Problem Solved

Sometimes it turns out that the simplest remedy can fix the most costly problems. Our mattress-from-hell saga is now over and we won't even have to shell out a couple grand to fix it. In fact, we won't have to shell out anything. No, the manufacturer hasn't come to their senses and provided good customer service or anything like that, but we took matters into our own hands. My husband wondered what would happen if he took a couple really old pillows we had around and put them under the mattress on his side directly under his dent. Voila! No more dent. He has gotten up in the mornings with no more back pain and doesn't feel as if he's sleeping in a giant crater anymore. Who knew?

Now on to other things...My husband and I planned our summer vacation for this year. Hawaii!!! I've never been and am so excited to go and so is our daughter. There is so much we want to do there like learning to surf (I seem to be the only one adventurous enough to be psyched about this but I can't wait to try it), checking out the beaches (We're staying on Waikiki but I want to go to the North Shore as well), visiting Pearl Harbor and all the other typical Hawaiian stuff. Any suggestions from my readers who may have been there?
