Waikiki is the Place to Be

                                                                               Waikiki

I was driving out to my open house yesterday and it hit me.  The sun was up, the birds were singing and the surf was perfect.  But something was wrong with this picture.

As I stopped along the way to set up road side signs a car went by.  It had surf boards strapped to the top and a group of folks heading for the beach.

I used to do that before I had a life.  Hmmm... maybe that was when I had a life.  

I bet those part time agents are at the beach, probably hanging out at my favorite spot too.  I know most of the escrow and loan officers are there or on the golf course.  It doesn't seem fair.

So I have decided.  I am heading for Waikiki on Friday morning with my family and not returning until Sunday night.  I may check my e-mail, I may write a blog just to let everyone in snow country know how warm the water is or I may not.  The beauty of living in paradise is I can drive 30 minutes and be on vacation.

Aloha to all of you fellow 7 day a week agents who never stop to enjoy paradise.  Take a few days with your family and enjoy the holiday weekend.

Thanks Randy,

                          Go ahead and rub it in. It's been about 12 yrs since we've been out there. If it wasn't for such a long flight we would go out more often. I'm jealous it didn't get above 45 degrees today.

Oh well,

Thanks Jay

Aloha Randy!

Thanks for the memories.....I was out there twice, but it's been a number of years. 

Your point is well-taken - take time to enjoy the life we've got while we've got it!

Enjoy the nice long Hawaiian Thanksgiving weekend!

Great reminder, Randy. We aren't doing our clients any justice if our own batteries are charged up regularly!

Mahalo!

We not only need to recharge our batteries, but wee also need to spend quality time with our families.  After all they are the reason we work so hard.

I will be at the beach all weekend and may even play a little chess with the beach tables.

Bikinis, sun and surf.  What a tough way to spend the winter.

Aloha to all in snow country, stay warm.
