CHAPTER #31....around the world cont.

BEAUTIFUL SCENES LIKE THESE OF HAWAII NEVER END.....I HAVE BEEN TO HAWAII MANY TIMES AND EVERY TURN IS A PICTURE......So Ahhhhhh,....... Everyone needs to visit Hawaii some time in their life.... The many trips to Hawaii as the children were growing up were good memories for me......The children's father was an airline pilot for Western Airlines and we could fly on passes whenever we wanted.....so going to Hawaii or Mexico was like driving to Las Vegas for most people.....and cheaper!
No, we didn't get to stay in the famous "PINK HAWAII ROYAL" every time, but we did stay there once with some relatives.......but it was fun just being there buying mumus and good cheap junk and especially escaping our cold Utah weather each winter.......
Occasionally we rented a car and drove around the island....Sugar cane fields, pineapple fields......We went to the Polynesian Cultural Center, the Aquarium.  Loved the programs the hotel put on and Hawaiian music is my favorite music.  I remember several luaus, but never learned to like poi.  I did fall in love with PINA Colatas and sun tanning. No one can disagree the sunsets, atmosphere for relaxation and the interesting people call you back many times.
When the twins graduated from high school  their senior trip was to Hawaii......Their cousin Mike graduated from BYU Hawaii and got married then,,,,,,so my whole family enjoyed a great vacation.
After my divorce, Ann and I visited all the islands checking out the WESTON HOTELS  for the travel agency we worked for......it was a whole different kind of visit for me.
