BIG TIME CATCH UP! TSUNAMI DAY FEB.2010

So early morning like 3:00 am I woke up to a text message from a friend in VA who saw on the news a tsunami might come to hawaii, I didnt read it but the sound woke me up and as i was falling back asleep I heard someone knocking on my neighbors door yelling Tsunami you might wanna get prepared!!!! I jumped up and was like huh? then realized everyone was awake called people and at 6 we had the state wide alarms sounding to take higher ground...before they closed off the streets I was able to get gas and hit the highest ground I know! check out my pics...




Gas line at 5:30am! their was 3 lines coming into this station

Drew went to work and got a water cooler and filled it with ice for us =) just in case!

Andy from VA had just moved to the island JK and I know him so I called him and told him where to meet me if he was allowed to leave pearl harbor.

pretty high huh? no wave was coming up here lol

everyone else on our side of the island showed up too haha it was a big party half the people were in PJ's still if i had a coffee pot we could have made some major cash haha

For JK's last weekend we took it easy and Saturday did some running around ate lunch and dinner out went to the zoo that was nice and he packed that evening, Sunday we went and got his hair cut and then to the north shore, the truck broke down and as you know my car was in the shop at the same time so we didn't have a enjoyable last full day together but at least we were together! that evening when we finally got towed home we had to get a friend to take us to get a rental so he could load the ship and I could go to work...Then Tue he left, anyways here are some pics...

Pedro the Gecko!

We have had a Gecko in the house for about 5 months now lol we caught on it was the same one over and over when we saw his 7pm routine..every night at 7 he walks accross the wall to the window and goes outside through his little gap and does whatever geckos do at night outside but he comes back in early AM and does this daily, every now and then he scares me in the morning when I come down to get ready for work...so latley anytime I see him I and taking a pic haha here is Pedros photo shoots!

P.S. hes not affraid of us anymore he watches us do stuff now haha we keep him because its good luck to have a gecko inside and also they eat spiders and stuff!

JK woke up super early and Drew came over to meet him around 4am and they went to climb the Haiku stairs (stairway to heaven) its illegal so you have to start early before the guard gets to the bottom...here are some pics he brought back! it took em hours! and 4 thousand stairs...

This is the gate they have to get through to get to the 1/4mile trail to the base of the MT.(pic was taken on their way out when the sun was up)
