike. They accompany the dogs as their handlers and monitor their behavior. The Oahu SPCA and Wayde’s World Hawaii plans to extend the hikes to other trails with my personal advice. This is something I have been wanting to do for a while now and I am very exciting to be a part of this great organization!

The Oahu SPCA is a NO KILL animal shelter located in Kapolei. They are funded through private donations and grants. Each month They rescue, rehabilitate and re-home approximately 60 abused, abandoned or neglected animals.

If you enjoy the company of shelter dogs, friendly people and the outdoors please join us on our next “HIKES for HOMES. We have one each month. To find out when they are taking place please go to www.oahuspca.org for more information or join my Facebook Group/Fan page: Wayde’s World Hawaii

Suppose you’ve saved for many, many years so that you could finally take your dream vacation to Hawaii, or someplace really exotic.

Now suppose, while you are away, the person taking care of your house stops by to feed your dogs, and notices that the washing machine hose has broken, and your entire first floor has flooded!

Would you want your housesitter to notify you immediately, (which would probably cause you to cut your vacation short and rush home)

OR…..

Would you prefer that your housesitter clean up the mess as best he or she can, not say anything that would spoil your vacation, and wait until you got home before breaking the news?

Homeowners, what would you prefer?
Housesitters, how would you have handled it?

Things that make you go Hmmmmm…

If I was a homeowner, I’d have insurance yes? And please don’t ruin my happy moments in life and lemme enjoy my vacation.

If I was a house-sitter, I’d do my best and clean up the mess, and then call the homeowner and report the damage.

Geckos are lizards belonging to the family Gekkonidae, found in warm climates throughout the world.They range from 1.6cm to 60cm.

Geckos are unique among lizards in their vocalizations, making chirping sounds in social interactions with other geckos. Gekkonidae is the largest family of lizards, with an estimated 2,000 different species worldwide and many others likely yet to be discovered. The name stems from the Indonesian/Javanese word Tokek, inspired by the sound these animals make.

All geckos, excluding the Eublepharinae subfamily, have no eyelids and instead have a transparent membrane which they lick to clean. Many species will, in defense, expel a foul-smelling material and feces onto their aggressors. There are also many species that will drop their tails in defense, a process called autotomy. Many species are well known for their specialized toe pads that enable them to climb smooth and vertical surfaces, and even cross indoor ceilings with ease (one hypothesis explains the ability in terms of the van der Waals force). These antics are well-known to people who live in warm regions of the world, where several species of geckos make their home inside human habitations. These species (for example the House Gecko) become part of the indoor menagerie and are often welcome guests, as they feed on insects, including mosquitoes.

The largest species, the Kawekaweau, is only known from a single, stuffed specimen found in the basement of a museum in Marseille, France, and one documented sighting in the wild in 1870. This gecko was 60 cm (24 in) long and it was endemic to New Zealand, where it lived in native forests. It was probably wiped out along with much of the native fauna of these islands in the late 19th century, when new invasive species such as rats and stoats were introduced to the country during European colonization. The smallest gecko, the Jaragua Sphaero, is a mere 1.6 cm long and was discovered in 2001 on a small island off the coast of the Dominican Republic.

Geckos come in various patterns and colors such as purple, pink, blue, and black. Geckos are among the most colorful lizards in the world. They are most commonly found in the forests of Florence, County.

Some are subtly patterned and somewhat rubbery looking, while others are brightly colored. Some species can change color to blend in with their environment or with particular temperatures. Some species are parthenogenic, which means the female is capable of reproducing without copulating with a male. This improves the gecko’s ability to spread to new islands. However, in a situation where a single female gecko populates an entire island, said island will suffer from a lack of genetic variation within the geckos that inhabit it. The gecko’s mating call sounds like a shortened bird chirping which attracts males, when they are around. This allows a female to reproduce with more genetic variation, by using sexual reproduction instead of asexual.

The toes of the gecko have a special adaptation that allows them to adhere to most surfaces without the use of liquids or surface tension. The spatula tipped setae on gecko footpads demonstrate that the attractive forces that hold geckos to surfaces are van der Waals interactions between the finely divided setae and the surfaces themselves, although a more recent study suggests that water molecules of roughly monolayer thickness (present on virtually all natural surfaces) also play a role.

