Dec 7, 2009 Pearl Harbor Rememberance Day

I arrived in Honolulu, Hawaii on Pearl Harbor Rememberance Day and stayed for the week at Hickam Air Force Base.  From what I hear, it was a good week NOT to be in Michigan!  The family I stayed with is related to my niece and they were really fun & wonderful to me.  Every day I trekked off to Waikiki Beach for a conference.  It seemed funny to see Christmas decorations up mingled with palm trees.  I've lived in Michigan all my life and Christmas = snow and cold weather!
