I'm having trouble opening up Word this morning so I will write this directly into the blogspot - my readers will have to suffer through the typos and grammar faux pas!
What can I say about Hawaii except that it is similar to any tropical escape; one's cares seem to disappear for the time being. We find ourselves questioning why we Westerners have so much anxiety and stress about feeling secure when in fact we have so much more than the "locals" (wherever we stay). Perhaps because we come from northern climates where we must have food and fuel for the cold winter months we develop a cultural history of "responsibility" or forethought of what may come. Today we still worry about what may come even though there may be a social safety net to catch us (well, not really, but "in theory"). In any event, for the few days we are on vacation, particularly when it is a tropical escape, we lose our concern and relax. It is wonderful.
Honolulu is, of course, a very commercial city; no different from NYC, San Francisco or any other American city. Macy's, Tiffany's, Ralph Lauren - in fact all of Fifth Avenue is alive and well on this tropical isle.
The breezes are pleasant and fool us into thinking the sun is not so sharp; but still no sunburn. Yet. Just feeling strong and energetic. Love that Vitamin D.
