Unexpected Visit to Honolulu

About the middle of March 2007, I was busily engaged working on the projects that I had going at the time when suddenly on a Thursday afternoon I received a phone call from Honolulu inquiring whether I could drop everything and attend a Schedule Workshop for the Honolulu Transit Project beginning the next week. Lauri and I talked it over and she said, "Only if I can come too!"

So we made arrangements, left on Sunday, and the next week found us in Honolulu. I spent the first several days attending meetings at the PB office and working on developing a tentative project schedule for the transit project, while Lauri enjoyed being in Paradise and relaxing.

We did a little site-seeing on evenings and on Friday we tried to go to Hanauma Bay to snorkel, but we were too late in the day. On Saturday morning we got up and drove over to Laie, attended an endowment session in the Hawaii Temple and then spent the day in the Polynesian Cultural Center. We flew home the next evening, arriving Monday morning.

That was the beginning of an adventure, that is still on-going, and will likely continue until at least January 2010, since from August 2007 until now (July 2007), I have spent about half my time in Honolulu.
