My last full day in California, on this trip. I still had my rental car, so I decided on an easy seeming day trip to Mt Diablo, which was close by Concord. After having spent twelve days in Hawaii, and then having visited the Muir Woods the day before, I was not expecting to beContinue reading “California Day Seven, Mt. Diablo”

California, Muir Woods
Day six in California. I chose to rent a car because, while the BART is a great form of public transportation, it is limited in destinations. I wanted to have options. And actually once I started driving around the Bay Area, I was much more comfortable. On this day I opted to go visit theContinue reading “California, Muir Woods”
California Day Five, a fine school
Monday rolled around and it was time to visit JFK University in the small suburb town of Pleasant Hill. If you have not read my earlier post about my California leg of this trip, go back and do so. With that as context, I continue. I was not expecting anything spectacular considering my top choiceContinue reading “California Day Five, a fine school”
California Day Four
As I mentioned, day two and three were restful days. My big events on those days included laundry and going for a few mile stroll through Concord Ca. So yeah, I will resume this narrative with day four. Oh, by the way, I should mention this for any readers from conservative areas: personally I haveContinue reading “California Day Four”

In retrospect, I should have scheduled a day to acclimated. Heading into town, I started to feel a touch anxious, which isContinue reading “California sputters to start”
Oahu, second leg

Considering my intention of this overall retreat / vacation is to rest down and relax, I really needed some down time. I told my Dad this fact, and heContinue reading “Oahu, second leg”

Big Island day four
After a busy couple of days with a new friend, my final day on the Big Island was more chill. The friend I had been staying with wanted to do the Atlantis submarine tour, so we geared up for that. We arrived early, so we enjoyed a drink in the yacht club. We got toContinue reading “Big Island day four”
Big Island, day three
Day three found me pondering whether or not to do the hike we had planned. Let’s just put it like this, at times, I can be terrified of heights. And the description of the hike was an acrophobe’s worst nightmare. It went something like this: the hike is pleasant for the first several miles, goingContinue reading “Big Island, day three”
