The day started by not, at least not early. One of us was wide awake at 4 am. Cheryl, on the other hand, had to be awakened at 8:30 when Billie texted to say that they were waiting for us in the lobby. We quickly assembled ourselves and presented at the hotel’s buffet. They serve […]
When last we visited, Cheryl was dealing with a sore throat (that we attributed to allergies). This morning she was no better, and she had happened to pack a 2-pack of Covid tests, so we decided to take the test so we could rule out ‘anything more serious than’ bronchitis. Turns out we couldn’t. I
No photos today. We just powered thru to the end. Actually, one of us powered thru. Cheryl had breakfast and went back to bed. It seems that her histamine finally couldn’t keep up with the pollen count and she woke up miserable. She joined us for lunch, then back to bed (although, when I got

[insert video of walk to food] Walking outside (when it’s not raining) gives us a chance to appreciate the native flora and fauna. Having breakfasted we decided a
The Western Bankers’ Association convention, Grand Hyatt Kauai, April 22-26. It’s been so long since we’ve traveled anywhere other than to Norman or Beaverton. It was just a bit strange. Among other things (like packing lists and remembering paraphernalia and taking enough meds so we can survive a quarantine if we catch the bug the
Sigh. Up at 4:45, and downstairs by 5:20 The airport was, well, and airport. You’ve been there. Even at 6:00 AM (especially at 6:00 AM) we were extremely grateful for PreCheck.
