Magnum Mania!

Conch:

Incredible photos, with excellent attention to detail!! It might have taken you some time to make the pilgrimage, but you certainly did it right! And, I must say, that you obviously married well, as your wife went far beyond what most spouses would.

The lads have changed over the years ....



I wanted to leave something as a momento but couldn't find a nice little Flamingo so, I left a little something from all of us.

Boy-Howdy! Now THAT is the face of a happy camper!


Great seeing you enjoy your visit to what appears to be, the same level of enthusiasim as I know I would.

Thanks for taking the time to keep us up to date.

Have you attended a luau yet?

Enjoy!

In case you didn't notice, I posted the pics out of order. The one with Mrs. Conch and I and the signatures is pre-flight ... I look a lot more nervous there than in the one after!

We did do a Luau, Disney had one on property at Aulani so we planned on that for New Year's Eve. It was fun and Pat Monahan from Train was there with his family as well! (we had better seats )

I meant to ask, is that piece of paper inserted in the gate a note from you explaining your connection with COZI TV and this site and the need to have a proper tour of The Estate.........

That sign on the gate is about the security system. As antiquated as a WW II soldier ......

I was able to procure a copy of the security note through Wiki-leaks..........

Warning to all visitors............
This site is now under the watch of the United States Department of Homeland Security and all of its entities........
As such, please be warned this property is no longer monitored by a strapping mustachioed man driving a red ferrari, two dogs, a malfunctioning electric fence, a Major-Domo with a 1980's Commodore Computer.
It is upgraded to the latest in international security systems so be fair warned.

NOTE TO ALL RUSSIAN PERSONNEL;
The system and entry box on right of gate is automatically reset to factory default codes (O-O-O-O) every hour on the hour so don't even think you can outsmart us. That was code: O-O-O-O..........

Ha PERFECT!

You are right, Mrs. Conch went over and above on this one. Three visits to the Estate in7 days . . . just when I think I realize how lucky I am she surprises me, I couldn't think of a better way to kick off my 50th year, in the 50th state. Pete Five Oh indeed!

Aside from a few stragglers from other devices I'll need to import, the last batch of pictures were updated to the FB album in case anyone is interested in checking them out.

Thanks again for all the responses, I hope I shared enough for you all to get a feel for what it was like!

PERFECT!

Thanks again for all the updates.

Am going to check out each and every pic you put on FB.

Hope you are relaxing and at the limit of your capacity to enjoy and experience.

FANtastic pictures on your FB page!

Don't have to tell you how lucky you are to have a partner that stands beside you, and enjoys the same things as you do, you cannot put a value on that, it's priceless, in the true sense of the word.

You guys are just having a grand time, from the looks of it...very happy for you.

You did it "right". You planned, you saved, you mapped out a course, talked to people who had gone before you, did everything just the way it should be done. You should both be proud of yourselves on top of being at the pinnacle of enjoyment. Pretty sure I would be, were I in your position!

Good on you both!

Keep up the fun, and stay safe & happy.

Gettin a little "chilly" back here in the east......

Enjoy every moment!

308 said it all........... Thank you and Mrs. Ultimate for sharing..........

This thread is all kinds of wonderful. Thanks for sharing so much, Conch.

Thanks for the lovely photos of your vacation, especially
Robin's Nest. I hope there are more to come.

I've been meaning to look for your pics, and I finally got to do that today. Great pics, Conch! On that one pic of the balcony, I can just imagine Higgins pacing back and forth up there, calling out to the lads on patrol down below. What an awesome trip!

I loved what you left behind at the fence too.

I can't believe all my picture are now dumped due to PhotoBucket's TOS change.

Wow, that's totally crummy. You can't even load the image directly at PhotoBucket.

Yep. Looks like a Hail Mary pass for them as a last effort cash grab. Give it to 'em for free until they're hooked, then charge 'em up the ass. Classic drug dealer economics.

CR -- If you care to send me the images, I can load them on my server and serve them from there. PM me for contact info if you like.

Happy to announce that we'll be back at the Robin's Nest on 1st October.
Any particular things we should be looking at?

We'll bring Aqua Socks for this time which should make he lath to the beach easier when the water is a bit higher .
