  • Sunday 2009-05-17

    No pictures: A pretty uneventful day! Still, imagine the pretty Waikiki beach, a completely pale white guy deathly afraid of a sunburn (so wearing way too much sunblock) and a cute Japanese girl wandering around looking for places to eat and trying to plan the next two weeks. Sunday morning I slept in, and then […]

  • (Another) Saturday 2009-05-16

    Two beds for the newlyweds Awesome view from our balcony Big Wave Beer for Risa. Good stuff. When I had to work, I did a lot of it from the balcony, like this. It was great. I had arranged for a rental car, not a great deal, but a good enough one through National. We […]
