Aloha

 I feel very betrayed by all of the television and movies.  I did not have a lei put around my neck the second I stepped off the airplane.  Very disappointing.  The flights were unremarkable.  I paid for an upgrade and ended up in first class from Tulsa to Denver and Economy Plus from Denver to Kahului and had an entire row to myself.  I was a little anxious about an 8 hour plane ride but it went fine.  I hope to change my return flight times and hopefully catch another upgrade.

Working 6-6:30 keeps me from doing anything.  They do let us leave about 4:30 on Sundays.  I went to the beach and walked around.  It is dark when I leave my condo and dark when I leave work.  The condo is really nice.  I love having a washer and dryer.  I was able to put my clothes in the wash immediately after coming in from the beach.  For some reason I ended up with a 2 bedroom condo so if anyone wants a free room in HI I have the space.  

Dennis said Truman is doing good.  He makes a big show of telling my family not to stress me out while I am gone and succeeded in pissing me off while I was at lunch today.  Go figure.

I am obsessed with the chickens here!!  I looked it up and according to google the hurricanes caused chicken coops to collapse and there are no predicators here so they continue to thrive.  

Several people have gotten tattoos while they are here and I told them I was going to get a chicken.  We will see if that happens.

I will get a day off.  For now I plan on taking 16 or 17 December because humpback whale season starts the 15th.  I also want to snorkel around the reefs.  Not sure if that second part is going to happen, I didn't realize how cold the water was until I planned on going wading on Sunday and just ended up with my feet in the water.  Someone said the water was 72 degrees but I didn't look it up.  It is in the mid to high 80's though so going in the heat of the day might make it more tolerable.  

OK, gotta get back to work.
