Wedding Weekend

My "little" brother got married this weekend. What a joyous occasion it turned out to be! He's been with his now-wife for about 7 years, and my family loves her to pieces, so this weekend was a fun formality for all of us.

As I type this, they are en-route to their honeymoon destination, Hawaii. They will spend a couple of days on the Big Island and Oahu, and then a week on Kaua'i. It's a very similar itinerary to my honeymoon, a mere 4 years ago. My husband and I spent 4 days on Oahu and another week on Kaua'i. This was probably the best time of my life. I hope that my brother and his wife have as much fun as we did. Maybe they'll decide to live out there and not come back to the mainland. If this turns out to be the case, you bet my hubby and I will be joining them! ;)

After all the wedding weekend festivities, my hubby and I were completely exhausted and opted to stay home yesterday and just watch cheesy movies. In the midst of our cheesy movie marathon, we happened across a trailer for a new (potentially cheesy) movie coming out in a couple of weeks - "A Perfect Getaway, " starring Milla Jovovich and Steve Zahn. As the trailer began, we noticed the familiar sight of the Na Pali coast on Kaua'i. Further into the trailer, we began to recognize more and more of the scenery, finally coming to the realization that the movie is set on the Kalalau Trail - a trail that hubby and I hiked on our honeymoon.

While I'm not certain that this movie will be terribly good, it should provide for some beautiful scenery. We'll definitely be seeing it, at least to reminisce and remember how much fun we had hiking the trail. Besides, we have something in common with the main characters. We also fought for our lives on the trail. Not at the hands of killers, mind you, but at the hands of dehydration. OK, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but we did make a very stupid mistake. See, we did not account for how strenuous the trail was going to be, and didn't pack enough water for the full trip. Oops. Luckily, some experienced hikers saw our mistake and gave us some of their's. Bless them, whoever they are and wherever they may be.
