My first visit to the US was to Hawaii in 1974. I took this picture ... two days ago. I used the software to make it look old.

I am back from Hawaii

Oct

8

I took 12:50pm flight out of Hawaii and arrived in Seattle 9:30pm. It was little less than 6 hour flight. Although I did not have very much time for sight seeing, I met several people from Executives Associations from Canada and the USA.

It was very interesting and educational. We also met a few local business people and started dialogues. I do not know if Hawaii can be another market for us, but it is a very interesting market.

I guess they don't want my business

4.35 for single latter at Starbucks in Hilton. They don't even have free
wi-fi. They said it is owned by Hilton. I guess they are not looking for any
repeat business.

Sprint 3G/4G Mobile Hot Spot

Oct

7

Last three days, I have been using Sprint 3G/4G Mobile Hot Spot (pictured) in Hawaii. My room does not have wireless access (there is a wired access but iPad does not have RJ45).

Every few minuets, this thing stops working and I need to restart. It is very frastrating.

Last day in Hawaii

Oct

7

I am leaving Hawaii on 12:50pm flight. I will be arriving in Seattle around 9:30pm.

I did not have much time for sight seeing but that was not a readon why I came here anyway. I came here for International Executives Association and to meet some companies and people in Hawaii. I accoplished what I came here for and actually I learned a few things at IEA conference which I can use in my business.

Mahalo to IEA and Hawaii Executives. I will be back.

Waikiki - - - My first USA.

Oct

6

I came to Hawaii when I was 15 years old. That was my first experience being outside of Japan. For 15 year old boy, this was the USA. Food, People, Culture, Beach, Bikini, Aloha ... I was shocked. This place opened my eyes to the richness of the life. Besides, everyone spoke Japanese. I said to myself, I think I can live in the USA.

This experience lead me to my decision to go to college in the USA. When I arrived in Los Angles, I found out nobody spoke Japanese. But that was another story. I have one more day here and fling back to Seattle.
