When I was in college, a guy came into the campus paper and mentioned that he has been in earlier and talked to someone, but he couldn’t remember who.
He could, however, remember the guy wearing a Hawaiian shirt sitting on the couch, whom he mistakenly thought was Samoan.
Yes. That was me.
So fast-forward a few years in time. At the end of this week, I’m taking vacation time off. On Saturday, I’m flying to Phoenix. From there… going west.

This was, sadly, the only humorous picture about Hawaii I thought appropriate.
More to come on this upcoming CROSS PLANETARY EXCURSION (NNNNNNNN echoes).






Coolness. Which islands? If you want relaxing, I highly recommend Kauai.
Yes exactly which island? You have a cousin there you know.
Awesome!
Be sure to wear the Hawaiian shirt.
I’ve never been to Hawaii. Take me with you!
Wait. You get to go to Hawaii? I am totally jealous. I’m going to Philadelphia, which is not Hawaii. However, it is for work, so it’s free for me…
So lucky! I wanted to go to Hawaii for the honeymoon but the Captain said no. Can you believe that?!
Hawaii? Really? … and you didn’t think to mention this to me? Hrmph.
