HI Ko Olina Resort

Well, this is our room at the Marriott's Ko'Olina Beach Resort on the beautiful island of Oahu. The third largest island in the Hawaiian chain, O'ahu has 112 miles of coastline, but it is only 30 miles at its widest point and 60 miles long.


We look down on palm trees from the eleventh floor.

Our exchange was for a studio so we have a pull-out-bed couch in the sitting area.  Across is the kitchenette with a microwave and little fridge. And the big king-sized bed.  At the entrance is the bathroom and a large closet.
This was our first meal; gourmet dining-Will warmed up left overs and added some fresh.  We played some Farkle and went to bed.
Our first full day was Monday.  We attended the overview meeting and had a continental breakfast as a perk for attending.  They have a raffle too; last year we won a boat trip.  Nothing this year.

We walked down to the lagoon and enjoyed watching the big waves.

And decided to sit a spell.

The afternoon clouded over and took advantage of that and went shopping.  The Walmart is just ten minutes away.

A snorkel set, a blender and ingredient to make our own tropical drinks, and some food items....
It is 5 O'clock somewhere!

We went to the Fire Ceremony as the sun was setting.  The High Chief Sielu Avea and his Polynesian Warriors perform.



Good night from Hawaii.

Pandemic

 This has been a strange year. We arrived in Florida in March and have stayed home since. That is about 6 months now. The Covid-19 virus has set the world to be a different place with stay at home orders, restaurants and bars closed, shelves in the grocery stores empty of toilet paper and antiseptic good, virtual school and doctor visits, hospitals that don’t let visitors enter and no only emergency care, wearing a mask when you are in public and people staying six feet apart. Who knows what the new world will be like after this.

Clifford Karl Lambert

Cliff married my little sister, Maria and became part of our family. We traveled to Italy together one summer Cliff had the coolest Man Cave! He really enjoyed technology and used it at work, home and helped everyone enjoy theirs too. He bought a boat that he and my sister enjoyed for many years. He walked his daughter down the isle. And welcomed Travis into his family. Not long after Layla was born and he became a very proud Pap Pap. He and my sister retired to Florida. Where Cliff learned to golf. One of my best memories are of our Cookie Days together. Cliff worked at Lowes and enjoyed his job in the paint department. He got sick; he found out he had stage 4-bladder cancer. We went on our traditional breakfast together each time we got together over the years. He finished the first round of chemo treatments. But the cancer went into his bones. He kept smiling and living life to the fullest. He enjoyed ...
