Happy Aloha Friday

Happy Aloha Friday from Waikoloa. Staying at Kohala Suites. As slip mentioned above, lots of wind and rain yesterday. Today sunshine and about 70 degrees predicted.
 
Happy Aloha Friday! We braved the 40somethjng degree weather in Orlando this morning to use the hot tub before checking out. Headed back to NC today, where it was in the teens last night. I hope our pipes made it okay! :)
 
Happy Aloha Friday fron The First Coast! In the ‘What a difference a week makes’ department, last weekend it was 80 degrees and I enjoyed a very warm and sunny day at the beach. This morning, it was 30. I’m not going to the beach today.

I was looking at our house through the live cameras and our back yard was snowing with freezing rain while the front yard looked like a nice day.

Happy Aloha Friday!!! We had rain and cold earlier in the week with lows at 64 degrees. Hopefully things will warm up a bit.

This week's picture takes us over to Oahu in Waikiki at our old apartment in Aloha Lani. We sure had some beautiful sunsets there. Each one seemed to deserve a picture to be taken.

Enjoy and have an Awesome Aloha Friday and a Great Weekend!!!🤙🏻🌴🌺😎
 
Happy Aloha Friday from San Jose del Cabo. We got here Wednesday. The day time Highs have been in the 80's vice freezing back home in Salem Oregon. We are staying a week at Royal Solaris our AI Timeshare. Then we move next door to Cabo Azul for a week. We will be in a 2 Bedroom Delux Ocean View. When we leave Royal Solaris we will get a Rental Car for 2 weeks. After Cabo Azul we move to our Worldmark Coral Baja for a week. We will be in a 2 bedroom Unit. We alternate Winter Trips between Hawaii and San Jose del Cabo with an occasional Winter Trip to Australia. Last Winter we were in Australia for 3 weeks - Phillips Island, Melbourne, and Tasmania. Next Winter is Mau'i.
 
Happy Aloha Friday from The First Coast! Beautiful morning here with temps in the mid-50s now going up to mid 70s today. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
 
Happy Aloha Friday from Puerto Vallarta.

Another beautiful day in PV. We moved to a different resort last week and ended up in the ocean front penthouse. The deck is a huge wrap around with a hot tub. The whales put on a show every morning. Sunsets and the hour after are breath taking.

Happy Aloha Friday from Waikoloa on the Big Island of Hawaii. We have had some cool mornings this week, low 60s, but mid 70s days. No rain in the 10 day forecast. We are escaping the winter storm in Upstate South Carolina moving through this weekend.
 
Happy Aloha Friday from north of Houston, where we’re fixin’ to hunker down for whatever the weekend brings. Forecast is for freezing rain or sleet, meaning icy roadways, and too many drivers here don’t know how to drive on them. Also power outages are possible. So we have supplies as well as a generator ready to go, and I don’t think we’ll leave home between Friday afternoon and Monday afternoon at the earliest. Even the birds have been loading up at our feeder!

Please be safe and keep us up to date. Personally, I. Disliked freezing rain and ice can do more damage to a community.

Aloha Friday from San Diego!

We're resting 2 nights here before heading to Kauai. Here's the USS Recruit, a landlocked training vessel used after WW II.

Perfect timing. I used to love when that happened. Lol🤙🏻

Thanks - we’re fine. The problem really won’t come in here until later this afternoon or overnight. We have no plans to leave our house until any ice is gone, probably Monday sometime.
 
Happy Aloha Saturday! Here in Northern CA is is 57º and sunny. We haven't had any freezing temps, so the grass and plants are loving this cool damp weather. The "mummies" are my pepper plants, which we are over-wintering for the 3rd year.

Took the picture from 8-203, which is an oceanfront unit with the shortest walk to the pool bar and grill.😁

Happy Aloha Friday!!! We've been waiting for February to start because Michelle is coming to visit for two weeks. ❤️

Since Michelle is coming, we reserved a two bedroom condo on the West at Ke Nani Kai. So this week's picture is a picture overlooking the Ocean over on the west side. Looking forward to a great visit.

Enjoy and have an Awesome Aloha Friday and a Great Weekend!!🤙🏻🌴😎🌺
 
Happy Aloha Friday from San Jose del Cabo. It is suppose to be Cloudy with a High of 82°F. We spent our first week at Royal Solaris our AI Timeshare. It is just next door. We are currently at Cabo Azul. We are on the highest floor in a 2 Bedroom Delux Ocean View. We have a beautiful View of the Pools and Ocean. We will be able to view Sunrise from our Patio.
