We’re Ready for Molokai

We do too. A friend of mine from Wisconsin was supposed to be using our condo but with the quarantine they had to cancel. Then of course we had to cancel our May trip. It’s all working out.

Yes we are. Beautiful day on the lanai.

We unpacked and put our groceries in the frig. After that we sat on the lanai and haven’t moved. :cool:

The plumerias right by our lanai are in full bloom and smell wonderful. They did get a little tall so we will have to have maintenance trim them down a bit.

So as I am sitting here enjoying the peace and quiet, the smell of the plumerias and the great view, I can’t help but think of my old buddy @DaveNV. I hope things are going well with your move Dave. I know you didn’t want me worry about you when I was relaxing but you know how that is. :cool:
 
Did a quick video from the living room to the lanai. The link is below. The breeze is awesome but I only used my phone so you may not hear me well. I did bring my camcorder but I have to charge my batteries.

We did have a couple of issues when we arrived. The cable wasn’t working. I was able to call the company and get it working but after that the remote didn’t work so we can’t change channels. It will take a while to get a new one. We are able to stream so it’s it a big problem.

Then our car didn’t start. I was a little worried about that. We bought our two vehicles within a month of each other and they are both 2016 Jeep Compasses. The battery died on mine on Oahu a few months ago. They are both the original batteries so they are about due. Anyway, I was hoping it would have started and we were supposed to be here in May but that didn’t happen. Don’t know if it would have mattered.

We’ll probably have to wait until Monday to get a battery since tomorrow is Sunday and places are closed. Tomorrow I will ask a few people we know here if they can try to give me a jump but my car wouldn’t take a jump so I am thinking this one won’t either.

No big deal, we will just relax around here and we have enough food so we’re fine. We will probably BBQ steaks tomorrow.

Let me know if anyone has a problem with the video working.

Great photos! Thanks for posting them!
Just a quick FYI, @DaveNV has made it safe and sound to Mesquite. He'll be back on TUG when he's go the truck unpacked and is headed back to Washington for (hopefully) the last and final load.

Mahalo, for the update. One thing Dave knows how to do is move. :thumbup:
 
The TV remote might just need batteries. I get that little unpleasant surprise with mine from time to time.

Yes, we did try that. We brought extra one for that and a couple other things. So no luck on that.
 
Of course, my wife had to get me working. She bought covers for our dining chairs.

Ha! I was thinking the same thing when I read that. :D Anyway, echoing so many others, I'm really enjoying all of your Hawaii posts and living Aloha vicariously. The Hawaii forum is one of the first places I go whenever I sign on to TUG. Usually because of you!

Thank You!! I always go to the Hawaii forum post first too.

You just posted a beauty from Ko Olina!

Thanks, but that wasn't me (I wish it was!). :D I'm guessing you're probably referring to the one by @vol_90 over on the Marriott forum. And it is indeed a beauty!

Yes, your right. I knew I should have went back to verify that. :D
 
Last ones for tonight. It was still pretty clear towards Maui and I could see the Maui lights. You may have to make the picture larger to see them though. The second one turned into a better picture of the plumerias. :D

You have that all planned out well. Don’t know if I would do as well with a few 10% beers. :D

That's why we plan it before we go. Then all we need to do is take the bus, drink the beer, walk, buy the food, eat the food, and take the bus back home. They do have lower percentage alcohol beers, but I like to get a bang from my calories. I go for the IPA's and my husband likes the chocolate, coconut or mile Stouts.
 
Those pictures look so much like a heavenly Hawaiian dream that you have created for you and your wife. Good job. Aloha.
 
I slept like a rock last night and missed the sunrise but it is a beautiful, peaceful morning. We are enjoying it on the lanai. Clouds are moving through blocking the sun every once in a while. Here’s a short video of the sounds of Molokai in the morning.

Making some breakfast now. A small shower went through and the now the sun is back out, typical Hawaii.
 
I went to the office this morning to check our mail and one of the office workers gave me a portable battery jump unit to try on my car. And it actually worked. :D So I kept it running for a long time and turned it off and started it again. It did start so we decided to take a ride. The guy said we could keep it until tomorrow so we will carry it in case we have a problem. But I think if we have a problem it won’t jump again.

Anyway, we should be good until tomorrow when I can go buy a new battery. We stopped at a convenience store to get some chips and drinks. The grocery stores are closed for the day.

Do you have AAA? If so, they'll bring you a new battery that you buy from them and install it on the spot. It comes with a nice warranty. I had to do that one day when I had
gone to pick up my grandkids from school and we got stranded at the school when the battery didn't start.
