The Tradewinds is parked in Scottsdale for a couple of weeks and Hawaiian (the on time airline) was only two hours late into Honolulu but we are now enjoying Emily and her folks and the 80 degree temperatures.
We are staying in Hawaii Loa with our daughter Jami. Here is a view from the deck of their home they built four years ago. Jeff is getting lots of practice with his new camera!
Christmas is a week away but the season has arrived in the Islands. Last night we went to dinner in downtown Honolulu with Emily and her friend Lili, watched a Christmas play at the Alamoana Mall and then on to the Honolulu Lights Christmas display. Christmas is still more fun seen through the eyes of a couple of 2 1/2 year olds but ALL the kids were ready for bed by the time we got home!
