Heading home

Tom and I are at McCarran Airport in Las Vegas awaiting the plane that will fly us home. A funny thing happened on the way to the gate. Just after we finished reassembling our material possessions and started walking to Gate C25, there was a call to halt and everyone ...baggage handlers, passengers and all...had to stop. It was surreal...like a scene from Sleeping Beauty at the part where they all fell asleep as is. We never found out what the problem was, but apparently, whatever it was it was solved, and we all moved on with our lives about five minutes later.

Ok they are boarding us now, but we are in Southwest part B so we can remain seated for awhile. With the new line up system, Tom and I had to sit separately on the way out because we were late in the numerical order. I hope we have better luck on the return trip. Other than that, Southwest was great and I recommend that airline to all!

Highlights later...gotta pack up.

A bit of irony

We are still having fun in Las Vegas...more about that later, but meanwhile, check out this bit of ironic photographic comparison.........

Make a Smilebox greeting

Viva Las Vegas!

We were so sad to leave Hawaii. It was a great vacation, we made a lot of new friends, had a wonderful time, and got to hang with old friends....Teri and Dan and Oregon Marc....always a pleasure.


After a brief stint at home ...that included some happy times at Prospectors ...including a propitious encounter with old time dance friends, Larry and Rose (who told us some good places to go in Las Vegas!), we boarded an early morning flight and here we are...

It is warm and sunny and we are looking forward to more good times.
And good luck and good bowling to Tom and his teammates in the tourney!

Aloha from Kauai

We are on week two in Kauai and still having a wonderful time!
Marc arrived Wednesday and we have been enjoying showing him around! Yesterday we did Wailua Falls and Waimea Canyon and we found a great place to watch surfers called Pakala Beach. We parked on the side of the road and followed the trail through the woods to the beach. I felt like Joan Wilder. We had to walk through some water to get to the other side, but it was worth it.










Teri would love this beach! On the right it was calm for paddling out, but the waves on the left were perfect to grab and get a long ride in.
