You found that where?????



My sweet friend Kelly (wedding photos previously posted) called me tonight from the airport in Maui. Her and her new hubby were waiting to board their flight home from their honeymoon, but she had some time to kill and decided to give me a ring. So, we were chatting about her trip and she was telling me about all of the fun things they'd done all week(Brian and I are going there and staying in the same hotel in September for our honeymoon). Then she remembered the story to beat all stories......evidently she'd decided to wade out into the beautiful blue ocean with her husband a few days earlier. Harmless, right? Not this day. A huge wave came out of no where and knocked her (as she put it) "ass over tea kettle" up onto the shore. She told me that her bikini bottoms had about 1/2 of the sand from the Pacific Ocean in them once she got her wits about her. She told her husband that the sand was making her outfit quite uncomfortable, to the point she even considered taking them off in the water and shaking them out....but decided against it when she pictured another wave coming and knocking her again onto the shore, but this time, sans bottoms. So, the decided to make the 30 minute drive back to their hotel. Once back, she couldn't get into the shower soon enough....she got out of her bottoms, rinsed them, and began cleaning herself of all of that sand when she heard "clink..clink.clink". She looked down and saw a piece of coral that had evidently been lodged in her rear. No wonder she'd been uncomfortable! That thing had bedded itself where the sun don't shine!!! She told me that although she is fully aware that the Hawaiian Visitors Bureau would most certainly frown upon it, she's keeping the piece of coral. She feels as though she's earned it!! Ahh, I love that girl!!!
