Back to Paradise

I never seem to tire of Hawaii. Well, there was that 8 years or more break that I took off from coming to Hawaii. It had nothing to do with me tiring of Hawaii, though, but more to do with my being proactive about seeing other places in the world. My Hawaii thing has been … Continue reading »

Is It Monday Already?!

You got me – I got nothing!  I’m not exactly prepared.  I realize that I didn’t even bother to post anything last Monday for Musical Monday.  As for today, I just finished downing a bottle of prosecco with a friend and I’m riding high knowing that I’m off to Hawaii in a few days and … Continue reading »

Checking Things Off

There are 3, actually 4, more trips for me coming up before the end of the year.  The upcoming one next week will be Santa Fe, the longest one will be Vietnam, the one I’m most excited about is Hawaii and then there’s that little jaunt to Las Vegas just because. Santa Fe is, for … Continue reading »

Trial and Error Travel

There’s a bit of a lull before my next trip.  It’s not even the end of June and I’ll be “stationary” in San Francisco until mid-August.  On August 16th, I’ll fly to Albuquerque, New Mexico, then take a shuttle to Santa Fe to be there the weekend of Indian Market.  A couple of people had … Continue reading »

The Boys Are Back In Town

In actuality, it’s me that’s back in town.  The boys are calling and texting me, though. Remember Guy #2, J., from the on-line dating website?  After 3 dates, I’d told him that we could be friends and he was fine with that, yet didn’t bother to contact him again; we’d never exchanged phone numbers, either. … Continue reading »

Back to the Grind

My vacations, particularly those in warm, tropical places, always end too soon.  This one was no different. Didn’t my last post leave off on Sunday night?  By Monday, the sun had returned, so a few hours by the pool in the morning was in order.  My left over pasta was lunch before my second visit … Continue reading »

Welcome to Paradise

Believe it or not, procrastinator that I am, I did manage to find everything that needed to be packed, except for my barong ring.  That barong ring has been misplaced for a couple of months.  It makes me uncomfortable to travel without it (another of my superstitious habits), so will make a concentrated effort to … Continue reading »

For My Tutu

Whenever I fly to Hawaii, I always think of my Tutu so strongly. She was full of life; constantly singing, playing ukulele and dancing hula.  Although she’s been gone for many years now and is buried on Kauai, these songs make me think of her – “Kaimana Hila (because she always sang it),” “The Koolaus … Continue reading »

Another Musical Monday

…  and I’m still in Hawaii mode.  Here’s J.T. (Jordan Tolentino), who plays with Maoli, performing two of his singles.  The second one, “Sunset  Tonight,” is getting play on the Hawaiian radio stations recently. “Only Lover” and “Sunset Tonight” – Jordan Tolentino

Dirty Business

I’ve got four things on my “Dirty Business” list.  These are the things that I don’t look forward to doing, but they need to be done for my mental and emotional well-being. Dirty Business Number One is to give my roommate his 30 Day Notice.  He won’t be happy.  In fact, I think he’ll try … Continue reading »
