Playing Tourist
So Mike wins a two night stay at a ResortQuest condo. We'll play tourist for the weekend. I saw the condo on the news when it opened after remodeling. Super nice, on the beach - this is going to be great.Unfortunately, it was a sister property, up the street in a questionable neighborhood. This one has not been remodeled. Remember the hideous countertop in the family room in our Naniloa Loop house? Same!
Can't complain about the view from the lanai. We took this in the morning as the sun rose. Some day we'll read the owner's manual and figure out how to adjust our camera for background light.






We went the Manoa Ward that meets in the Tabernacle. It was fun to see friends and reminisce. I was in that ward 36 years ago. The DuPonts invited us to their home after church. Amanda made fresh quava nectar from fruit Bert had just picked and then talked about their eyewitness account of the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the near-miss of the bombing of the Hawaii Temple that day.
A fun weekend to be together, playing tourist. But if you must know: Truthfully, as much as we tried, Mike and I couldn't muster a great fondness for Waikiki. It's the mass of humanity and noise of the city. Give us the North Shore any day.

Sounds like so much fun, mom! We are having a little cold spell here in Utah and I wish we were there with you! The view looks nice!
The view was great, and I almost want to try the pink palace just for the pink-ness of it, but cold eggs? No thanks, I'll pass.
Love the easter-egg-colored balls! Great gift! But, I have to agree with Wikiki.
North Shore over Waikiki any day. Hands down.
