Time is flying by. We arrived in Honolulu, turned around, and ten days had passed.
We've been busy visiting good friends and favorite places.
It's wonderful to have escaped the bone-chilling cold
that has hit Colorado and much of the Mainland.
Waikiki never gets old.
Here are some photos I've taken since we arrived:

We've been coming here for years, and because there is little turnover in the staff,
we know the Hideout's people. They always welcome us back.
Great people. Great food. Delicious Mai Tais. Great music.
I'm linking to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date, Tom's Aloha Friday, and Nicole's Friday Face Off.
For Rain: Pyjamas ~ One of my favorite photos ever, and I'm not sure who took it ~ likely my youngest sister Bertie. My sister Donnie is reading to her three children and Bertie's two children (over 25 years ago).
For Tom: Aloha Spirit ~ A display of children's art greets arriving passengers at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu.
