Wednesday – August 12: Another relaxing day. Sandy did some work in the morning and then we headed down to Kona to do a few errands before seeing a movie. I was trying out a method to attach the solar panel to the car cover, I think I have several options to choose from. We saw G.I. Joe and Rosie was looking for hawaiiana for her new apartment.

We packed up and sent out, one of the flat rate boxes via the UP Postal Service. Sandy and I spent some time organizing things to ship home. The reality of this summer coming to a close is very sobering.

Tuesday – August 11: Kind of a slow day, the clouds were down low due to hurricane Felicia. It was very humid today with little wind and Sandy worked most of the day.

I went to the Waikoloa Village Market for breakfast, but missed it. So, I picked up 2 lunch plates, the special was Chicken Fried Steak for 6.99. It was HUGE, 2 patties, choice of starch and veggies. They do have quite a hot meal section!

For dinner, we went to Huli Sues’s in Waimea. On the way home, the weather was foggy and humid, it was interesting! The BBQ was very good, I’d be happy to go back.

We hoped to see the Perseiod meteor shower, but we were definitely socked in weatherwise … We spend the evening getting our travel plans to Chico to drop off Rosie figured out. We are renting a car at LAX after our arrival, driving it home and then taking it to Chico on Wednesday with Grandma’s car for Rosie. Next Saturday, we’ll return the car to Sacramento and then fly home! Whew,  on Monday, the 24th, school begins for Rosie and me. Hopefully, Douglas will drive through from Santa Cruz on Satuday, spend the night and then drive on Sunday (23rd) to Prescott and his senior year!
