Last month I had to return to Portland (ポートランド not ポーランド) for a family get-together (集まり). Because there are no direct flights (直行便) from Japan to Portland, I decided to fly via (経由) Honolulu and use the opportunity to spend a few days in the city.
The last time I was in Hawaii was in the winter of 2016. I had been wanting to go back, but the pandemic and then my mother’s health prevented me.
Although it was short visit—only two nights—I am so happy that I went.
In the coming days, I will be posting anecdotes from my trip to both Honolulu and Portland.
