• Hawaii- I have to get there some time soon.
• Horse Shoe Crabs- They arrived every Memorial Weekend, hundreds of them lined the bulkhead along our house that overlooked Barnaget Bay, NJ. We would go down in to the water at low tide and try to find the longest string of entwined crabs.  They linked together by their tails, five or six or more locked together.  We would pick up the cluster of them and show off these pre-historic creatures.  Then we would fling them back in the water.
