An Occassional Glimpse Into My Life

After a 14 hour trip, The Man movie, numerous segments of Everybody Loves Raymond and Out of Practice, we made it to Kona around 10 PM Hawaii time, 2 AM Texas time. By the time we got our bags, took a 30 min. bus ride to the Hilton, got checked in and to our room it was midnight, 4 AM Texas time. Kathy and I both were still in a "travel" mode and could not settle down enough to go to sleep. We unpacked some, watched some TV, had a few more glasses of wine and finally around 1:30 AM, 5:30 AM Texas time we laid down and went to sleep only to awaken around 6. Figured that would happen. Probably be awake after just a few hours of sleep each night. Your body just cannot adjust.

Oh well, it is pretty here. The part of the island we are on, the west side, is very volcanic. I will post all the pictures when I get back but volcanic rock is everywhere. The pics above are the ocean, dah, from our hotel. The waves are huge compared to what I have seen before. The other pic is our tower. There are 3 towers to this complex. Our room overlooks the golf course. We spent alot of time today just walking around and getting to know the layout. We went to a shopping mall down the road and had lunch. After getting my booth set up we went and got a bite to eat to carry us over till tonight. We have a pool side reception with heavy appetizers. Probably real healthy stuff.

Everyone have a great day. Tomorrow is the work day, all day and then a "show" reception tomorrow night. We have to be in our booths but everybody is drinking and eating. Alot of business gets done but we have to remain in our booths till 8:30.

till then
