I was told specifically that I couldn't "have any fun" and her grad classes and vacation day limitations make it so she can't accompany me at this time of year. All of the winter joint tech meetings in HI have been in the middle of January since they need to coordinate dates with APAN (Asia Pacific Advanced Network) and the PTC (Pacific Telecommunication Council).RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-87256299119824713132013-01-13T15:00:06.454-09:002013-01-13T15:00:06.454-09:00Hawaii in winter - what a heavenly dream!

I was thinking of renting a scooter to get wander around a bit but even for a 49cc scooter, the price is horrendous.<br /><br />I've been to Hawaii several times but it's always been work related. If you ask some, you'll need to have work in quotes...

In this case, it isn't new but every time I've been here it feels "new" since I never get to see much of the area.
