*** Quoting Ruth Haffly from a message to Carol Shenkenberger ***

RH> Hi Carol,

RH> A friend of ours spent his honeymoon there; Navy guy and referred to i
RH> as the "holy cow".

 CS> Reason was?

RH> It was just Frank's way of trying to get around the Hawaiian language.
RH> BTW, dinner plans were revised again from what I wrote earlier in the
RH> Home Cooking echo.  Steve decided we'll keep the grill & try to get a
RH> replacement for the damaged part.  It's smoking a couple of game hens;
RH> squash is in the oven, dressing will go in the oven in a bit and the
RH> pumpkin roll is reposing in the fridge.  Simple but filling.


Ok on the grill.  DEfinately recall the 'new to Hawaii' tounge twist shift.
Halekoa is easier than the Lekeleke (or was that Likelike?) or Kamehemeha.  My
spelling is probably a bit off after all these years for us.  Left there in
1989.

RH> as most RH> AFRC places have, and, IIRC, a place for souveniers.

 CS> Cool!  I knew we ate there.  They had a pool and a BX?  Humm.  Uh.
 CS> Well. Didnt notice.  Room service was nice though!


RH> We never got the room service as we were only there the one night.

I do recall it was a nice sliver cart and the fellow smiled alot.  Could have
had something to do (his smiles) with the fact that later Don told me I had my
bathrobe on inside out.

Oh, we did go to the 'party' early evening before we went to our room.  You
know, Don Ho and all that.  Longest married couple, newest married couple (we
won that one easily being just 2 hours and foks laughed as we quibbled the
number of minutes).  I think they had food there.  Pretty sure.  All I really
remember was Don in a grass skirt dancing on the stage for me.

I think Don Ho was next door so we wandered over there.  Tickets we had gave us
room to shift about (Honeymoon packet I got from work combined with one Don
got from work).

 CS> walls. (Boing boing boing go the kids peels.  Got a tranquilizer?  Not
 CS> for her as it won't do any good.  For me <g>.)

RH> She's a kid just before Chirstmas; what do you expect? (G) Wait a few
RH> years; when she's not home any more you'll miss that.

Oh I am sure!  Meantime, it's snowing pretty heavy here.  Funny thing, folks
are talking 'global warming' but Sasebo has been changing to colder than ever
before as i've been here. When I got here, snow happened (so I was told) every
10 years.  It's snowed the last 3 in a row.  Forecast says it may hit us realy
hard in a week (sticking snow due to falling that fast) for some goodly 3
inches?  May sound not like much to the rest of you, but i live in an area
that would be roughly similar to Miami (maybe a bit north, but not as far as
Tallahasse).
