Great news...now don't start wondering what he is doing or where he went, or how long it will take. That will kill all of your efforts. No more questions...you keep slipping them in, every chance you can...don't ask...let him divulge the information.
You do have a lot of great positives coming your way...you will love Hawaii. I took 57 pictures of just volcanoes and about 15 from the window of the plane when we saw all of the "sandwich islands"...you will have fun.
