Next-to-last Day

This morning Ann and I walked to many shops and looked around (and did some shopping) in a non-touristy area. Then we ate a delicious lunch prepared by Dabney (roasted kale leaves, curried sweet potato soup, roasted purple sweet potatoes, and a yummy papaya salad). Ann and I hit the pavement again and went to the touristy area. ABC stores are on every block (not Alcohol Beverage Control but "A Better Convenience" somewhat like the ever-present Wings and Dunes stortes on the East Coast). We came home briefly and then went to Duke's, a casual restaurant in The Waikiki Outrigger hotel, with a view of the ocean, of Diamond Head, of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, and of the sun set. We had arranged to meet a former JRDS student, Megan Davies, there and had such fun catching up with her doings.
We came on home and began the arduous process of packing and wondering if our suitcaes will be overweight...only time will tell. Tomorrow night, to be exact. Our plane leaves at 9:40 pm for Houston, and we expect to be in Greensboro by 2:30 or so.
So...this may be the last post for this adventure, this totally satisfying experience. Thanks for being with us on our Pacific Adventures!
