Next visitor please...

 It has been a loooong time since Ive added a new segment to my blog.  Things are pretty routine so not much happens unless someone comes to visit!  First was Michelle, now Lana, a tennis friend from LV has arrived.  She loved to play tennis so I took her to Waianae Pick up tennis group.  It is good tennis.  Forrest and Lana are there right now and Im sitting at home recovering from the "Beginner's hike" I took her to yesterday.  We drove up to the hills of Aiea and hiked to the top of the mountain.  Many parts of the trail was even but it was so muddy and parts of the trail were washed out.  I used my phone to track the distance and I clocked over 5 1/2 miles.  I fell twice and ran into only one tree limb.  Lana had no sore muscle but I could hardly get out of bed this morning.  Tennis was the last thing I wanted to!  Today we are going to lunch and to see the movie Unknown.  Lana should have some time to spend on the beach.  She has seen the real Hawaii!  Its the best part!  Since Forrest is off for two days, we will probably go to the north shore or to the windward part of the island trying out my new GPS device.  I tried it yesterday, but once we started hiking we did not get to it.

WE also are invited to  a sunset party on Sunday after we play tennis in the morning.  People gather together to watch the sunset and have a few goodies in the meantime.  I think that will be fun.  Then we will probably watch the Oscars.  Then Lana goes home on Monday.  Here are a few pictures of the hike:
