Thunderstorms woke us up last night but we awoke this morning to a clearing sky. We had coffee and macadamia nut muffins in our room and we were down at the pool by 9:30. Wasn't long and the high clouds cleared and the sun was as hot as ever. We sat in the water watching huge thunder clouds march into the distance on the horizon. It seemed they reached forever into the sky and yet appeared to all sit upon a glass sheet as the bottoms of the clouds were all the same distance from the ocean. It was very cool!
There was a couple sitting next to us from Russia. The man was a bit older than me and spoke with a Russian accent. He and his wife were on holiday. They had emigrated to America twenty years ago and this was their first vacation. By the late afternoon, after several Mai Tais, beers, Passion Fruit Daiquires, and what all, we were pretty lose and having conversations with lots of people in the pool. I almost drowned with laughter, however, when Dick asked the Russian man, "So, what's the best vodka?" I don't recall the answer.
Had a nice dinner tonight at Ruth's Chris and walked down to the Westin and back. Barb and Dick leave tomorrow night on a ten o'clock flight and we leave Sunday about 2pm. Hard to believe the week is just about over. Harder to believe we may be coming home to snow!!! Aloha.
It sound like a great trip! Last night a sat on the other side of the world smoking a Cuban cigar, reading your blog,and watching the moon bounce off the ocean. It made me think the whorl is so big yet so small. Travel safe to both off you.
