No pictures: A pretty uneventful day! Still, imagine the pretty
\nWaikiki beach, a completely pale white guy deathly afraid of a sunburn
\n(so wearing way too much sunblock) and a cute Japanese girl wandering
\naround looking for places to eat and trying to plan the next two
\nweeks. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sunday morning I slept in, and then got up and did some work. That is
\nthe main reason I went to all the trouble to get the net access – I
\nhave a few things I need to finish up this week and wasn’t able to get
\ndone before the vacation. Things went well with that though. By
\nabout 1pm I was ready to head out. I had hoped that Risa would have
\nspent the morning looking up things and deciding what to do, but when
\nI asked her what she wanted to do, she didn’t know. She was pretty
\nmad at me. <\/p>\n

\nAt any rate, we headed out for lunch. Risa was being difficult, so
\n(because of that?) we ended up at McDonal’s where I got to try a Big
\nN’ Tasty, a burger that I always liked. Interestingly, they came with
\npineapple slices also. Neat. I thought we could get pineapple
\ninstead of french fries, but not so: you get both! It would probably
\nbe a lot healthier if they just let you do the swap right up. It
\nfeels kind of stupid to pay extra to have them not give you the fries
\nthough.\n<\/p>\n

\nAfter lunch Risa was feeling a bit better. We bought some cheap
\nflip-flops at ABC and walked down around on the beach. After a bunch
\nof walking we went back to the hotel, and took a break. I ended up
\ndumping sand all over the place. I should have checked out my
\nrolled-up pants before laying down for a nap.\n<\/p>\n

\nFor dinner I had noticed a Chili’s not too far from our hotel, and
\nRisa wanted some Americana flavor, so we headed that way. A bowl of
\nchili and their “make your own dinner” was enough to stuff the both of
\nus. We wanted to check out a “local bar” so I spied a sports bar down
\na side street. I was interested in catching the end of the
\nLakers-Rockets series, so we tried that place. It was a small little
\nplace, but the people were having a lot of fun. According to the
\nowner (I assume) that day was the place’s 15th Anniversary party, and
\nfor that reason the beers were only $3 each. Very cheap! But also
\nbecause of that the crowd, which had been there drinking since about
\n5pm, was totally nuts. Seemed like a nice group though. I chatted
\nwith a guy, Ike, for a bit. He apparently does something with
\nHarley’s. I’ve got his card around here somewhere…\n<\/p>\n

\nWe made it home by about 11pm or so, and to bed by about midnight. By
\nnow I had almost completely recovered from my cold, so I finally got a
\nbit of a break there. Earlier in the afternoon I had looked into
\noptions, and not wanting a repeat performance of the morning’s
\ninexplicable animosity shot at me, I made an appointment to go
\nhorseback riding up on the north shore. That means we needed to hit
\nthe road at about 7am, and get up at around 6am. But, I made plans so
\nhopefully that means a less hostile day.\n<\/p>\n
