Next up for me anyway. Steven is going to miss this trip. Aunt Susie is taking her nephew to London as a high school graduation present. (Yes, I am the world's best aunt!!) My nephew is a joy to travel with. He laughs easily, is game to try things, and looks at the world with …

Homeward Bound
Our last day on the islands (so sad). We had a 1pm flight from Honolulu to LA then a 2 hour layover and onward to Chicago. We arrived at 6am on Saturday. All in the elapsed travel time - including airport time and taxi home was about 15 hours; a pretty long day. The flights …

We’ll Take It Easy On Travel Day
Tuesday was saying goodbye to Maui and aloha to Honolulu day. We had an exhausting 25-minute flight (We arrive an hour and 30 minutes before the flight to drop off the car and check the bags...so all in the wait at the airport was 3 x the flight time) after deciding we liked Colleen's so much …
Today we are going to sit by the pool
At least we were going to sit by the pool right after I had a surfing lesson. I signed up for a 10am lesson through Surf & Yoga in Kihei...about 10 mins away...2 hour lesson, then right to the pool. The lesson was great! Eddie, my instructor, had me up after only about 10 minutes …
The Gasoline Lemonade Acid War Zone Trail
My apologies to Tom Wolfe, but I couldn’t resist (if you don’t get the joke, google Tom Wolfe, find the book and read it). Today started with my company meeting. Everyone was forced to make important decisions at 9:00 — I went for the Bloody Mary, not the Mimosa — it was a brutal meeting …
The Sun Did Come Up…
After getting up at 1:30 (ok, 1:40 after hitting snooze), we took a sunrise tour up Haleakala to see the sunrise. Unfortunately, nature wasn’t on our side. We glimpsed beautiful streaks of pink between the clouds, and then it was light. I was freezing the whole time, but despite all that, it was worth it. …
Travel day
It has been a very long travel day. We left our house at 8am CST and arrived in our hotel room at 7pm in the Hawaii-Aleutian Time Zone. Adjusting that back to CST, it is midnight. That is the thing about traveling, flying time was about 10 hours, but the elapsed time was 16 hours. …
I am just forgetful
We leave tomorrow so last weekend we started our packing processes, which like so many things are very different. Sue seems to just keep it all in her head and then grabs things willy-nilly and chucks them into a suitcase (I can hold a lot more in my brain than some other people) – or that is …
