In the Air Again

I begin this as we await our departure from Hawaii. We’ll fly overnight and arrive in Chicago early in the morning; then a brief layover followed by a short flight to Indy.

Today we watched the sun come up from the side of Diamond Head, and then we made our way to the Arizona War Memorial. Both were moving experiences.

Something funny happened while we were waiting on the sun. A Japanese couple came jogging along. We thought they were there to watch the sun rise. I guess we were wrong. They jogged in circles for a little while, kinda high-stepping. Then they stopped. The man started barking out orders to the woman. We looked. He was instructing her in some kind of martial art type calisthenics. He barked the orders, did the moves, and she followed about a nanosecond behind. Maybe you had to be there, but it was very funny. I am thinking of trying this with Kedra...

I was moved and impressed with the war memorial. I’m not sure why I have been to it before. It was simply wonderful. Those of you who have been there know what I am talking about. The feeling is a little bit beyond description.

I guess I should feel a little sad that this portion of the trip is over, and I do in some regards. But I am also very thankful that we were blessed with this experience. I love my family beyond words, and it was such a pleasure to spend time with them.

Well I didn’t do much reflecting in Hawaii did I? (See previous posts) Maybe when I get back home?

[Home now. Pretty uneventful trip.]
