Slow Days

It’s become pretty clear that we’re in kind of a lull now that spring break is over and school is back in session. On Monday and Tuesday we’re on the afternoon shift at the Center. We’ve had very few visitors until about 6pm when folks come over from the Polynesian Cultural Center for a short 20-minute visit. The nightly show starts at 7:30 pm and most of the PCC visitors will have dinner around 5 pm or so. That means they have a little time to kill after dinner and before the show. By that time most of the other venues at the PCC are closed (the people there are preparing for the nightly show) so a lot of people take advantage of the free tram ride that goes through the university and the city of Laie and stops at the Visitors’ Center. They’ll get of the tram at the Center and stay until the next tram comes about 20 minutes later to take them back to the PCC.

Otherwise it’s been very quiet. Fortunately it hasn’t been overly hot so being outside waiting for visitors isn’t “hard duty”. It just gets long and somewhat boring. Thankfully there’s a Kindle app on my iPhone….

We did a session at the Laie Temple this morning after the Visitors’ Center Training Meeting. This is such a beautiful temple and I enjoyed the time there this morning.

Tomorrow is our Preparation Day. We’ll be driving into Honolulu to the Apple Store where I’m going to look at the new Apple Watch. They are only for sale online, but the Apple stores have demonstration units available to “try on” to decide what combination of watch and watchbands a person wishes to purchase. My “try on” appointment is at 9:30 am and will take a half-hour or less. After that, we haven’t got anything planned. Maybe we’ll go sit on a beach somewhere! There are plenty of beautiful beaches around.

Life is “lazing” along.
