Mahalo Hawaii!

-
For a combined fun and work trip, this one was far more relaxing than most! I don't know how I adjusted so quickly to Hawaii time, sleeping in until 7 am is 10 am at home and it's going to be painful doing that three hour jump forward. Rain is moving in as I write this, the trade winds are kicking up a cool breeze and my a/c is off.

Went out on a sunset catamaran sail and the water was rough! At times we had to hold on tight when on the deck because the wind was so strong. No one wants to go overboard in that water! This also happened to be my birthday. Happy Birthday me at 54!
 We sailed close to Diamond Head and enjoyed the view and calmer waters.
 And then sunset happened and everyone was happy.

Fast forward to 6 weeks ago and the Covid restrictions, flight schedules, and hotel prices made me give up. Changing the flight to Vienna would result in penalties and possibly fare increases so I made the best of it and thought, where can I go in Austria where I've never been? Innsbruck, hmm. Can I get a free flight from Vienna? Yes! Can I get a free hotel room? Yes. Check! The city is picture perfect though. Nestled in a valley between two mountain ranges, it's green, colorful, and everything you could want a place to be when the purpose is total work decompression. No major sightseeing, no expectations. You, a city and a view. It's walkable and small. You've got to look up, left and right,
