Thankfully Lo'ihi held off and didn't ruin my vacation :D If anyone 
was on the windward side of Oahu between Christmas and New Years Day, 
you can thank me for the awful weather (worst winter break weather in 
at least 30 years according to one local resident I talked to); seems 
we brought it over from the mainland :( And here is something (kinda 
on topic-ish) that I found out about Lanikai beach (where my sister lives):
