our flight to Sacramento. Today's weather was the best yet, wouldn't
ya know it. Ah well, we still had a great time despite the often
cloudy/rainy weather and the fact the both of us caught a cold while
we were here.
The photo is of me holding hands with my Chinese zodiac symbol, the
rat. This is one of many, many statues on the Disney-like grounds of
the Hilton Waikoloa, the HUGE resort that Shanti and Goa stayed during
the last several days of their trip. It appeared to me to be a girly
rat, but I suppose that reflects my feminine side. At any rate, S & G
gave us a tour and showed us the spot where they first met and then
the place they were wed almost five years ago. There are worse places
to fall in love and get married.
As sunset approached, they bid us farewell to celebrate Goa's birthday
dinner next to a massive stone buddha with a hilltop view of what
turned out to be a most stunning sunset. Cindy and I boarded one of
the boats that ferry passengers along the system of canals that
connect the many towers, restaurants, and attractions of this mega-
resort. There's also a high speed tram that looks a lot like a Disney
monorail, just in case you are late for your dinner reservation or
your appointment to swim with the dolphins.
So, our little vacation is pretty much over. We arrive in Sacramento
around midnight, spend the night there, and then drive home to good
old Ashland. A nice place to come home to, but the temperature
difference is something we're not looking forward to. At least there
won't be any roosters keeping is up at night.
