- Lanikai Beach, Oahu
Mom just called.
Mom: Busy?
Me: Nah, just finished with our morning meeting.
Mom: Wanna go to Mexico or Vegas?
Me: When?
Mom: The end of the month?
Me: Oh, I was hoping you’d say this weekend… (since it’s a super duper long weekend… and I can always extend it too)
Me: … oh yeah, WHY??
Mom: Just wanna get away… feeling restless lately…
Me: Me too!
My Mom’s cool. I’ve already done Mexico a couple of times… and my first time was actually with my mom. We hung out for a week at this lovely resort in Manzanillo… had pina coladas for breakfast… tequila shooters for nightcaps… and these 2 young guys tried to pick us up in the elevator the first night we got there. And that’s when I knew for certain that we were gonna have a fabulous week there! heh
I was kinda disappointed that my travel plan to HK/Vietnam/Cambodia/Thailand in May couldn’t come through. Maybe this quick-getaway would help ease the post-holiday/pre-bday/rainy-gloomy-Vancouver-days/daily-work-stress bahumbah I’ve been feeling….
Where should we go?

Lanikai Beach, that’s exactly where I wanna be right now!
Your Mom’s pretty cool. You guys got picked up by someone in Mexico?! lol How hot is that!
Try Cuba! Or how about NYC and catch a show or sumthin’?
nice:) i love traveling with my mom,too tho she is too busy and have no time to do that anymore.. why is your mom so rich!!! i wanna try vegas. never been there but everybody says it’s fun.
Manzanillo is a great place to chill. I find that most of the other Mexican destinations are such party places, you can’t really just lay on the beach and relax.
Lanikai’s beautiful, isn’t it? Not too crowded with tourists like Waikiki.
I say go to Miami! And you can get inked up there too! lol
Go to Japan and run around naked at the onsen again!!
Why don’t you go to Southeast Asia with Kev & his crew? I’m sure you’d have a blast with them!
Day off today. Wish I was sitting on that beach in that picture, Martie!
I wish I can travel with my Mom like that. I love my Mom but we don’t always get along. There’s always these little things that we drive each other insane. I know it’s usually “for my own good”. “Buuttt MOOOOMMMMM! I’m old enough to know better!” hahaha However, since I’ve moved out, things have gotten much better.
Go stay at a nice hotel in Sin City! You can always just stay at the hotel and go for a spa or something.
pj – hey man, I’ve given up asking! She said she doesn’t want to go with just boys. *roll eyes*(c)martie And she can’t get on the same flights we’re going on.
hey vancouver, you and mrs. boboli can come visit me! my invite still stands, the left side of my bed awaits you!
i went to lanikai last summer! we drove up the coast and caught some waves. da kine, man!!
I bet Mexico looks good right about now. You need a vacation, woman!
Speaking of which, how was NYC?
