Jan. 25, 2006 - Honolulu Realtors have the Aloha Spirit and Share it with me!, Day 8

I fly off to Honolulu to do another ePRO Presentation. Bub drives me in to the airport and gets to spend the day exploring Kona on his own before picking me and Richard up this evening. Rain, rain, rain. But in paradise, it really is quite nice. I think when you are from the desert, water is always a bit of a novelty and welcomed for the good it does the parched earth. Son, Richard, is back from a Thailand trip and comes to the presentation to help.

Again, I am welcomed with a huge turnout (over 130) and a warm, friendly reception. Thank you all for coming and for making my experience one I have appreciative thoughts! Hawaiian Realtors are evidently ready and hungry for any technology tips and tools to make them more profitable and successful. Shannon and the Honolulu staff were also exceptionally helpful as we also had to change venue because of the response! I cannot express enough thanks!

Son, Richard helps with the equipment and Realtor Stan Poppvich extends more Hawaiian hospitality by taking us back to the airport in his limo!

Bub meets us at the airport. We have moved to The Outrigger Fairway Villas at Waikoloa Beach Resort , a newer and upscale gated property in the Waikoloa resort area of the Big Island. This begins the transition from the business and quiet, laidback part of the vacation to my Christmas gift to the family: a week together in Hawaii in memory of my Dad, who passed away in May.

Son Richard and me EATING AGAIN!!!!!!!

A good dinner at The Kings Shops, The Big Island Steak House revives us and warms us up. Bub had a good day walking all over Kona, but even his surveyor legs that walk all day were tired!
