| Halawa .....no words.... |
We have one last sunrise at Halawa....oh my. About the only things that seem to get Nan up at this early hour is the 05:45 ferry or...this....awesomely incredibly beautiful place.

| Early morning uke magic |
Tonight we sing and play our songs. OUR songs. Like the songs we are still writing and practicing?!
 |
| Steve and Duncan |
We drink specially made Kava Kava....with the promise that this will help...all things. Why not?
 |
| Here's to...um...our songs! And the performing artists! |
 |
Debi...ahhh!
|
 |
| Eileen and Terry and Trish...lots of laughter...and music! |
It's a great evening together and we hear much rousing applause...and many many sighs of relief!
How can we find these magical days coming to an end? At least a few of us have opted for one more night at the ranch and one more day on magical Molokai'i!
 |
| GROUP HUG!! |
After most of the folks packing up, head off to town to experience a kanakapelia at Coffees...which is the local...yep...coffee house. It's a good time, but a little hard to "follow along" as all the music is beautiful, yet totally Hawaiian.

After all but 5 of us have taken to the sky to return to life after ukulele immersion, we head out to the beach for the afternoon. First we take a look at the local post office that claims it's fame from "Post a Nut." Here you can pick your personal coconut out of the bin, decorate and address it...and send it off to any address in the WORLD. We meet a German couple doing just that. Interesting...but...

| Waiting for new homes around the world |
We find ourselves at Dixie Beach for a lovely afternoon in warm warm water...and waves. Lots of waves! Yet another absolutely beautiful beach with very few people.

The next morning we are off for Honolulu...but not without a fabulous breakfast, a sack lunch and yet another group hug.
 |
| Freshly made cinnamon buns...fresh fruit, yogurt, granola and kale quiche! YUM! Again. |
Our little Mokulele airplane is right on time and transports us quickly back to a world way too civilized, known as Honolulu. We rent a car and get out of the city as we have 11 hours until our overnight Alaska Air flight back to Bellingham.

| Goodbye to new friends |
 |
| Steve's uke tries to stay behind by hiding out....no chance....but...a promise to return!! |
Yep...less than 24 hours later we go to sleep in our own little house on San Juan Island. Worlds away, much music and song running though our sleepy heads....and hearts. Whew! What a wonderful way to experience both an unknown Hawaii with ukulele!
We love this idea of "Have Uke, Will Travel!" It brings us to new places, new people, new music....awesome experiences.
Wait until you hear about the next ukulele adventure idea!! Hint: learning a song in Greek is a big challenge!
