6. The Quest is Over…

I now have the object of my long quest. There is an old saying that “Third Times the Charm” and on my third trip to Walmart since coming to Hawaii I got The Return of the King. I can hardly wait to watch it. So if you are wonder what I did in Hawaii I went to Walmart.

On getting to the island which we are currently at, which is the main island, we rented a Mini Van from Hertz(this is not a paid advertisement for Hertz, or for Mini Vans either) and then we went directly to Walmart where I went directly to the DVD section and got an Extended edition of the Return of the King into my clutches as quickly as I possibly could.

After Walmart, where I also got some snacks as I was hungry since it had been over an hour since breakfast, we wento the Volcano park and looked at lava. Now, riding around in a Mini Van isn’t very adventurous but riding around in a mini van with both sliding doors open looking at a volcano spewing out lave is rather adventurous. Since everybody but me has cameras with them and is taking pictures I sat in the middle seat and just enjoyed my self. We mainly had the doors open to take pictures out of them without stopping the car. I think that inbetween everybody at least a thousand pictures a day are taken. I believe that God should be sincerely thanked for digital cameras.

The volcano area was really neat. We walked on now cooled lava and drove along a road built on top of it. And then we returned to the ship after several hours of volcanoing. Which is currently were we are at now and it is about time to go eat again.

Today I discovered something. My Dad thinks that for a certain fact I have something called “Hyper Glycimia” though I may have the spelling wrong. I do think I have all of the symptons. I have to eat every few hours and if I eat sugar it has a very negative effect on me. Fortunately I think I also have a high metabolism rate because though I eat plenty and often I’m not particularly fat.

This evening/afternoon I have the delightful prospect of watching things before me as I also got two disc of cartoons. But one thing I am really going to watch, probably, is the parts of the movie with Farimir and Eowyn. The parts with the two of them in the book were probably my favorite of the whole book. After all that each had gone through, and after all I had gone through in the book it was very nice to have a “romantic” bit of the book. And in case you know nothing at all about Farimir and Eowyn, they got married and had the only romance in the book that was detailed from their first meeting to the wedding, or maybe it was just to the official betrothal but I’m pretty sure it made it to the wedding.

So now off to eat!
