The Adventure Continues . . .
I’m headed back to Hawai’i. Leaving on the 22nd of March, returning to Arizona on April 15. I like the times of these flights. I will arrive in Kona in the late afternoon instead of late at night like my last trip. Also, the return trip is at 10:30 PM and is a red eyeContinue reading “The Adventure Continues . . .”
Hookena Beach
I had been in Hawaii for a week. I needed to return the rental car. I called the rental company and asked about changing the drop off location to Hilo. They told me that it could not be changed. The car MUST be returned to Kona on the scheduled day at the scheduled time. So,Continue reading “Hookena Beach”
Rental Cars
Looking back towards Kona from Highway 11 on the drive to South Point It was a short walk from the highway where the bus dropped me off down to the rental car center located between the airport and the highway – or as they say in Hawaii, mauka the airport; makai the highway. Then toContinue reading “Rental Cars”

November 2020
I sit and I wait. It was a rush to get to the airport so that I could sit and wait. It was a hassle at the check-in kiosk. I thought that the purpose of the kiosks was so that you didn’t have to wait in line. There was a line waiting for the kiosks.Continue reading “November 2020”
September 28, 2018

March 2020
As I look out the window, the only thing I can see is the ocean. And the wing of the plane, of course. There is a thin layer of clouds toward the horizon and below us, but looking directly down (as well as I can through the window of a plane) the water below usContinue reading “March 2020”
