Vroom, Vroom!

I have a temporary set of wheels, everyone, and it is divine!

My friend G. is out of town for three weeks, and he is very kindly lending me his Jeep while he is on vacation.  I haven't done too much with it, but every time I walk past its parking spot in front of the house, I smell freedom!

I picked up the Jeep Saturday night, and on Monday I filled the tank (ouch) and drove to Kahului, the other side of the island, to run some errands.  I turned the radio up and rolled the windows down and, well, I wish I could say that I drove fast on the highway, but I respect my friend's vehicle and most importantly, the speed limit is well under 60 mph on the highway--on average, the speed limit is 45 mph.  It's almost disheartening.

But I made it to the other side without incident.  My first stop was the MacNet Computer & Home Theater store to get my 2006 Macbook serviced.  And I'm glad that I went.  They did an amazing job fixing up my laptop.  My original battery had actually swelled over the years and had to be replaced.  They also replaced the top case on my computer, so now, my 2006 Macbook runs like new and it looks like new too!

While they were working on my computer, I ran over to Walmart and bought everything I need for my Halloween costume.  I can't wait to show you what I'm going to be!  I'll post photos after I assemble it.

I've been running through a list of places I want to go while I have G.'s car.  I want to go back Upcountry.  I want to swim at Makena's Big Beach.  I want to visit the aquarium again.  Hopefully squeeze in some hikes as well.  So many choices and so little time!!
