Leaving Moku o Keawe

We left Kohala about 1 pm even though our plane left Kona about 5 pm. We did a bunch of errands on the way to the airport. We stopped in Waimea to pick up granola for Curtis. This trip there was enough time to enough time to get to Mrs. Barry's Kona Cookies to pick up some omiyage; this is the same flight we took in February and the road work was still going on so I don't really understand why there was a traffic jam last time and none this time.


This morning we did most of our clean up and the run to the transfer station before breakfast. I also planted out the miniature white anthurium that I had brought from Honolulu; I hope it survives. I also used my walking app and walked as close to the perimeter of the property as I could to get an elevation of the property; it is about 1000 feet, with Maunalani being at about 1100 feet. I also marked the olena so it won't get mowed again and checked on the ilima papa.

We stopped to visit with Jessie; it was our first and last visit of this trip. Since this trip was so short we had so many things packed in to every day. Jessie has been having some problems with the vog. Even the brisk winds of Kohala have not been able to keep the density of the vog low enough that she can handle it.

We went to CSC Cafe for breakfast in order to see Lem but didn't find him there. After breakfast we headed on down to his house. He had just returned from a visit to the urgent care clinic in Waimea, he has been having a bout of itching that has only been getting worse. Hopefully, they've got it figured out this time.

On the plane I took a close look at the juice and water that they give you on the flight; both are from Waipahu. The juice does not have high fructose corn syrup. so that's good.



Curtis picked us up from the airport. He also took us out to dinner at Big City Diner. Curtis had the Hamburger Steak, Kai had the Kim Chee Burger, and I had the Catch of the Day.
