One door closes, another opens

Cessna ... one word you do not want to see on your airline ticket. It brings much fear and un-happy thoughts. However, my 9 passenger Cessna flights were very smooth and not nearly as frightening as I anticipated. It was basically like flying with a friend. The captain helped us load up, gave us the safety information and unloaded our luggage upon arrival.

The last two days were spent with five of my friends on one of the most remote Hawaiian Islands, Molokai. The population of Molokai is 8,000. It is very open and it moves at a much slower pace. There are only a few places that are open after dark and we did hear a rumor that there was a caution light on the island somewhere, but we travelled all over and never saw it.

Upon our arrival, we headed to Auntie Lee's house. One of Heidi's co-workers owns a four bedroom, three bathroom vacation home that we were allowed to stay at only having to pay the $75 cleaning fee. The house was built in 1960 and boy was it retro. There were enough beds that 15 people could sleep comfortably in the house and from the lanai we could see Lanai and Maui in the background.

Some of the highlights from the trip were driving down to Halawa Valley (very comparable to the Road to Hana, but a bit scarier and a bit more beautiful), hiking to the phallic rock, the overlook at the leprosy colony, and relaxing. We were able to see Maui, Lanai, Kahoolawe, and Oahu from different ares of the island.

Over all it was a very relaxing weekend. I will probably never go back to Molokai, once is enough to see it all.

For those concerned.... the sleeping pills helped a bit, but I am not really taking them unless I really need to.

I have also started applying for jobs...

I should be putting in my official notice at work sometime this week
