Decisions

A monthly parking pass for the soon-to-be former senior citizen mobile command center (read: minivan) was purchased for a whopping $220 at the Waikiki Banyan. In the days of the detestable “condotel” unit, the same pass cost $100 for one month.

The conundrum, of course, is that the minivan will be parked for six days straight. It will only be driven one day per week for the usual Hawai’i Kai visit. The mileage will be about 15 round trip. Obviously, keeping and maintaining the minivan becomes a ludicrous proposition. In fact, the whole charade may have been staged to finally force a decision to sell the vehicle once and for all.

As stated in a previous Note, a two-month “grace period” will be initiated once the minivan is parked at the Waikiki Banyan at considerable cost. All other alternatives will be vigorously pursued. On a a solution is found, the minivan will be divested.

Addendum: The representative at the Waikiki Banyan was extremely cordial and helpful, a significant improvement over the person who was in that position in the detestable “condotel” days.
