Spouse and I arrived&#8230;<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n&#8230;in Honolulu, Hawaii, after two six-hour flights.  <\/p>\n<p>We cleaned, sanitized, and washed our hands until no germs could survive.  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>First class upgrade (thanks to being a two-million miler) made the flights comfortable.  The food was much too fancy though.  Spouse thinks that is due to influence of the Food Network on &#8220;chefs&#8221; preparing all this froo-froo stuff that just doesn&#8217;t work for us.  (And most of the first class cabin &#8212; I saw many plates returned with lots of Sasquatch Succotash uneaten.)<\/p>\n<p>I really shouldn&#8217;t complain.  We were comfortable and got here on time and safely.<\/p>\n<p>BTW &#8212; the little frog in my seat in the photo is our coqui who is our travel guide to tropical islands.  He is trilingual &#8212; Spanish (his first language, because I got him in Puerto Rico 25 years ago), English, and Hawaiian.<\/p>\n<p>Jet lag is a bitch&#8230; woke at 2am, which is 7am my time, and tossed &#038; turned until 5am, when I finally &#8220;had it&#8221; and went out for a walk.  Caught this photo of the full worm moon over Waikiki.  (I have no idea where a bus brought me to get this.)<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Postmoon.jpg?resize=584%2C334\" alt=\"\" width=\"584\" height=\"334\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15716\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Postmoon.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Postmoon.jpg?resize=300%2C171&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Postmoon.jpg?resize=150%2C86&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Postmoon.jpg?resize=768%2C439&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Postmoon.jpg?resize=500%2C286&amp;ssl=1 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/>Life is short:  travel well!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our second post-retirement adventure has begun.
