Hawaii

What better way to follow-up a trip to the 49th state, than with one to the 50th.  It was not that much more expensive to tack a short stop in Hawaii on to my flight itinerary so rather than fly right back to Michigan, I spent the last weekend on Oahu.  I came mostly to visit my brother and his family, but I also had a little time to myself.   The pace was very different than in Alaska; as was the temperature with high 40 degree above a typical day in Alaska.

I spent most of the weekend with my brothers family.  We played cards & board games at there house; watched my niece play her first diffidence game; attended church; and visited the Honolulu Zoo together.   Friday & Saturday night, my nephew Alex stayed with me at my Waikiki hotel.

I had Sunday night & Monday to myself.   I walked around Waikiki a lot, ate breakfast on the beach, and read a few chapters while reclined on my Lanai.  I even took a brief dip in the ocean.

Now, I'm in the airport waiting for my departure back to Michigan & thinking about where I'll go next after I'm rested up from this trip.
