You did 101 without repeating any of them? Great job. They are all so true!!
Great list. I keep coming back to look at it and eveytime I find something I missed the last ime. I did notice that you said something about Matsumoto's shaved ice being the best. We're going to HI tomorrow and that is #1 on my list of things to do!! I'll let you know what we think :)
When I first read your title I thought this must be a joke can she really list 101. I am very proud of you I think I would be up all night just thinking and trying not to repeat any of them, that's the hard part. I love them all. great post.
