Live til the sugar cane tassels

Honolulu, Hawaii, United States
Hawaiian phrase that means live til your hair whitens with age, well we are at that stage and making the most of it.
Walked to Waikiki beach, set up on the oceans edge.  The beach is heavily dosed with tourists. The ocean is dotted with surfers and their boards, great to watch them effortlessly and gracefully ride their boards to shore. My Michael is banned from these islands as I can easily visualize him abandoning the corporate rat race and becoming one of these professional surfers.We walk into the beautiful turquoise water and reflect on how lucky we are to be in this place.
We see lots of young Asian brides, we stop to talk to a couple, finding it amusing that his formal attire is a NYC shirt although he is from South Korea. We take pictures for them and they return the gesture.
We stop for lunch at aWolfgang express and people watch for a while,  Then back to the beach until the clouds overtake us, back to the Vive , a boutique hotel just two blocks from the beach.  They have supplied us with all the necessities, towels, mats, umbrellas and sunscreen too.(except unlimited sunshine)
We meet up with our travel partners, they have ventured to the Pearl Harbor Memorial today.  We go out to dinner at a food truck arena where you can choose from so many food venues.  Then beachside to see the fireworks. The streets are crowded and lively, there is a union strike at the major hotels and tomorrow is a gay pride parade.  We stop fora goodnight drink and hurry to the Hotel in the drizzle.

You’re right, I may end up heading there and never coming back. I am going through my one-third life crisis thus I’m unstable and likely to make a life altering decision with little thought

Mike if any crisis ends in Hawaii, I struggle to see the problem
