Dead End

The move to the “old folks home” in Waikiki was executed with no associated problems. The move could have been further expedited were it not for the “junks” stuffed in numerous plastic bags. Another gym bag would have been ideal. Some amount of time had to be expended to clean the studio apartment. The minivan was parked in its new home at the Waikiki Banyan.

The new routine calls for a commute to Ala Moana Center on the bus in the morning. Coffee will be procured at the fast food joint since there is no microwave oven in the community room at the “old folks home” to properly prepare instant coffee. The rest of the day’s itinerary will remain the same except that all commuting will be to and from Waikiki.

Waikiki

The evening itinerary will differ slightly. An extended amount of time can be spent at Ala Moana Center because there are buses running to Waikiki fairly late. The new Saturnalia hours are in effect, too. So, all of the stores and eateries are open until 10pm. That’s about the only advantage of Saturnalia.

Lots of paperwork was affixed to the door of the new studio mausoleum. The paperwork was completed and deposited in the requested location. The paperwork included the usual release for financial documentation. And, there was a specific document that had to be signed disclosing absolutely no ownership of a vehicle. Obviously, several steps must be taken to insure that finances and vehicle ownership are hidden.

The future one-year tenure at the “old folks home” in Waikiki is the “end of the line.” If the difficulties adjusting to the unsustainable life-style of empire continues, there will be no other option but procuring a homeless motorhome (read: cargo van camper conversion). In the meantime, many preparations will be made for the latter possibility including the divestiture of the minivan as soon as possible. Any surplus money will be saved for the drastic contingency.

Addendum: The evening itinerary that was tested during the one-month “vacation” in Waikiki, courtesy the former landlord in ‘Nalo, has been resurrected. The new International Marketplace is definitely the place to relax and enjoy free wireless Net access. Free flicks on the The Roku Channel on the Web appear to play flawlessly. A music “app” may be downloaded and used for more “free” fun in Waikiki,
