We are working steadily to try arranging our hoped-for trip to Hawaii. We are aware of Covid and many attempts by many different groups to try to conduct useful business and try at the same time to avoid getting sick or spreading sickness. We would not be at all surprised if one thing or another prevents that trip, scheduled, as of now, to begin late January.
We have been to Hawaii before and we had a very fine trip. We learned much about those islands and the people who lived there and those who live there now. For mainlanders like me, there are places and scenes there that are the apex of beauty. I have found that the particulars of any trip, much like any person's personality, make that trip individual, unique. When we visited Florence, Italy twice, we did so at different ages, with different companions, entering using different approaches, and housed in very different locations. It takes some effort to realize that they were both to the "same" city.
I have practiced skipping any blogging while away and I will if we make this trip, too.
