Good morning!

We went to bed rather early yesterday, what with the time change and the long trip. Of course, we woke up at 3 am!

no plans today. Just walk around Waikiki.

The visit to Arizona memorial was emotional and profound.

Shopping at tori Richard.

Those are the only men's Hawaiian shirts that I like. They fit and feel amazing.

I agree. The cotton material feels like silk. We found, toward the back of the store, several shirts that were 25%, 50%, and even 75% off. Bought a few, with one of them being just $40!

Like I said, my credit card was smoking!
