Mainland run...in reverse

I'm home now and getting back in the swing of things. Went to the Bay Area for a long weekend to attend the National Kidney Association's Annual Authors Luncheon. A fabulous event! More on that later. Also was able to see many friends, as well as spend a lot of time with family. Although my boys were missed, the days flew by filled with good times that were truly good for the soul and spirit.
I sat on the left side of the plane that brought me back to HNL yesterday, which offered this view of Leeward Oahu. The large mass of homes in the center of the photo above the freeway (H1) is where we live. To the left and out of the frame is Ko Olina. Below the freeway (in view) is commercial development in Kapolei (stores and gas stations, etc.) as well as more housing. The plane was flying east over the coastline, in its final descent to the airport.
