Happy Aloha Friday

Happy Aloha Friday!

Anybody remember the Pohaku T's store in Kōloa Town, Kauai? It was 1/2 a block south of the gas station. He did the designs and printing. She ran the store. We stopped there every year we were in Kauai, and brought them plenty of business from us and whoever we brought along. The designs were creative and most the shirts were heavy duty cotton. They retired several years ago which was great for them, but I miss them. My t-shirts from them are showing their age now, but I still like wearing one of them on Aloha Friday. My favorite is the one that says Pau Hana on the back. Literally, it means "done work" which applies to both me and the former owners.

That is one I missed. It looks awesome.

Pau Hana, I loved that Logan “done work.”
Their clothing line looks very colorful and very Hawaiian.

I’m done working; wait a minute, I just received a text message from the Commander in Chief. I need to go grocery shopping today.

Happy Aloha Friday !!! I woke up early to make reservations and so did others it seems. My first try looked like it failed and my second try went through and I thought I had it. Nope. I reserved a unit for this next Dec 28 which is Saturday instead of next year. I have to call in a 8 to see what can be done. In my defense I was half asleep while doing this. aghhhh !!!

I called in and they gave the points back but kept the $25 booking fee. I'm grateful for this but still a bit bummed out. I guess I'm gratefully bummed out. There are other options that may work out but the Saturday check in is gone. The silver lining may be the costs of flights on a Monday or Tuesday will be better.

Dec 28 which is Saturday

Availability for tomorrow and a $25 booking fee? What "system", what place is this? We spent 12 days on Oahu this month, and I realize I didn't take a single photo. Too busy enjoying. The weather was maybe the best I've ever had in a 2 wk stretch in HI, maybe winter or summer.

It is a beach front resort that I'm trying to acquire for New Years 2025.

A few years ago I made a similar mistake, the difference being I didn't catch it until after Christmas of the next year. I booked a two bed in Waikiki for New Years Eve for family on Oahu but didn't check the date carefully. I booked Dec 31 but the wrong year so the reservation disappeared out of my account. The bad thing was we didn't get to meet up on NYE and the good thing was we didn't have to meet up on NYE.

Happy Aloha Friday! We are back at our home in Reno for a couple of weeks, where it is very windy, but not very cold - the high today is 52º. We have no snow in the Carson Valley, but there's quite a bit in the Sierras. We are up on a hill so we really get the wind - with gusts up to 40 mph at the moment! I hope we get some snow while we are here - it's a treat for us flat landers from Hades, CA.

Hello from Salem Oregon. Low 50's and wet. Snow in the Cascades. We have already exceeded the average rain fall for the month of December with rain predicted through New's Year Eve.
