Marti and I were in transit most of the day today; flying east over three time zones will do that to you. We left Kaneohe around 11 and arrived back at Marti’s house around 10 pm. Our luggage arrived safely as well. And fortunately, the flight was uneventful: I read, snacked, and worked on some puzzles in the back of the in-flight magazine.

Japanese Teahouse and Hawaiian Music
In honor of her elder daughter’s high school graduation, my sister Debbie hosted a luncheon for her at the Natsunoya Teahouse on Makanani Drive in Honolulu, a popular venue for both tourists and locals to celebrate special occasions.
The view is outstanding, and imagine this at night, with the city lights blazing:
Friends and relatives came to congratulate Amelia and wish her well, and we all enjoyed the excellent buffet lunch, with two kinds of cake from Kaneohe Bakery for dessert.
Later in the afternoon when we were back at the house, my younger sister decided that it would be fun to check out the Hawaiian music scene at Honey’s, the bar at the Ko’olau Golf Course in Kaneohe made famous by singer Don Ho, so I changed into one of her new muumuus and we headed out. We listened to a local trio play Hawaiian songs, and what luck! It so happened that the legendary ukulele player Eddie Kamae came onstage to perform a set.
