Accomplished what I set out this visit for here in Honolulu, Hawaii. These short 3 days saw Spouse and me…\n

We also were treated to lunch by the Top Dog of a major center here who I worked with in my most recent professional life. We enjoyed it immensely. <\/p>\n
We walked more and more… Honolulu is a great town to walk in. Good sidewalks and mostly flat (in the urban area.) But man, is this city loud! Traffic, sirens, and helmetless flip-flop wearing idiots on crotch rockets go-go-go 24\/7.<\/p>\n

I gave a speech, which is what first “brung” me here. The organization that asked me to speak paid a little toward airfare, housing, and meals. Another “retirement gift” from my former agency.<\/p>\n

We also had dinner at a famous flagship restaurant with a good friend with whom I also worked during my work life.<\/p>\n
Sat on our balcony and watched the world go by… busy busy place.<\/p>\n
Friday, we set sail (via air) for another island for what Spouse labels our honeymoon. Check back for our next adventure!<\/p>\n
Life is short: enjoy the Aloha spirit!![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/HonoluluNight.jpg?resize=400%2C300\")