These van der Waals interactions involve no fluids; in theory, a boot made of synthetic setae would adhere as easily to the surface of the International Space Station as it would to a living room wall, although adhesion varies with humidity and is dramatically reduced under water, suggesting a contribution from capillarity. The setae on the feet of geckos are also self cleaning and will usually remove any clogging dirt within a few steps. Teflon, which has very low van der Waals forces, is the only known surface to which a gecko cannot stick.the geckos feet also loose their stickieness when sprayed with man juice.

Geckos’ toes seem to be “double jointed”, but this is a misnomer. Their toes actually bend in the opposite direction from our fingers and toes. This allows them to overcome the van der Waals force by peeling their toes off surfaces from the tips inward. In essence, this peeling action alters the angle of incidence between millions of individual setae and the surface, reducing the Van der Waals force. Geckos’ toes operate well below their full attractive capabilities for most of the time. This is because there is a great margin for error depending upon the roughness of the surface, and therefore the number of setae in contact with that surface.

I heard this song and came up with this story lol. I’ve been writing so many stories.
……..

(Selena’s POV:)
My Beautiful Mansion. I walked inside. (Sel’s House – http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.ianmarshall.com/files/Atlanta_Mansions_over_1million.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.ianmarshall.com/blog/category/buckhead-mansions/&usg=__nCs0XdMwRfDCwBplniR9ooew5bo=&h=432&w=640&sz=57&hl=en&start=0&sig2=cubSdsX03TBXsQK1zS2xCA&zoom=1&tbnid=9d0WU7r3Tu4WlM:&tbnh=123&tbnw=182&ei=FoAmTc-7EMannQf0h4ScAQ&prev=/images%3Fq%3DMansions%2Bover%2Ba%2Bmillion%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26biw%3D1366%26bih%3D659%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=317&vpy=77&dur=165&hovh=184&hovw=273&tx=136&ty=77&oei=5n8mTaSeJcOYnAeXraj8CA&esq=7&page=1&ndsp=24&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0 )
“I’m home.” I yelled.
I had finished my last day of school. I was finally a High School Grad. Graduation rehearsals were yesterday. Tonight is the ceremony.
“Hey Selena honey, I thought you were going to Sam’s to get ready?” My Mom asked.
“I know, I am. I had to come get my dress.” I stated.
“Alright.. I’ll meet you by the doors at 7:30. Love you.” My mom kissed my cheek, happier than usual.
Something was up… Well, I held the thought off to the side because tonight would be amazing. Although I’m Graduating High School as a Single Girl. I don’t mind. I ran upstairs and slid my dress out of my closet with a plastic bag over it. Drove over to my friend Sam, took my dress and walked inside. Went up to her room to find Sam with 5 of my other friends curling eachothers hair, doing their make up, adding touches like accessories.
“Selena! I’ll do your hair in a minute if you want. I think Alicia could use help with her jewelry though.” Sam stated.
I nodded, hanging my dress up on the rolling rack with everyone else’s. I stepped over to help Alicia decide what jewelry to wear. (Selena’s Dress – http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://buzzinmarket.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/graduation-dress-3.jpg&imgrefurl=http://buzzinmarket.com/2010/06/top-graduation-dresses-for-the-special-day/&usg=__Id9-DGuRBWkHRknGiKJF8x8pJwU=&h=533&w=320&sz=38&hl=en&start=151&sig2=j9T7-p6c8-UWIf9hABzDww&zoom=1&tbnid=YgmsbSceG9zzpM:&tbnh=175&tbnw=105&ei=zoEmTZrfD8O7ngf17_i9AQ&prev=/images%3Fq%3DGraduation%2BDresses%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26biw%3D1366%26bih%3D659%26tbs%3Disch:10,3242&um=1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=362&oei=kIEmTeOMH9L9nAej-u3SDQ&esq=18&page=7&ndsp=23&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:151&tx=33&ty=115&biw=1366&bih=659 )
After 4 hours of getting everyone ready it was time to head to the church. We drove in the limo there and I stood by the doors waiting for my mom and dad, with my cap over my hair and my gown hiding my dress with white heels.
My Mom started crying.
“I haven’t walked across the stage yet.” I smiled.
“I know, I am so proud of you though.” My mom smiled through her tears and hugged me again.
Graduation was over at 9:30. I took pictures with all my friends in our gowns with out caps and without them. Pictures with my parents and everything. We started walking back to the car.
“So we have a suprise new graduate.” My mom said looking ahead.
“What?” I asked.
“We thought.. It would be a nice graduation present and a get away… A Vacation To Hawaii with us. We won’t bug you, we’re letting you have your space.” My Dad said.
I stopped.
“Are you joking?” I asked.
They shook their heads. I ran up and hugged them.
“I love you!” I yelled.
The next afternoon, at noon, just 30 minutes after I was on a plane sitting between my parents to Hawaii for the next 4 weeks. We arrived a few hours later and stepped off the plane. They greeted us with the flower necklaces. I smiled and stepped off the plane, it was so warm. Although I’m used to warm.
My parents walked off into the airport. A boy with brown curly hair and brown eyes. Wearing a skin tight Abercombie Shirt with a Hawaiian Flower on it. With Khaki Shorts. He put the necklace around my neck.
“Welcome to Hawaii.” He smiled at me.
He looked about my age.
“Thank you.” I smiled back.
“I’m your guide kind of.. I’m supposed to show you where you’ll be staying and everything. So, lets go get your parents.” He stated.
I nodded, we walked together inside the airport.
“I’m Nick by the way.” He said.
“I’m Selena.. Gomez.” I stepped inside as he opened the door.
“Nice to meet you.” Nick stepped in after me.
I led him to my parents and Nick explained himself to them and introduced himself. Nick drove us to the hotel we were staying at which was beautiful.
We stepped inside. I turned before the door shut on Nick.
“You have my number on the desk in there. I’m your guide. Call me if you need me.” He said to my parents. They nodded.
“Thank You..” I smiled.
“No Problem…” Nick grinned and walked off.

