Rainy Days and Sundays

Yeah... rain!
Hard rain, and it continued off and on throughout the day. It rained so hard it flooded the parking lot, and the front desk had to disturb folks on Sunday morning to warn them their cars might need to be moved before their interiors were soaked. (Luckily, everyone got their cars moved in time.)

So plan "A" was no longer possible. We had planned to drive across Oahu, then drive the coastal road back... taking in half the Island's scenery. Visibility limited to less than a mile by rain precluded that, but pushed us into plan "B"...
SHOPPING!

TD and TC took the gals and Big Bubba shopping while they found a watering hole to watch the Colts game. I stayed on Ford Island and walked the mile to the "Pacific Aviation Museum", located in the area where the hangars were destroyed by Japanese attackers on 7 Dec 41. The museum opened not quite a year ago and has a small contingent of aircraft that played a role on that day and shortly after. They intend to build on their collection and add exhibits as money and other resources are available.

The shoppers returned raving about the "Ala Moana" Shopping Center... a mall so big you need a map to make your way around, and even then you get lost.

Evening brought another rain shower as we loaded cars and went to "Cafe Sistina Honolulu"...
an Italian restaurant recommended by GH and Ken. Salads, entrees, and desserts... all wonderful!

After the drive home, once again in the rain, we pulled up chairs in the sitting area at the entrance to the lodge to visit for an hour or so before Ken had to leave... Monday was back to work time for him. Laughter was the order of the day!

Today, (Monday), we'll revert to plan "A" and see if we can pull it off.
Stay tuned.
Wish you were here.
