Starting the count down to American Samoa etc

Much of this week will be getting ready for our trip as we leave on Sunday morning for Hawaii, American Samoa and the cruise.

I have been nervous about all our details as I did them and when that happens who knows!  Well Terry and I sat down at the kitchen table yesterday and went through everything--I think!  We started with the flight to and from Hawaii, then the flight to and from American Samoa, then the hotel in Samoa, then the rental car for 6 days, the day long visit to Pearl Harbor was looked at, we made sure the AirBuB was set and finally the 7 night cruise around the island.  Oh I did make reservations for a day excursion from the ship to one of the national parks but the other is up in the air.  The park on Maui is still a question.  We are on the island more than 24 hours so we should be able to make it work but the only excursion is a sunset trip when the visitor center is closed.  I will have to figure it out.

I will get some work done this week but very little.  I want to get the post for the stairs glued up and I think that can happen fairly easily.  I did get the lawn mowed yesterday which means I can mow it again Saturday just before we leave on Sunday.  I do want to get it fertilized before we go.

The garden is doing well and I have not had to water it for the last couple of days.  With .9' of rain it is good.  The rain came down and soaked in so the garden is going to take off as the warm weather comes.  It is supposed to get to 80 today but then in the 9 days after it looks like mid to high 80s with two days in the 90s.

Not much more left to say.  I am going on a short bike ride this morning.  That darn right leg is giving me problems as I get on and off the bike.  IF I act like an old man when I mount or dismount I am fine so will swallow my pride and show my age!!!

I have finished breakfast and have only one cup of FP left so will save that until I return.
