Sonoma town

First birthday party

The really only strange thing for me today in Petaluma was a customer in a Panda Express ordering in Spanish and the worker answering in Spanish

What I’ve told people here in California when they are confused about why I want to move from Hawaii, where I grew up. I can spend my final years (maybe 20) doing the same things I’ve done for the last 35 yrs on Hawaii Island or come to California and have a whole bunch of new adventures.

A little vague on the closing time.

The Russian River. So peaceful

Didn’t have a quarter on me

To the seashore

We’ve checked out 10 mobile home parks in Sonoma and Petaluma, met with 2 manufacturers, looked at 4 model homes. Wow have they come far and build quality is excellent. Things are becoming clearer. Looking in Napa Valley on Sunday.

Love when the navigation says “you have arrived”. A sense of achievement

At the Arnold Ballparks in Sonoma. Step Grandson’s game.

When in California

Current status: In a tube of metal with aerodynamic things on the sides full of other people. Getting ready to be hurled through the sky over the Pacific Ocean to an asphalt strip on the other side. Out of my control. Just along for the ride.

Airport restaurant. It’s was $20, but damn, that’s a lot of food.

I’ll be back on O’ahu in early June for my Daughter’s 40th. Will spend 2 days on the ground. Minimal plans right now.

For the 5 hour hop to Oakland, I have the motherlode of old Hawaiian music downloaded to my phone and the book Hawaiki Rising in my bag. All good

Hello O`ahu. It’s been a minute.

Onward. It seems to take forever just to get from walking out our from door at home to this point.

Thank you phone for wanting to do an update on the way to the airport.

Rainy afternoon
