Got my suitcase packed. I’m taking a break to cool off. Packed except for shower stuff, which I’m going to do. Done packing. I had to leave my suntan lotion because it just wouldn’t fit.

Stored my luggage in the hotel office and went to have lunch. I’m stalling because I have a lot of time to kill. Had some excellent mango shortbread.

At the ( Read more... )

Today is spa treatment day. I have to be there at 12:45, so I’m eating lunch here (done). Showered and am letting the suntan lotion sink in.

Went across the street and bought the ”Sea La Vie” sign and a book of meditations for busy women. Had some overnight oats at the cafe.

Went to the spa. I really like the Grand Hyatt. ($973 a night. Holy cow ( Read more... )

I got up at 6 AM. I’m waiting around to call the helicopter people. The helicopter flight is on. They warned me that there might be a lot of traffic near the airport, and I said that I know, it was like a parking lot there yesterday.

I think that I’ll take a shower. I got breakfast at my usual place.

I got to the helicopter place way early (no ( Read more... )

Woke up at 4 AM. Ate oatmeal and went back to sleep. Woke up at 7.

The trust wants to move the meeting about buying a house to next week. I told them that I was free only Monday and Friday. We’re on for Friday.

I decided to go out for breakfast to the same place as yesterday. I forgot to mention that yesterday, a bird jumped up and snatched some ( Read more... )

Woke up at 4 AM. The trust got back to me about buying a house and wants to set up a Teams call. I emailed them back more details.

I tried to go back to sleep but couldn’t sleep. I guess that I’ll get up. It’s been raining off and on all morning.

I ran to the grocery store and bought water, snorkeling equipment, and a beach towel. Then I went out ( Read more... )

I've got a spa appointment the day before I leave. Awesome.

Poipu Beach has a lifeguard seven days a week. So I'm going to drive there tomorrow. No, it occurred to me that would be literally rubbing salt in my wound. I’ll spend some time on the beach though, even if I can’t swim. I’m busy rearranging my plans. I think that I’ll go to Waimea ( Read more... )

Annoyingly, I woke up at 6 AM this morning. I’m going to eat breakfast and try to take a nap.

I forgot to mention that you can see the ocean from my room. I can’t get the lanai door open. Otherwise, I would walk over there. I might as well describe the hotel. It's a huge complex of suite rooms and condos. (I've gotten lost a couple of times in ( Read more... )

My handyman woke me up at 6 AM calling me. I texted him back and told him that he woke me up. He said that he didn't know that I was on vacation. Okay. I think that I'll eat a slice of pizza for breakfast and go back to sleep for a little while. I couldn’t sleep, no doubt due to the time change. Got up and had a nice shower. Made a grocery list.

I overslept a little over an hour. I realized that I wasn’t going to make it to the shuttle by 5 AM, so I called the front desk and told her 5:30AM. Got downstairs at 5:25, and the front desk person asked me the room number and told me to run get the shuttle.

No issues with getting the LA flight except that I left my Kindle in my backpack because ( Read more... )
