My first tour of the world's largest Shopping Mall-Ala Moana.

We drove back to Honolulu to visit Forrest's knee doctor.  All is great and he can now return to playing tennis.  (he failed to tell his doctor that he already been back on the court for two weeks).

We also had to stop at the Apply store at nearby Ala Monana shopping center.   Forrest's phone still has not dried out.  I LEARNED salt water verses the iPhone is bad.  Just dropping your phone in water is MUCH better than swimming with it in your pocket in salt water!!  In case anyone gets their phone wet...........you should be able to put in it into silicon gel (the stuff you use to dry flowers) for a few days.  He still hasnt figured out what to do to replace the phone.  I tell him to just bite the bullet and pay for another phone.

So walking from the Apple store, we landed in this very neat store that sells everything Japanese.  I mean this stuff is not found on the Mainland.  So many interesting things!  I bought a very neat purse (Elise Tran) that is manufactured here in Hawaii but distributed only in Hawaii and Japan.   It has all kinds of compartments (plus a sewn in Kleenex compartment) It converts into a backpack,  a big selling point for me.   I must admit I bought it because of the sales lady!  I LEARNED a good sales pitch is worth it.  This saleswoman (Japanese)  was so humble and she even would bow each time I had a questions!  Very professional!






After that we had wonderful lunch at Neiman Marcus!  It doesnt matter at what Neiman Marcus you eat at........they all have those excellent popovers & a great menu. The location at Waikiki is very beautiful overlooking the park and ocean.Click here to see a few more photos of the lunch





So that is what I LEARNED this week!
