We were on the island of Hawaii for five days and on Oahu for three days. For both we rented a car to venture out from the resort where we stayed. Each night we'd sketch out our plans for the following day. Sometimes we stuck with the plan, sometimes we didn't, but we thoroughly enjoyed each day. Honolulu is a great city for walking and exploring, with many choices of things to do. Oahu is quieter with amazing natural beauty.
I have to say I'd love a trip anywhere with Ivan. Well, anywhere except Atlantic City. But this was the best trip we've ever had. I think it was better than a honeymoon because we've been together more than thirty years and love and appreciate each other that much more than newlyweds. He got completely away from work and I got completely away from being a patient. Actually he got (almost) completely away from work and I got (almost) completely away from being a patient, because we had several important discussions about the company and I had bone pain in my feet sometimes. But we both felt totally removed from our usual routine, free from responsibilities and free to have fun.
I'll let the postcards tell Installment One of our report to the Sassterhood. Stay tuned for the next post, Hawaii - the Slide Show!
ALOHA!
Love,
Jan and Gene
