Welcome to Hell, I mean Honolulu

It’s not THAT bad. It’s just a travel day where I’ve been up late packing. And I mean late. 3:30am, or was it 4.

Eating breakfast by 8:30 which is miracle for Jeff — considering how hung over he is, and that he doesn’t do mornings.

GE and Riversong were a little late to pick us up from the boat — Jeff napped in the bushes. I guarded the bags and read the morning paper.

First stop was to drop off our bags at GE’s mother’s condo. Then we are off on a hike. NOT my idea, but it turned out well. Shots below.

After hiking for a couple of hours, a plate lunch that we took to a park to eat. Then it’s off to the local’s gay beach (rather than the tourist gay beach in Waikiki).

Picked up a couple of bottles of wine — one bottle two many. It was me and GE’s sis-in-law drinking, well, his mother had one sip. More food — Hawaiaan Pot Roast with Porteguese Sausage, fresh bread and salad — oh, and killer cocount ice cream and peach cobbler for desert — I had a very small sample of each. Still really full from the pulled pork lunch.

Cab to the airport was $25 with tip, and quick. Checked in, seats 4C and 4D up front — I put Jeff in the window since I know he’s going to sleep.
