What a Difference a Year Can Make

It seems like only yesterday that we were all gathered around our Windlines Chatter Boxes, reading the play-by-play of our youngest HPA member's birth; except, of course for Hillery who was busy forcing an object the size of a grapefruit through an opening the size of an apricot. Nikki Johnson showed up early and ended up with box seats for the live performance.

Well . . . it's been a whole year; most of which the Arroyo Family has spent in the Far East: a magical country called Nippon or "Japan;" discovering strange things like "Chop Sticks" and something called "Sushi."

But as of a few jet-lagged hours ago, Hillery, Peter III, and I are back on American soil. This can only mean one thing: Baby Luau Fly-In! (and I wanna fly every stinking day till they force me back on that freak'n plane!)

Where?
Kahana, of course (or Makapu'u or Tantalus or whereever it is flyable!)

When?
Sunday 30 Aug 09 -- All day!

We will bring a bunch of meat -- Steaks, Sausages, Dogs & Buns.

You bring: Stuff!
We'll need a grill, side dishes, more meat, beverages, more meat, veggie tray, more meat, deserts, more meat, coolers & ice, a table or two, beach chairs, and of course, more meat.

Bring wings and good weather, and let's celebrate one year of Peter J. Arroyo, III.

Aloha

PS: If you plan to bring something, please add a comment and list your item(s). I would hate to have eight tables and no grill.

Welcome back Suicide! Sorry I'm gonna miss flying with you - since you so extolled the virtues of jet lag, I'm getting on a plane for the mainland tonite to get some of my own. Even worse, I'm gonna miss the carniverous bacchanalia on Sunday. Hope your stay here sucks - that magic Kahana cloud suck!

Pete I got 2 tables and some chairs.
Have tents too if you think we will need them. Makapuu definately no shade for P3 unless every one kites.
Call me 864-3892.

Oh poo, Lori and I are leaving that day, just as the prodigal P3 returns! H & P, I'll meet you in Tokyo in 4 months.

I'll be there with carnivorous offerings, drinks and beach chairs.