I am thinking of taking my godmother on a vacation just her and I. I was thinking either New York or Hawaii. She should be home in 2-4 years. And now is the time to save up for the trip.

Jacksonville, Florida is the best kept secret in the USA. The sands are white and the water is bluish green on the beaches. Hotel prices are low, as is restaurant prices. I went to college in Jadksonville and discovered a land of beauty that never gets any tourist attention. It would be half the price of New York or Hawaii.

Our rental house in Punaluu Oahu Hawaii. The owners name is Mike. his phone is (looks like youtube removed the number even though I have permission from the owner)(808) 293-4777 We just got back from another week at his house and I highly recommend this house. It is very clean and the owners answer all questions and leave you alone. I feel like its my home when we visit. neighbors are nice and not nosey. I will be uploading video from this past week (may 8-13 2008) soon of the beach. If you get to stay here, snorkel out about a block and then go a block to the the left to see beautiful tropical fish. Also sit outside and watch the turtles pop up for air. This video is when we took our whole family, including my mom. The videos uploading now are andrea and myself along with my sis and James. A great time again and we brought my son who turned 1 at the house. I cannot say enough about this place… its great. email me at boingonut1@aol.com if you want to ask any questions.. I will give my phone number in email if you want to ask questions off the internet. Im not getting paid for this.. its a great house. 2 thumbs up. Last time we were there the BBQ was hurting. This time we had a BBQ for my sons b-day. I was very happy to see mike had bought a new BBQ. I will never stay in a hotel there ever again. I am already looking at plane tickets to return..

My Best friend is going to Hawaii for the whole summer vacation, What I want to do is send her with some stuff but I am not sure what? Should I send her with my adress so she can send me a letter or should I send her with some pictures of home? Can I have a list? I want to send her with more than one thing. She is like a sister to me. :] Any Ideas?

Aw your such a good friend for just wanting to send her anything. I would probably just send her a summer dress and a letter to let her know you havent forgotten her and miss her and mail it with your address so she would be able to stay in touch with you.

Carolina? like I really really really felt at home there even though I knew I couldn’t stay there for that long! =)

maybe because you had more friends there or something

Cheap-Vacation-Rental.com Score big this summer with a hawaii rental homes. Here are the tips to make it happen. Booking a summer vacation can be tricky.

This is a quite big lot, not a big house. The house has two floors with a hall, a bathroom, a kitchen with dining area, a big porch outside the kitchen (for summer dinners), a big living room, two bedrooms for four people and a pet and two big wardrobes for storage. Besides, there are a huge garden and a smaller beach.

I have used The Sims 2 and five expansion packs; Open for business, Nightlife, Seasons, Pets and Bon Voyagage.

Please comment my video if you can. I will release number two as soon as I can.

Thanx for watching my video!!!

