Sign seen near host hotel at IML. International Mr. Leather. If some of the pups here were really pawing around for realness, they’d catch these critters in their mouths and bring them in as offerings. Don’t hold your breath, y’all. It’s mostly just all about the outfits – and sure, a bit of sex.

From GH correspondent AidanAbroad. He’s in Shanghai. Because he can’t upload from China, he’s corresponding and we’re posting. There is air there. You can see it. Also, some quite tall buildings. 
But there are also lots of small streets and alleys. Lots of signage in English. International trade town. 
And of course there are men! Also wet floors. So says the signage. 
There is a television station devoted to Military Agriculture. Interesting. 
And because folks do dig food pics… 
Chinese banana eel roll!
Donkey meat…really!
Turtle shell jello… 
And Fly Juice. Let’s fly!
This is what I’ve always wanted to talk you. Be civil. Be healthy.
Mokulele Airlines. Tiny airline, tiny terminal, tiny plane.
More cool signage. More to follow…
Watching planes and airport personnel…
Volcanoes! Whales! Surfing! Snorkeling! Zip-line the jungle! Horseback riding! Golf! Manta rays! Vanilla Kitchen? Not so sure about that one. Brochure still-life…
Best not get dehydrated on the long flight….
Iolani Air signage…
Our plane…
A note of familiarity…
In the air. The view out the window. The underside of the wing…
The view of the aisle. The Ex-Texan’s boot…
Water traffic out the window…
Co-pilot. Nice view…
Landing on Maui…
How nice of The Ambassador in Waikiki to provide Eco-friendly collapsible water bottles for their guests. Also, it’s a good branding opportunity, with the corporate logo decorating each one. I’ve gotta wonder, though, what the design team was thinking in selecting bright yellow as the base color. I think it’s pretty funny, so I’m kind of glad they did, but I’d have gone with light blue. I do plan to re-use them filled with a different flavor of water at our annual summer party. Select guests will appreciate that. The Ex-Texan, who agrees with me that they look like medical sample collectors, or maybe catheter bags, models them in the hotel elevator. As always, this is our opinion, only. Urine may vary…

Nice view! Waikiki beach. When the ex-Texan was here many years ago when he was in the Navy, he met a young Hawaiian guy and they had sex. In the surf and again under a banyan tree. Ex-Tex sure couldn’t take his new pal back to the ship and the boy still lived with his parents. So beach and bushes it was! 
Mymymymymymy Papaya!
Fried Rice. Nice!
Peace. Love. Barbecue and eggs Benedict. All at the Outrigger overlooking Waikiki beach. Later: pics of sweet-looking beach boys!
A beautiful pheasant cock on Haleakala.
