This November we were able to convert a portion of T's stockpile of miles & hotel points into the most amazing vacation either of us can remember. We pushed aside our winter gear and packed up everything needed for a tropical clime, and the four of us headed to Kauai for an indulgent stay in Princeville. Luca made huge progress at swimming thanks to long, daily sessions in the most beautiful pool ever. He also mastered the Hawaiian "shaka" sign (otherwise known as hang loose, but properly taught to us by our new friend, Kaleo) and was entirely at ease in his island setting. Julian was a champ, too, even on our multiple flights to and from Kauai.
The cherry on top of this trip was being able to spend Thanksgiving with the Mazzoccos on our way back home. Quality time in 'Zaccoland (as dubbed by Luca) certainly softened the blow of leaving paradise.
