Hawaii Final Snapshots
There are some things about Hawaii that I will never forget. Some, like man boobs, speedos that can barely be seen because of overhanging geography, and really big fanny packs, I will diligently try to forget. But there are others, snapshots that I will recall and savor every time I think of our week in [...]

Hawaii Day 8 The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly 1
The nice thing about having a 10:20 p.m. flight is that you get a bonus day in the islands. As usual, with no big plans, we checked out and made plans on the fly. First stop: The National Cemetery of the Pacific, or The Punchbowl, located [...]

Hawaii Day 7: Taking One for the Team
We were woken by the rising sun a little after 6:00, I’d left the curtains slightly open when I went to bed last night so if we woke early enough, we would have the option to snorkel or choose to skip it if too tired and try Randy’s alternate [...]

Hawaii Day 6: Maui
Continuing our pseudo-jet setter lifestyle, we were up at the crack of dawn, quite a bit before actually-someone from Michigan who didn’t understand timezones called at 9:00 a.m. Michigan time, 3 a.m. here-and headed to the airport to catch a plane to Maui for the day. Breaking our pattern, the plane both [...]

Hawaii Day 5: More of the Best
We had a day with no particular plans other than to go to the USS Arizona Memorial. We had been warned to arrive early because the tickets go quickly. A visit to the Memorial is free but the ticket is a must as only so many at a time [...]

Hawaii Day 4: The Best things in Life . . .
I will start with a disclaimer. I tried a new drink tonight, the Tropical Itch. It had a good dose of bourbon in it, an alcohol that I was previously unfamiliar with. The bartender was generous and let’s just say that it’s lucky I didn’t [...]

Kauai
Sort of like jetsetters, we headed to the airport at 5:15 to catch a plane to Kauai, The Garden Island, supposedly the oldest and fourth larest in the Hawaiian chain. Continuing our tradition of being a flight delay magnet, we arrived to find out that, Oops!, Hawaiian Airline somehow managed to forget to assign a [...]

Circumnavigating the Big “O”
“>
What is it about 5:52? Stinking digital clocks! Time to get up. Nearly noon PDT but not quite sunrise here. Larry was awake too so we decided to go out and watch the sun come up. We walked down the beach toward Diamond Head and saw the sky turn pink, then lavender [...]

Chasing the Sun
“>
Larry got off early Friday and was ready to go by the time I arrived home at 5:30. He was a bit surprised when I said I was ready to go with just a carpet bag packed for a week in the islands. But as Fawn says, what more do you need other [...]
