Went to yoga this morning and got a good workout. Went for a late afternoon kayak with Mike in Lanikai. It was a bit choppy getting out to the Twin Islands, but it was really nice. Mike scraped opihi for us, and we snacked on the salty ocean suckers. The hardest part of the day (Mike will say he was paddling for the both of us, but as a paddleboarder, he needed the workout anyway.) was carrying the double kayak.
After getting home late in town, my brother and I met my Popo (grandmother) and about ten of our family friends for a nice dinner at Sam Choy's.
About Me
- Tanya Mau-Halsall
- I am a 33 year old elementary school teacher, born and raised in Honolulu, Hawai'i. After living in Seattle and overseas in Thailand for a total of 12 years, I returned to Hawai'i to help take care of my father, who was diagnosed with ALS, a.k.a. Lou Gherig's Disease, in October 2004. After 2 1/2 years of watching his body slowly decline, my father earned his wings April 2007 and is no longer suffering. The past couple of years was spent sharing valuable time together and making more memories, as my father got to "walk" me down the aisle, though he was a couple months shy of seeing the birth of his first grandchild. And now, with new life, the journey continues with baby Chase, as I learn how to balance teaching, marriage, and being a mom. This online journal is a way for me to express myself, through my love of traveling, photography, and writing, while keeping in touch with family and friends.
