We've shipped the Sequoia to Long Beach, sold the Prius, ordered the last of the camping gear and have done the first purge of clothing, books and other junk. Two weeks from today we'll get on the plane in Kona and go...west! Oops. Our circumnavigation really begins on the 26th, when we fly east from Honolulu to L.A.
Our first visit will be to our friends Scott and Laurie Powell in Pacific Palisades. They'll pick us up at LAX and take us to get the Sequoia the next day. We've been friends with them for almost 30 years, since the summer when Jenny and I first met. We've had some awfully good times in Maine, Arizona, Utah and L.A. Laurie's a dental hygienist and Scott's a film editor. Jenny, Kate and I have been on a "24" marathon on Netflix in the last couple of weeks, trying to bone up before we see the editor himself. Since "24" ended, Scott's been editing "Hawaii Five-0".
I finish work this Friday and Jenny finishes on Saturday. We'll celebrate at a fundraiser for Hawaiian Islands Land Trust Saturday night at Merriman's Restaurant here in Waimea. Sunday, we'll really start packing up to go.
