Fairway Villa Honolulu

... It looks like a postcard, a long thin beach, with gold sand as soft as powder Nearby are two tiny offshore Mokulua islands, which are seabird sanctuaries; kayakers can easily paddle to them. The lagoon at Lanakai looks like a giant saltwater swimming pool. It's for morning swims, the Koolau mountains block the afternoon sun. So peaceful.
Next we headed north along the windward side of Oahu ...

... turned into a two-and-a-half hour meander up the mountain, with me constantly having to wait for him. The view at the top, though, was pretty great, and it was fairly well worth it. I ditched KV when we got back to the falls trail, though, because I was ready to get back down and needed to make sure I caught my bus back into town since I had a shuttle to the airport arranged.

I got back to town, caught my shuttle, caught my plane and set off into the night to my next destination.

... else. A smarter option would be what we did last time in 2004 - but a cheap prepaid handset and recharge it as required with airtime minutes. I managed to negotiate the waiver of most of the bill for data usage, but still an expensive lesson learned!

... Airport with my backpack on, from Go! through security, to the boarding area, where there was NO annoucement of any mechanical error or plane delay... i had to figure it out until it was too late.. (i was staring out the window, chewing on some naan, watching the luggage of the Hawaiian Airlines being put onto the plane and looking back and forth at the Go! plane just sitting there. Looking back and forth at the Hawaiian Airlines passengers boarding, and us just ...

... Incidentally, I was contacted by the director of the EEOC, asking me if I wanted to proceed, after I was shown a copy of the company's response, which I don't believe is proper. I now see in the EEOC's and the HCRC's own publications, matters such as mine that were investigated and even adjudicated. During the HCRC's lack of investigation, I only heard from them at the intake and when I received their letter of dismissal. I now find the investigator did business ...

... Let's go to Europe next year and live in an RV, Ana!"..............."Ummm, OK" - we decided on Europe for its access to medical care for baby Akash. (I would have preferred this itinerary: Macchu Picchu, Galapagos, Panama, Nicaragua, coastal India). Ana and I both are anti-cold weather, so it was easy to further narrow the trip to Europe's Mediterranean, from May to October. Next question: which countries and how long in each? Two months in ...

... told them that I had to change rooms in the morning and I need a smaller room as well, It was now around 3.30am and I went back to the room and most of the people were sleeping apart room this old man that was laying in his bed in his off white nasty little Y-Front pants playing his ****ing mouth organ, I said to him you better give that a ...

With barely a wink of rest the night previously because of unadulterated boozing, off my adventure begins! The flight is set for 8:40 AM, and I wasn't feeling "right" right at the moment. My body wanted to rest for a few more hours, but I had to fight it. Reliable Chris picked me up; I still had guck in my eyes! I had arrived at HNL International with ...

... Apparently the current is much much less at the bottom. Shannon's Scuba Adventure, Take 2 This time I headed down and didn't stop to let myself freak out until we got there. It was a little scary. Ok, it was a lot scary. But he was right - the current was nothing on the bottom of the ocean like it was on the way down there. Still, every once in a while I had to think of yoga and meditation and just ...

... Suite available. DH was upstairs and I can't yell it to him because I don't want the kids to hear. I run up the stairs, I strain my leg muscles in the process. I told him about the Deluxe Family PHS. He said to take it. I was like, "Can we afford it"? DH is the "cheap" type. Hearing this from him was so unbelievable. I let him made the call and we got it. DH said to forget the up sell fairy calling us. This is the highest category we can get for party of 5. This will ...
