Air Force 1 from a previous visit Aloha from the temporary power spot of the world! The Obamas landed late last night. Our normally busy skies were still in hushed expectation. [flight restrictions] Then a lone light over the Pacific, and the sweep around to Joint Base Pearl Harbor/Hickam. No ceremony last night.Just a tired family ready to get to bed![ We got to see them on local TV ] The girls looked tired and relaxed; The First Lady waited patiently in another car while the President talked at length with an admiral. The two First Dogs were clearly eager for the patch of lawn they pulled their human over to. [Yes, cameras panned away when...] Then 10 minutes over the spine of Oahu, over temporarily closed highways, with police escort. Don't you wish YOU could get home from a long flight so fast? We are used to it, especially the Kailua neighbors who say that the Secret Service people are very considerate. I have it on good authority from someone vetted out the yin-yang to provide services to the President while here, that there are lots of new, young, eager Secret Service agents this year. Shhhhhh! It's a SECRET! I bet the President worked out today at Kaneohe Marine Base, or played golf. Good for him! He looked strong at yesterday's press conference where he called on women reporters only, raising something of a fuss among the Talk-er-ati. Michelle enjoys a restaurant practically under my window. [2 visits last year] Let's see if they return! More gossip later! For now, here is a photo of the parking lot at Ala Moana Shopping Center two nights ago at 10pm: |
