When I woke up this morning I had an hour to get ready before the bus came and picked me up. I was going to the airport to meet Chie coming in from Tokyo.

During that hour I had time to get breakfast at the pool side. A funny thing happened. A Japanese group also came to have breakfast. The sat at the table next to me. One of the guys in the group (maybe he was 50 years old) came with his breakfast. He had to walk around a chair and accidentally put his right foot over the edge of the pool and fell into it. SPLASH!!! It was hard not to laugh.

Then I went to the airport to meet Chie. We then got a rental car and went back to the hotel to leave Chie’s bags. Then we went shopping at Nieman Marcus and Nike Town.

At 5:30 pm we went to Duke’s for a dinner. Chie had Shrimp Scampi and I had Mochonong or something like that. A white fish prepared Duke’s Firecracker way. All of it was very tasty.

After dinner we went back to the hotel. Took a shower and went to bed. Jet-lagged.

Going to Hawaii

Early wakup in the morning to get to the airport in time for my flight to Newark. In Newark I had another connection flight direct to Honolulu. The whole trip was 9+10 = 19 hours. I arrived at the hotel in Honolulu some 25 hours or so after leaving home this morning. Quite tired I am.

Vacation in Kauai

Today I got the airtickets for my flight to Honolulu where I will meet Chie and fly to Kauai, less than 1 hours flight north of O’Ahu. We will spend two weeks there. For the third time.
