		<description>I stayed in Hanalei Bay on the north shore of Kauai. Hanalei is a very small town with just a single small hotel, lots of locals and a few tourists driving through to reach some good hiking trails at the end of the road.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve interviewed dozens of people about what they would do if there were no Internet. Four of them answered that they&#039;d be surfing the waves, instead of the web. Mike, you&#039;re probably one of them.

I myself went completely offline for a full month last December and wrote a book about it.  I&#039;m curious if you recognize the 4 phases that I went through, going cold turkey without the Internet.  (no iPhone as well!)

You can read about my experiment  here:

Cheers!

		<description>I am a little disappointed that you chose Kauai over Maui (just a little) but defnitely happy that you chose Hawaii for your vacation.  Come to Maui next time? (I know... sorry for nagging).

Anyway, I am commenting just to let you know I am happy that you had a nice vacation. You deserved it :)

		<description>Surfing in Hawaii makes you feel like a god. Now if they could only bring that ease-of-use to Montauk waves, New Yorkers would be far less snarky! ;-) 

I&#039;ll join the chorus: Welcome back!</description>

		<description>Good to see you&#039;re back in the fray; hope you hiked the Hanakapeai Trail while you were on the North Shore.  It&#039;s spectacular, and you seemed like you could use some exertion that didn&#039;t bring spittle-hurling VCs out of the woodwork.  Then again, since Kauai was used as the set for &quot;Jurassic Park,&quot; maybe one of the &quot;spitter&quot; dinosaurs would have popped out of the underbrush.  And immediately demanded prime mention on TC for its social networking-meets-mobile-meets-dinopr0n site...</description>
