Impromptu Adventure

Most of my adventures
take place
in my own head
these days.

Routine can be 
comforting
when life has been
anything but -
Ye,t it's good
to shake things up
once in a while.

I drove to shop
in Hawaii Kai,
and the highway 
going back to Honolulu
looked like a 
parking lot.

On islands,
the main roads
are often coastal;
Not too many 
options.

But I decided
to make it an adventure
and continue around
the isle,
and come back
to town over 
the Pali Highway
through the 
Ko`olau mountains

H = Home, S= Shopping
P= Pali Highway

I chose an adventure
over a traffic jam.

Right choice!

I fell in love
with Oahu all over
again.

What a gorgeous day!
(Just sayin`)
& Sharing it with
YOU
is the best part.
Please keep safe
in Your adventures-

Toodle-OOO
       Warmly, cloudia

  7. That’s exactly the sort of adventure I’d welcome any day.

    Nothing like that available here though. Pretty scenery, yes, but rain to go with it.

  9. A great G. K. Chesterton quote. And it sounds like a nice mini-adventure in seeing things out of the usual.

    As we say in LA, hang loose and rest easy, Cloudia! Let the good times roll.