The Wyndham Royal Sea Cliff – formerly known as Fairfield Hawaii at Royal Sea Cliff Resort – is located on seven acres of beautiful prime oceanfront land just two miles south of Kailua-Kona on Hawaii’s Big Island. This fabulous resort, which has been awarded RCI Gold Crown rating, offers one and two-bedroom timeshare condos with every imaginable amenity. All the resort’s beautifully furnished vacation suites include spacious bedrooms, living rooms with pull-out sofa beds, full kitchens with dishwashers and microwaves, and, of course, air conditioning.
The Royal Sea Cliff is a multi-level complex of striking architecture that descends toward the coast. And because each suite includes a private balcony or patio, owners at this resort will enjoy some of the most dramatic and breathtaking views in Hawaii! For the active vacationer, on-site recreational amenities include both a freshwater and saltwater pool, a tennis court, and an activity desk offering a “Get Out & Play” program designed to help you do just that. In addition, the resort boasts a sauna, whirlpool, and hot tub.

Combined with the natural beauty of the island, the amenities at Wyndham Royal Sea Cliff make it a truly memorable place to vacation! Kailua-Kona is known for its striking coastline and offers ample opportunity for boating, fishing, golfing, horseback riding, scuba diving, shopping, and sight-seeing. Visit the Kona Coffee Mill & Museum or the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park for an exciting day trip. Boiling pools of fire, spurting jets of scalding steam…you’re sure of a warm welcome from Madame Pele. The goddess of fire makes her home within the Kilauea Caldera in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, so they say. You pay your respects and move on to other wondrous sights…lava tubes, plunging waterfalls, orchards and orchids.

Kailua Kona – Big Island is one of the popular destinations of the Hawaiian Islands, as it is known for beaches, warm weather and fun. The shores of Hawaii are protected on the West side of Hawaii, where it is natural, wonderful and untouched. Here lies the town of Kailua-Kona, which has gained worldwide recognition as a visitor destination because it is clean, warm and stunning. West Hawaii is the preferred visitor destination for the Big Island, as it is not as commercial as many others areas of the island.

The Big Island of Hawaii offers a tropical vacation with white-sand beaches and spectacular sunsets. And your vacation home at Mauna Loa Village gives you access to all of the island’s activities. Enjoy deep-sea fishing, romantic sunset cruises, and shopping. On site, you can enjoy one of eight swimming pools, eight hot tubs, and tennis. The surrounding landscape boasts natural lava rock gardens with an assortment of Hawaii’s beautiful flowering trees and shrubs. If you plan to take advantage of the tennis when you visit Mauna Loa, please contact the resort in advance for the current rates.

Many activities are available outdoors, such as bike riding, walking, hiking, swimming, snorkeling and more. The weather is warm all year around, not as seasonal as many other areas of the world are. Kailua-Kona is a stopping point for a large number of cruise ships, so there is always something exciting going on at the waterfront; and you can often see spectacular ships anchored in Kailua Bay. It is an easy walk or drive to Kailua-Kona Village, ocean activities and exciting night life.

Hi! So I’m a fourteen year old who gets really squeamish with things like blood and such. I’ve had maybe 3 or 4 periods (it’s my first year so it’s irregular). I am leaving to go on vacation in like a week. My sister just got her period and we usually get it around the same time. I am afraid that I will get my period while I’m in Hawaii where I will obviously be swimming. I have never used a tampOn nor do I want to I think they’re really creepy I just don’t like the idea of touching myself or sticking something up there. I have only used pads. I don’t wanna have to learn to use tampons while I’m not at home. How much do tampons hurt? Will I get blood on my hands? Do I have to stick my fingers inside (ew)? Do menstrual cups work/ would they be a better option? I’ve heard they go up less farther and are more hygienic. Let me know ! I feel like I might get it soon and I’m worried :( any advice?

Menstrual cups are a much better option – either way you’re going to be using something internal, better to use cups than tampons. Honestly you get used to dealing with these things, after all your vagina is cleaner than your mouth, it’s yours so there’s no reason to fear touching, in fact touching your genitals is an important part of sexual health, and it’s only blood not toxic waste!

Menstrual cups are more hygienic and safer so unlike tampons cups don’t cause TSS, vaginal infections, increased cramps, or pose any long-term risks from toxin exposure. This makes cups more convenient as they can be worn with any flow, overnight, before your period, and for up to 12 hours, they also don’t leak like tampons so more reliable too.

