Hawaii Travel Log - Day One. So, what do you do?

Well, we flew from Eugene to Seattle, then Seattle to Honolulu on the 21st.
On the flight from SEA to HNL, a very nice and talkative man named Pat sat next to us.
Through the course of conversation, we got around to "So, what do you do?" The inevitable ice breaker topic on planes...we explained what we did, which until this conversation, seemed fairly interesting, then I asked Pat, "So, what do you do?" to which he replied, "I am a medical marijuana grower."
Uhhh, ok. That's a new one on us...it ended up being quite an interesting flight and Pat was, to say the least, chatty. By the 5th hour of the flight, I was ready to not talk or listen anymore to anyone, but I do have to say that Pat was a very nice guy with lots of colorful stories to tell. We saw a few pictures of his greenhouses, saw his license and discussed the difference between State and Federal law. I'm still not sure how it works, but we laughed a lot.
Once on the ground, we made our way via bus to Waikiki and checked in to our hotel. It is warm and sunny here, which makes it seem like a cool place to vacation. Worked nicely for us, being here on vacation and all.
As near as we could tell, wandering around the hotel and surrounding blocks, Korea has evacuated all of its teenagers. I assume there is some national teenager holiday or competition here, at our hotel, that has brought all 985,000 here. To say I am "out of touch" with Korean teenage life is an understatement, but they sure seem to have a nice time together. The boys all wear white shoes and jeans and have ratty/wild dyed-light-brown hair. The girls all wear white shoes and jeans and have ratty/wild dyed-light-brown hair, that is only slightly longer than the boys. And, they all smoke, a lot.
But I do like being around them because I feel like a giant. They are, no kidding, about 58% of my size and I'm not a very big guy. Actually I am a big guy, at least this week, in this hotel lobby.
To end the day, we had a nice sushi dinner, walked the famous Waikiki beach and turned in. Day two promises to be interesting, as we are headed for Pearl Harbor.

JReed...Says Be Well.
