Weekend in L.A.

Posted on 17 June, 2014 by Tina

Wasn’t that the title of an old George Benson album?  If so, it’s very appropriate for this post. Saturday morning I fled the fog of San Francisco for the sunnier climes of SoCal.  This was my first time using AirBnB for lodging.  The apartment I’d chosen was in West Hollywood, about 5 blocks from my … Continue reading »

Hysteria Sets In

Posted on 8 June, 2014 by Tina

Saturday morning came far too soon.  I woke up early, then went back to sleep, in hopes that my leaving that day was a dream.  My Aussie friend’s flight was at 8:00 or 9:00 a.m., so I texted her to apologize for not being able to spend any time with her the day before.  She … Continue reading »

Eat the Street

Posted on 8 June, 2014 by Tina

On Friday morning, my first order of business was to mail MY package to myself.  I mailed out the coconut butter, poke seasoning, granola and tea, along with the clothes I’d already worn.  I was bringing my NEW clothes back in my suitcase WITH me!  The Post Office opened at 9:00 a.m. and I walked … Continue reading »

Winding Down

Posted on 8 June, 2014 by Tina

With Thursday came the realization that my vacation was nearly over.  That’s about the time that I begin to get sad, but my friend was by in the morning (after my sunbathing, of course) to cheer me up.  Since I’d promised to send those “snacks” to my boss’ boss’ boss, he took me to the … Continue reading »

He Got Game

Posted on 8 June, 2014 by Tina

Wednesday morning was another early one – more shopping at the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet.  VIP Shuttle was picking me up at 8:00 a.m.  All of the shuttle drivers that I’ve ever had from VIP are super sweet.  Most of the shuttle drivers from the other companies are that way, too, but the ones from … Continue reading »

Onward to the Palace

Posted on 3 June, 2014 by Tina

My friend had to cancel breakfast on Tuesday morning ’cause he was sick.  Thus, I lounged by the pool a tad longer than usual. Still feeling cultural, I headed off to Iolani Palace.  The last time I was in the Palace was probably 1994.  They no longer offer guided tours, only audio ones.  Entrance was … Continue reading »

Memorial Day Weekend

Posted on 3 June, 2014 by Tina

I didn’t stray too far from my hotel, after all, last Sunday.  The Charthouse was about a block and a half away, so I popped in there for a drink and possibly a bite to eat.  The crowd consisted of mostly older couples and Japanese tourists listening to a drunken duo play Hawaiian music.  I … Continue reading »

Slow Sunday

Posted on 25 May, 2014 by Tina

It wasn’t exactly hot by the pool this morning.  It wasn’t cold, either; just pleasant.  I did, however, seem to be a tone darker after coming in. My plan was to head down to check out the Art on the Fence at the Honolulu Zoo.  Local artists show their art there every Saturday and Sunday … Continue reading »

Almost Too Relaxed to Blog

Posted on 25 May, 2014 by Tina

Upon my arrival in Honolulu on Wednesday afternoon, I was feeling out of sorts.  With certain things on my mind, it was debatable whether I would be able to even enjoy this vacation.  Seeing my friend when he picked me up at the airport certainly helped.  The nice weather helped, too.  After checking into my … Continue reading »

Eight Days Until Hawaii

Posted on 13 May, 2014 by Tina

A week from tomorrow, I’ll be on my way to Paradise again.  My Australian friend, B. (we met on my last trip there), booked her flight for the exact same days as mine.  Obviously, we’re gonna’ be hanging out.  My cousin and her husband said that we’ll most likely hit up the Mai Tai Bar … Continue reading »
