Alex! Wake up! our 20 minute flight to Oahu is over! That’s about all it took to fly from Kauai to Oahu yesterday. Ok, throw in another 20 minutes of ground time, but that was the shortest plane ride that I have ever been on. When we were sitting at the gate in Kauai and they were boarding the flight ahead of ours, I said to Alex “I wonder how they get all those people on that little airplane?” Know we know. I’m not a tall person and when I sat down in the airplane seat, I could barely open the seat pocket in front of me and put my magazines in there. Wow! It really is a good thing that the flight is only about half an hour. That’s Hawaiian Air folks. We will try Aloha Airlines next time around.

 Waikiki has really gone through a make over, at least at the north end of the strip where our hotel is located. We were worried that it would really be different. Well, this end of the strip is different, but for the better. It is nice to see this area get a face lift. Only issue I have is that there are too many Prada type stores! Damn those rich old ladies! Alex and I did buy a couple shirts at Quiksilver. Well, their no Prada, but damn their boy clothes are expensive. I asked the cashier if they ever get old men like me in the store buying themselves young guys clothing. She assured me that they do. Oh, good I feel better about buying myself a shirt that guys 30 years younger then me wear!

Wow, I think we are being attacked! Is it Pearl Harbor all over again? {long pause} We were in our room and we heard real loud explosions out over the bay. It was fireworks for the Chinese New Year celebration, so we just went down to the beach to watch.

The hotel that we are staying in is also begin refurbished. This is the fourth time that we have stayed at this hotel. They are doing a great job! The room is really nice. It will be a beautiful hotel when they are all done. They did away with the pastel blue colors and went with an upscale earth tone palette. Sweet!

We have made a few trips up and down the Waikiki strip. No hookers have yet to ask me if I want company. We stopped at Hula’s yesterday afternoon and had a beer. Tonight we are going to Angles to gawk at the “younger” crowd. Damn, there have been a fair share of cuties on the island so far. It was good to see such a mix of young and old at Hula’s yesterday.

We had beers at the Yard House today. They must have over 200 types of beer on tap. Needless to say, “cute waiters”! We also got some beach time in today. Alex is now happy! He looks good with his shirt off. All that working out is paying off!

Well, it is almost time to head to Angles. Alex is anxious to see if he can hook one ten years younger than himself. He says that I get to sleep with someone more than ten years younger so why not him? Hmmm, good question. Maybe I can find a hottie for myself that is ten years younger than Alex as well!
