In March, Bill and I headed off to Kauai with two other couples. The men are golfers, the women booksellers—how great was that?! We stayed at Ben and Kristin Hannah’s FABULOUS surfside vacation home. Alas, Kristin was stuck back in Washington State working on her newest book while she waits for the late June paperback release of The Things We Do for Love, so I entertained myself by calling her on the phone and bragging about all the fun I was having in her house while she was working away. (I’m so mean.) We also visited with Jill Marie Landis (author of upcoming Heat Wave and Heartbreak Hotel) and her husband Steve. Jill and Steve are one of the most gracious and entertaining couples on the planet.

- Gorgeous sunrise view from the Hannah deck. I took this in my pajamas.

- A postcard pose of Bill and me

- Jill Marie Landis and husband Steve. (Jill almost didn’t let me post this because I took it in the rain, but not even “rain hair” can keep this terrific author from looking adorable. And check out Steve’s blue eyes. Could he be any cuter?)

- My first helicopter ride. Glorious!

- In addition to a hiking excursion, I decide to try “zipping.” Here I am suited up.

- Me on the zip line being adventurous. Very fun!
