OK, I technically did not take a real break from this blog as it was kept updated, I did, however, rely on a lot of previously drafted posts which I save up for publication while on holiday.  I’ve just returned from a brief but much enjoyed trip to Maui with my family.  I will be back in the office later this week and start catching up on all of your correspondence.  In the meantime a few photos for your enjoyment.  Aloha!
