I don't think the observatory does tours inside the facility in the normal course of things, though. Kathleen, I do hope this Blue Mars project comes to fruition --it'll be pretty cool if it's even half of what we talked about! Blogging . .. not just a hobby, a way of life! Roald, it *was* a lovely trip, a great balance of relaxing and working. And Greg and Stan, well, they're old hands at yarning! (don't know if you'll get the pun, "yarn" is American slang for a story, as in, "He told a great yarn about his trip") marti, I've got one sock done and I'll show a picture of it soon. Sandy, thanks! You must work on getting back to Hawaii, it's quite wonderful.

Loverly pictures, especially of the icy sunset & the sporting yarnsters ;) Harena/Sandy *gooshes incoherently over the awesomenesses of that trip*

I am very sure those points will come in handy, particularly in my own journeys of these days. What a wonderful voyage, and I am really glad to see such privilege come to Greg for what is found in the most careful entries into his books. So, good to see the appreciation. With the links you gave, quite a density, and relaxation too in your trip. What a good time it sounds. Good to see Greg and KSR giving yarn their all ;) All best, Roald Astrid, thank you very kindly ;) . I am very sure those points will come in handy, particularly in my own journeys of these days.

My son and I had no idea where you were going ...wait until I tell him what you were up to. He is a gamer...I read the Mars books by Kim many years ago, and of course Moving Mars was one of my favourites. Love the photo of you with your shawl and the one with the guys is priceless. I don't think my husband has a clue about what my blogging entails....he says it is a nice little hobby for me. As if I needed another hobby! What a wonderful experience, thank you for sharing.

My experience of Hawaii is limited to Kauai and a quick trip to Honolulu; I had no idea about the Observatory. As an astronomy buff of sorts, that would be a dream day trip for me. Wow. And my crocuses to be are currently under two feet of snow (usually I'm seeing shoots soon, but hard to do that right now!), so I'm needing a green and flower fix (not long enough in the conservatory!). Thanks for sharing! Oh, what an amazing trip!
