Friday Bullet Points from Waikiki

• Sunny and warm; February in Hawaii is about perfect summer weather
• Umbrella drinks in plentiful supply
• About as Vegas-like as Hawaii can get, in a good way
• Lots of Japanese tourists wielding selfie sticks
• Jellyfish warnings at the beach
• Taxi fares all end up being about twice what people tell you they will be
• Wife’s birthday planned for Farrell’s
• No Super Bowl craziness to deal with
• Headed to Pearl Harbor tomorrow
• Will be arriving back home when everybody is finally leaving

Also, we can see Diamond Head from our hotel room.
