Karen at Fifty Four

Another rather boring training. Well, the training was full of stuff, it was the town that was boring. Ontario is an ugly, crowded, hot, desert. I tried to drive up into the mountains thinking there would be some hiking trails, but even that wasn't pretty. No need to ever return here!  

Another fairly uneventful FSR training. I didn't see too much in Fargo, except the wood chipper from the movie, Fargo. I missed a bunch of excitement in Florida though, Hurricane Milton came across the state. Thankfully my place was fine.  

Another FSR training in the books! I know I should have been super excited for this trip, but I wasn't really looking forward to it and I wasn't sure why. The trip over was long and painful. That many hours on a plane is terrible, not to mention the added hours due to flight delays!! But, no matter, I was going to Hawaii. I flew over a day early so I could be sure to get in some sightseeing. I arrived around 7pm on Sunday. I was so exhausted, I barely found the rental car and got myself to the hotel. I knew going into this that Honolulu was a monster city so I was braced for that part. The hotel was valet only, which was a bit of a pain getting in and out. The first night I ate poke from a convenience store. Ahi Spice Poke Bowl, to be exact (raw tuna on rice with spicy sauce). It was really good and I thought, hey, maybe this place isn't so bad. The next morning I booked a sea turtle snorkel tour through the Viator app. I woke up way too early... jet lag at its finest. The
