I headed south. WAAAAAAAY south!  I needed some warmth!  

I wandered around awhile, trying to decide where to go.  I thought about going to South America, but then I turned right in California and ended up in Hawaii.

What is it about a Lab driving a Woodie that causes such curiousity?  It was obvious that they hadn't seen one before. 

Once they got used to me, the natives were very welcoming.

I toured around the beaches.     Hawaii has some beautiful beaches.  I just pulled up in the Woodie, got out and went swimming.  I love to swim and the water was so clear and warm. 

I even swam with dolphins.

I island hopped, trying out as many beaches as I could.

I guess I soon became a beach fixture.  As soon as I pulled up someone would shout my name and try to give me a high five.  Since I had my dewclaws removed when I was 3 days old, all I could do was give them a high 4. 

Some of the beaches were pretty remote and I had them all to myself.

I tried to stay away from the more touristy places.

Sometimes the Woodie was the only vehicle around.

I did go out and see the haleakala crater.  That was pretty cool!

I found myself on the road to the big Island.

When I got there some of the natives asked if I wanted to enter a hula contest.  I had never hula'ed before, but I was good at wiggling my butt when I wagged my tail so I thought I'd give it a go.

I found a couple of hula outfits to wear and joined the contest.

I excelled in "beach wear" hula.

I made it to the finals!  I was a hula sensation!

Once again I won the beach wear portion of the contest.

I hula'ed my butt off and was declared the winner!!!  Nobody can wiggle their butt like a Labrador.

Afterwards, I took a few days and relaxed.
