Sunday, January 12, 2025 We got up before sunrise, returned the car, saw the sun shine, and got on a plane. We flew to Seattle. I watched Bad Boys: Ride or Die, Yesterday, and most of Angels and Demons. (While holding my phone, because there are no screens in seatbacks and there was not even […]
Saturday, January 11, 2025 Keith and I walked over to the pool. It was the first time we had gone to see it. We saw turkeys on the way. I love those turkeys. It was nice – kiddie pool and hot tub and cute palm trees in pots and an exercise room and a pool
Friday, January 11, 2025 I had an idea when I woke up. I thought we should look for malasadas. They are a Portuguese doughnut (without a hole) that are apparently quite the thing in Hawaii. I searched and found a place 21 minutes away. It seemed a bit far to go for a doughnut, but
Thursday, January 9, 2025 We spent some hours on the balcony again this morning. It is so nice out. We have so many birds flying around; it’s wonderful. I am in love with the turkeys. They come around quite often and I just watch them. Some Nene geese came around to show us Hawaii’s national
Wednesday, January 8, 2025 We went to the only vanilla factory in the United States. It was incredible. I cannot say enough good things about it. We stopped at McDonald’s on the way for breakfast to try the Hawaiian big breakfast – eggs, rice, Portuguese sausage, and Spam. Keith loved it. Sometimes there are dogs
Tuesday, January 7, 2025 After a delightful SPAM and eggs breakfast, we set out for Volcanos National Park. The map said it was 2 hours away and we would want to stay 4-6 hours. Sounded like a good day out. We had our audio guide man, Ray, telling us about stuff as we went. The

Monday, January 6, 2025 We had a reason to stop and look even before we left our parking lot. Keith found some awesome audio guides for the island. We (partially) did one today. It said it would take 8-12 hours (depending on what you chose to do). We left by 8:45am and got home at

Sunday, January 5, 2025 We just keep saying, “We’re in Hawaii,” so it must be true. We have a great balcony with a table and four chairs. We trickled down this morning as we woke up and ended up out on the balcony. We have trees to look at (with golfers just beyond) and birds
Saturday, January 4, 2025 We got two companion tickets from Alaska airlines and invited Gary and Julie (the original) to join us on the island of Hawaii. Gary told us that he had unfortunate luck with TSA and to expect him to be stopped. We abandoned him and Julie to go use TSA precheck. I

Friday, January 3, 2024 We need to leave for the airport at 5am tomorrow. Alexander is okay with taking us, but I need to know he isn’t going to sleep through his alarm, so he has come to sleep here. He also worries about being late when early morning things are happening, so he is
