Those pancakes make you look 6 years old. Enjoy it there, the weather isn't exactly paradise here.

What was the weather look like in Jan. 2009?
Hi Nice blogs overall. Thanks. What was the weather look like in Jan. each year? Did you swim a lot? What is the ocean temprature when you were there? We may go, but heard the weather is a main concern. Is that bad, or no?

Jan 2009 Weather
Fortunately, while we were in Oahu we experienced great weather. Kauai on the other hand was a whole lot of rain. As for the water temperature, I found it to be alarmingly cold. Keep in mind I'm used to the warmer Atlantic Ocean, so my gauge may be a bit biased.
