June 20, 2011-Marshall Islands Jewelry, Big Island Chocolates, and San Francisco Sour Dough Bread!

     Well, here I am again, halfway around the world from my home on the atoll in the beautiful state of Oregon.  After another 40 something hour day, we arrived at my future in laws house last night, hopped up on the local Dutch Brothers drive through coffee with gifts from all our stops along the way. Our first touchdown in Majuro, we picked up a shell and coconut tree fiber necklace for my fiancé niece along with a can of Pringles, as we did not ensure adequate nutrition for ourselves before boarding our 7 pm flight.  Next, we stopped in Honolulu, Hawaii for just 4 hours, wondering around the airport waiting for Burger King and the duty free shops to open, so we could eat breakfast and purchase some Big Island shortbread cookies and chocolate covered macadamia nuts for all the Prenoveaus to enjoy.  Big Island goodies are the best! Finally, we touched down on something other than an island (unless you consider the mainland of the United States one big island) in the sunny state of California where we picked up some San Francisco sour dough bread while also enjoying the local Anchor Steam brew while waiting for our 5:30 flight to Eugene, Oregon.  Upon arrival, we finally hit our second wind, staying up and chatting until after midnight (which is only 7 pm where we came from) and finally hitting the sack around 1 am and sleeping in until 12:30 this morning. :p So, today, we look forward to taking care of business, getting plans and preparations made for this time next year when we look forward to taking our vows of forever at our wedding. J  I’ll keep you posted on our progress along the way, as usual…enjoy the day wherever you are!
