Sunday Honolulu

Cloudy, warm with enough sunshine to pacify the aches and pains of aging.

Yesterday at Maui we drove to the
Southwestern town of Hana. I had been there before but my mind had simply chosen to forget the curves and twists that are most memorable. I am willing to acknowledge the scenic lush beauty of the landscape but it is a long drive that makes California's highway 1 seem like a Straight road. I have promised Ken that I have made my last trip to Hana! Now to remember my aversion to the road, the curves and the wash outs (the islands have endured an excess of rain recently) and stick to my guns!
Today Ken and I visited the Pearl Harbor Memorial for an emotional reminder of another period in our history. We had a fantastic tour dirctor who did a wonderful job of reminding us of the cultural history of Oahu and shared many memorablet tidbits of Island life.
Don and Linda spent the day in the vicinity of Waikiki and enjoyed their day free of the " old. Folks".
There you have it for our first week "on the high seas".
