Here and There Blog

Wandering around always leads to water. The outrigger is ready to go for the morning tourists. Hard to see in this photo but a surf competition was going on and the waves were crowded.  Along the canal the business district and condos are a quieter place from the noise on the main street.  And view of the mountains from the room.

Hawaii is the best. I've been to many places and this is one where I'm never disappointed in the trip. From sunrise over Diamond Head, to wandering around the beach paths, and hanging out at the beach it's all good. I'm home now and will cheer myself up this week by posting a few photos of Waikiki.    

A soft rainfall from the sky means it's time to head inside. This is from Maui Brewing. After I ordered it, I found out I could have gotten a Hawaiian sampler set of local brew. 

Sunrise sees Waikiki beach nearly empty of tourists. The pink sky gives way quickly to blue and a cruise ship moves towards port. The heat won't hit for another hour and coffee tastes great.

It's Friday evening and I'm at the airport headed to Honolulu! Weekend trip with the help from travel points and off I go! Looking forward to waking up in Waikiki in the morning!

I'm walking around the hotel and adjacent building parking lots for post work exercise. There were not one, but five cats clustered around a couple of cars in the lot. Evidence of people feeding them is what defines these as happy, well fed, and big cats. I guess it was finally cool enough that even the cats were willing to venture out of the shade.

Inside Toronto airport. I left cold and rain for hot and humid. If only a weather balance was possible We'd all be happier!