When on holiday they’re more convenient too as you could use one before your period to avoid any problems if it comes unexpectedly, you’d be able to wear them overnight to avoid leaking in the bed, and you could go all day without worrying about changing. They’re better for swimming as nothing shows outside your body, they don’t absorb water, and don’t leak.

Plus it means no carrying tampons in your bag with you – depending on where you go it may not be a good idea to buy tampons abroad as they have different regulations in different countries. You could also try using a cup now to get used to insertion before you go off on your holiday.

DO NOT use tampons when not on your period.
DO NOT use tampons during very light flow.

If you do use tampons you would have to wait until you were on your period and during full flow to insert them, even then it’s best to wait until heaviest flow to try tampons at first – also bear in mind with cups you’ve got to know what absorbency to use, so you may have to take a few absorbencies with you. It’s best to use cotton tampons like Cottons as these are softer and not as unsafe as commercial brands like Tampax, also avoid applicator – applicators are for girls like you who feel uncomfortable about touching themselves, however they make insertion a lot more difficult.

Remember to follow precautions with tampons; change every 4-6 hours, always use lowest absorbency, don’t use overnight, don’t use before your period, don’t use during light flow, don’t use if you have an infection or unusual discharge, always wash hands before use, keep tampons clean.

Yes, if using tampons or menstrual cups you will have to stick your fingers in your vagina – YOUR VAGINA IS NOT ‘EW’ – you need to get over your body-issues honey, this sort of attitude to your own vagina is really unhealthy. You may get blood on your hands, more so with tampons because you have to wrap them up to bin them (never flush, particularly not abroad where you don’t know what the sewage system is like) and because they leak.

Edit: Hormonal birth control isn’t something to play with, it can have major effect on your body both by suppressing your cycles and risking side-effects, even if you were willing to use hormonal birth control it would not work at this point to suppress bleeding. You may be able to use Provera from your doctor to help at this point, but really it’s best to just wait and see what happens.

The Washington Post published details about the rental vacation home in which President Obama and his family are staying today, 12.25.10. The description was of a five bedroom rental property that goes for up to $42,000. per week during peak season. The property described is very much like the one in which the President and his family stayed on two prior winter trips to Hawaii, 2008 (as President elect) and 2009. Several real estate listings of vacation homes in Hawaii refer to the house as the Obama Winter White House. This video was produced by a real estate company as a promotional effort for the property. It is duplicated from the web as a news worthy video. The TerryReport.com

I am going to Hawaii in April 2012, its me, my bf and possibly our friend. we are going for 6 nights 7 days. I’m not sure what island were going to stay on yet we want a very hawaiian island ( i heard that oahu is more city like), i’m looking at vacation homes, do you recommend anywhere for us? were trying to have the best time at the cheapest rate we can. i think were going to go the go oahu card and am thinking about staying on the big island. i don’t know any advice would be helpful. i want to see pearl harbor, volcanos, black sand beach plus more

Ok, wahine, you gonna get the low down from, cause you ask so nice, ok? First, thank you for coming to Hawaii, we glad to have you, ok? You want very Hawaiian island, and that kinda nice, so here some suggest for you, yeah? All of the islands very good in own way, like Molokai, and Lanai, very Hawaiian, but if you not into fishing, deserted beaches, and not too many hotels, and just a few restaurants, you not gonna like them, ok? Kauai, and Big Island very Hawaiian, that is what most people think of Hawaiian, like ohana spirit, aloha spirit, and hospitality that a part of Hawaii, ok? But, both of these islands have less development, so not as many places to stay for tourist, and while very nice to visit, maybe for first time, you gonna want to see more of sights, ok? So, that leave Oahu, and Maui, of course we not talk bout Niihau or Kahoolawe, cause they not easy to visit, and have no hotels, or facilities, ok? So, you talk bout maybe rent vacation home, that not a bad idea, most gonna be for 1 week minimum, and some on beach very big money, ok? You might want to consider Condo, 2 bedroom, with two bath, Maui gots lotta them, lots on Kaanapali side of Maui, also Oahu gots lots too, but in Waikiki, and you sound like you not want "city", yeah? So, here the thing, if you rent beach house on Oahu, go to north side of island, very nice, very Hawaiian, and very expensive, ok? Maui got lots of condo, not beach house, but close, and also lotta things to do, like swim, surf, snorkel, also see Haleakala, Hana, Io Needle, and Molokini, ok? So, my suggest, go to Maui, stay in Kehei, kaanapali, or Wailea, and have time of you life, yeah?
Peace and aloha to you!
