The Dream Holiday
Topic: North America

       In the 80’s on a quick stop, I looked out the plane window at Waikiki, and thought that doesn’t look like a bad place. I should stop here next time I’m going through. Little did I know that it would take me Forty years to get back here. I’m on the fully paid junket. My friend has always dreamt of going to New York City, to see the Christmas lights. What’s more she wants me to come along. Even better still, she’s paying. A week at Waikiki, to warm up first at a five star resort. Then on to NYC, for a week at the finest in Times Square, shows on Broadway, and Giant Gorillas in the Empire state. Like most things it was too good to be true. My friend had to race home for an emergency, and all the 5 star bookings vanished in a flash, along with the stress free luxury holiday. Oh well, back to the Honolulu YMCA for me, and sleeping in friends vacant flats. Thanks Niki, Duncan and Darragh.
