Hawaiian Islands Vacation ultimately a Disaster

 From Jan 21 to Feb. 1, 2026 I island hopped from Oahu (saw the USS Arizona Memorial Site from afar, brief orientation tour of Honolulu, hosted a Geocaching Event at Starbucks, had British Afternoon Tea) to Hawaii Big Island (Volcanoes Nat'l Park/Kilauea Crater, Black Sand Beach, Punuluu Bake Shop and Kailua-Kona) and the "Garden Isle" of Kauai (Waimea Canyon and Spouting Horn) to Maui (ice cream in Paia Town and visited Iao Valley, a landscape that Mark Twain called the “Yosemite of the Pacific,” to view the Iao Needle and watched "Below Deck" on television).  The last three days of the trip were a complete and utter disaster beginning with the Outrigger Kaanapali Beach Resort in Lahaina.   It has taken me over a week to recover my health.
