海斯先生夏威夷度假去

my god! it's full of stars!
老天，星星滿天！
I leave Hawaii tomorrow.
我明天就要離開夏威夷了。
Been here on a vacation with my family and have loved it.
Woke up to the sound of the ocean most days and a macaw
named 'coco' most others.
我和家人在夏威夷度假，我們很愛這邊。起床的時候有海浪的聲音伴著，還有一隻名叫Coco的鸚鵡陪伴我們。
On our final night we all sat outside on the porch and watched how the stars formed in the sky. As my Aunt pointed out.. the stars weren't just above us... they were all around in a dome. You forget how much the buildings and the lights of the city can fool you into believing otherwise. But we are really surrounded by stars.
在夏威夷的最後一晚，我們在陽台看星星，阿姨說：「群星並不是高高掛在天空，而是環繞在整個蒼穹。」來到這裡，你會忘記那些使你困惑的城市高樓和炫目燈光，因為，群星圍繞著你。
It was amazing to spend time with my Mum and ask her all these questions I'd always wanted to ask but only ever thought of when she was away. Just history lessons really. The why, how, what of growing up - questions only she has the answers to.
She's such a fucking amazing Woman.
問了媽媽很多問題，她真是個妙人。我問了她總是不想回答的問題，但不就是些老故事，為什麼長大？怎麼長大？長大是什麼？都是只有媽媽能回答的問題。她就是這麼妙的一個人。
It's been weird seeing Christmas start to take form in a tropical climate.Only a few years in England and I'm already used to the cold at this time. Seeing Santa in a Hawaiian shirt and no shoes at the mall was kind of way too much of a culture shock!
其實看到熱帶地區的聖誕節實在是有點奇怪，前幾年我都習慣了英國濕冷的聖誕節，在這，看到聖誕老人穿著夏威夷衫實在是有夠顛覆傳統。
It's kind of sad really, how much money we all just throw away on this holiday.And before I get anyone up in arms, let me say that I'm talking about commercialization not religion. For me, with or without a spiritual significance, Christmas is about my family. It's quite an intimate thing because it represents the putting down of work tools and the comig together in spite of distance, time and differences.
To me it's a stock take at the end of the year.. in an emotional sense.
不過回頭看看這次度假的確所費不貲，在我想把每個人都抱在懷裡之前，我想說點無關宗教的話，對我而言，聖誕節無關宗教，只關家人。這私密的一刻，就是要和工作區隔，這一年之末，是感性的。
It's weird you know.. my Mum left on an earlier flight than me today and I still get lump in my throat when we part. Rich and I went back to the house we all rented and as 'coco' the parrot came flying up to the property.. a massive rainbow extended from one side of the world to the other. I'm not normally one for Rainbows.. but today it just seemed like a little sign.
很奇怪，當我媽坐早一班飛機離開的時候，我有一種哽咽感。我和李察回到租的房子，看到Coco，那隻鸚鵡飛來，一道虹彩從世界的另一邊畫來，我不常看到虹，但也許是個什麼預兆。
Gonna head to SF for a few days before coming home for Christmas.
聖誕節前要去舊金山。
Might write. Might not. Depends on the jet lag!
不知道還會不會留言給你們，要看時差！
