Each year my friend Christian goes to Hawaii for work at least once and I’ve been very happy to accompany him (and sometimes his partner Brendan). This year I actually went on both trips.

We arrived today to our Waikiki hotel. I’ve been reading on the terrace overlooking the beach in shorts and a tee. Brendan has carried a mini bar with him from Seattle in a hard-sided suitcase and has just made fresh Maitai’s.

It’s good to be home.
