The bathroom is clean. Our hair is cut. Our one suitcase is packed with Kona coffee and macadamia nut candy. So we had a little time...sort of.
We got up early to fight the crowds and traffic again and headed out to Honolulu for the Senior Fair. My sister-in-law had to work, but my brother, Dennis was able to accompany us into Honolulu. It's great having him with us since he knows Honolulu like the back of his hand. He works for the Honolulu Police Department crime lab.
He was able to guide us to avoid traffic to get to Honolulu. We laughed when we saw the crowds at the Blaisdell Center. Wouldn't you know it seniors would be the ones to usually get up early to go anywhere?
Mom got her blood pressure checked.
After dropping off the Travel album with Auntie Grace we went to lunch and then to Marukai which is a membership store that sells a lot of Japanese groceries. I went to the Hello Kitty kids section since we wanted to see if there was anything KC might like. Everything was over priced. Dennis pointed out this sparkling wine warning (in small print) that it does contain alcohol.
I saw this little girl pick it up and bring it to her mom. There is something so not right about this!

Then came Dennis' turn. He and mom also got their flu shots from the Kaiser Permanente booth. (Art and I got ours at Tripler yesterday.)
We then walked around the center visiting a lot of the displays. Sigh... no, we didn't buy the Butter cookies. However, we collected a lot of freebies. Art signed up for his Zippy's Senior Card (must be 65) so he can always get 10% off his check from any Zippy's location. It costs $.99 for 2 years. It'll cost you $2.00 if you go to Zippy's to do it. I did the prize wheel at the Walgreens booth and got a $5.00 gift card to use at any Walgreens in the country. Whoopie!
We sure did have fun. Well, I did anyway.
