Obama’s Vacation

I’m glad he’s having a good vacation.  Believe me!  There is nothing like a good Hawaiian vacation to calm your nerves and refresh your whole being.  I don’t know if it’s the number of ions in the air or the fact that you are surrounded by the immense colors blue and green, but Hawaii is and has always been my vacation destination.  In fact I am longing for it now and when I see Obama and his family enjoying all things the islands have to offer: sun, sand, waves, beach, great food, interesting and friendly people, music, hula, laughter, quiet reflection. flowers, casual dress and manner…. the list is endless.  It just makes me want it more and more.

Alan Wong’s is my hands down favorite restaurant and chef.  I have eaten there many many times.  On one ten day vacation my husband and I actually ate there five different nights.  Alan came out of the kitchen to check on us himself and serve the chef’s choice dessert plate which consisted of five tastes!  To hear that Obama is enjoying the care and attention of my favorite chef makes me tear up, not with envy, but with gratitude.

Seeing the love and tenderness he shows for his girls as he cuddles them close, walks with them near the surf, putting a flower behind Sasha’s ear… I also hope he is getting time to read a novel or two and have some romantic time with Michelle.  The sound of the surf, the moonlight on a balmy night, the curtains blowing in the fragrant air… It’s time to make love, Mr President.  And I don’t think we’re going to have to worry about Barack getting caught with an intern or any other woman for that matter.

I wish you a million moons over Hawaii.
Aloha.
