The Haydon Family in Hawaii (And Randy Cheats)

Too funny.  That wasn't my sexy wink, I blinked from the flash of your camera. 

As is expected, you get a couple of real estate agents together and Jack and I did the natural thing we talked about business.

Sally - "Woo Hoo"...all I can say is you ROCK!!! In person, on-line, in life - you have a heart as big as your smile!! Thanks for all your insights and tips to get the most out of our Oahu vacation - we saw things many locals haven't seen or done like swimming with endangered sea turtles and swimming off the beach with pods of spinner dolphins (no commercial tour just in the wild) - ah so many blogs and yet it's our last day so can't stop to write em yet - lol

I have so looked forward to meeting you in person and of course I had so many {hugs} to deliver from Dez, SarahWV and ME! You were even sweeter in person if that's possible and so kind and thoughtful to me, Jack and the boys.

I will treasure the goodie basket you sent me home with (you are too nice) - Ahhhh the best part is it will seem like Hawaii back in Clearwater. (Neal's right ... it is a LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG flight - but oh so worth it).     

The boys will never forget their new "aunt" in Hawaii and the Keiki toys - they are begging to go back to Zippys today - I wonder why? :) - Sean (the 7 yr old bought a Hawiian wallet with the $) Alex is still saving his :)

Jack and Randy cracked me up - and they give us a hard time about always talking business - not us was it! By the way, I let Randy know "a gentleman never tells a girls secrets" :)  

I hope you do make it out our way sometime - I'd love to show you our beaches and piece of paradise too. :) So glad you got well in time for us to get together - it was worth the wait! Now gotta go squeeze in a few more memories before we leave tomorrow :)   

Thanks for everything my friend! {hugs} from the whole Haydon clan!

P.S. You even spelled our name right - lol
 

Sally, What a wonderful meeting and what a fun post to read!  I'm thrilled that you two got to meet after such a long time and think it's wonderful that everyone had such a blast :)

How fun, some of my favorite bloggers together in Hawaii (not SF!).  The four of you are truly some of the best and most knowledgable I know.  I"m glad you had such a great time. Thanks for sharing with us!

Sally, I started to read this post but went to Randy's since he posted first.  He may have gotten the jump on you, but you still beat him out with content.  Better and more pictures, and not nearly as much gloating.  LOL.  Looks like you all had a great time.

Sally-

after reading Cyndee's comment I can honestly say that her assessment is right on.  Your heart is huge, and when Hawaii says they have the Aloha Spirit you must be one of the main Ambassadors.  Big heart, and a wonderful soul......now we need more people to come over there...hey I know...they should schedule the next Inman Conference over there.....LOL :)

Aloha Sally,

So nice to see these photos and glad to hear you all had the chance to meet! You and Randy certainly showed up the Aloha spirit when we were there earlier this year.

What kind of food do they serve?

Sally, I tried to help Randy with more posts, but you're too good:-) I give up, he posted first, you got more comments, I'll count that as a tie :-)

fun post, thanks to you and Randy.

Sally- When I finally get to meet you in Hawaii, I am going to rush back to the car, make sure I have my laptop and cell service and upload the photos and then beat you to posting on AR! hee, hee,!

You and Cyndee are so instrumental in my blogging for localism and making friends on the rain. I am so happy that you two got to meet! I saw all of Cyndee's photos on her Picassa web album and it was outstanding. She took better photos than a  magazine photographer takes. You and her could sell your photos to tourist marketing companies!

Sally,  Thanks for sharing your visit with Randy and the Haydons.  Mike

Cyndee is great! I met her for the first time last year! One of these days I will make the trip over there and meet you too Sally!!!!!!!!!!!
