Welcome back! I'm glad that you and the family enjoyed your trip! I'm having a chuckle with Purse Addict's comment cuz it *is* very rare to see you in sneakers. :D
hey, Betsy:
How are you?
I have to thank you million times for such a great advice on this trip.

We should go out a lunch sometime...BY THE END OF THIS YEAR..yes, I make it less stressful for us since it is just so hard to schedule a DATE w/ friends these days!!!...hah... (how about lunch at that Brazilian style BBQ in Palo Alto?)

hee.... yes, I know, I normally don't wear sneakers OUTSIDE the GYM, let alone walking on the STREET!! Well, Converse is different story, it is a kick-back style in trend!! :)

Oh, I want to give you back the book too!!!
Welcome back home, Rachel!!! The whale watching sounds really cool, it looks like the trip was such a cool expirience in general and teh weather seemed to be perfect - all those blue skies and waters, sunsets and the rainbow, wow! And I just ADORE your "bare" look - so chic!

love the pictures, reminded me of my Maui trip, so much fun! You look great looking so relaxed and just chillin' at the beach. Did you get a nice tan? :)

OH,what a fun trip! I too had to rub my eyes to be sure I wasn't imagining tennis shoes :0 They look cute on you still. You can do no wrong!!

Hi Rachel, welcome back.
Seems you and your family had a great time in Maui (well, who wouldn't in such a beautiful place! Lol)
I think a vacation like that would make it difficult to back home to the "real life", but you're right: the memories that gives you, that will stay for you forever, definitely worth it.
And what a luck to be able to give your children this kind of experiences as well.

Great pics Rachel! I didn't know that we can still catch the whales in late April! May I know how long did you stay in Maui?

I usually go to Maui in October and stay at the Wailea area.

After looking at your pics, I miss Maui now!
Hi, Michelle: thanks.
I think the whale season is from Nov. to May..(we are lucky to catch the last couple whale mom and baby I think...haha...)

Oh, we only stay there for 5 days and realized that if we want to visit Big Island next time, we'd stay longer in Hawaii. :) Next time, I am going to visit Highway Hana and see some panoramic waterfalls for sure. ^O^

It is indeed a great getaway during winter time.

Make a Wish w/ Russia Babushka doll!!

My friend, Michelle asked me about my opinion of Chanel Babushka doll's necklace once and I said "Not worth getting it"!! Now I am not so sure if I would say the same thing to this adorable babushka doll clutch!! lol However, even I want to find it, this doll clutch is probably long gone by now!! I have a real Russia Babushka doll made in Russia which is a gift from 10 years ago! I couldn't find the same one in USA since this set of 15 nesting dolls are truly intricate!! This is the biggest one which has the most exquisite engraving. Total 15 of them! (2 are missing from the pic.) I heard that you can make a wish w/ these nesting dolls. If your wish comes true, you can open one until all 15 are all open!! I never made any wish w/ them, guess I was too realistic of a person myself. I don't know if each engraved temple/castle on the dolls represents something. You can't open the smallest one which is only the size of the little finger nail. I adore those golde

Birthday Gift from My Dearest Darling!! Oh, Hermes!!

Oh, Hermes!! Oh, my love!! I mean both my DH and Hermes!! :P My SA insists me saying nothing about this beauty on the website. And I promised her!! The truth is the picture is worth more than a thousand words, let me share my ultimate excitement silently!! A little extra business for my SA goes a long way for our relationship!! Hermes white leather on golden studded cuff can go w/ my Chanel matte white reissue 227 That's my 09 multicolored hot air balloon print Hermes scarf The cuff can also go w/ my 35cm Gris Tourterelle Hermes Togo Birkin !!! I almost faint when I received it!! I believe every rookie of Hermes feels the same as I do!! hahah.... I think I catch the color very true! (even it is indoor at my house at night as you can tell) Ta da~! My newest addition to my little luxury collection!! Again, 35cm Gris Tourterelle Hermes Togo Birkin !
