Life in Hawaii got very busy for us. On February 1st, my aunt, Carole Frank (Combined Locks, WI) and Carma (my second cousin on myMom’s mothers side) and Guy Foley (Seabeck, WA) joined us at the Pacific Monarch in Waikiki along with Raini Miller (3rd cousin) (Honolulu). It was a busy week for all of us. Raini took those three around the island for a few days and then joined us for fun in Waikiki.
