After my morning exercise (set to the tune of some truly miserable football by New England), I strapped on my flip flops to hike the beach to Diamond Head.
Mistakes:
1) Not verifying how far away it really was - or for that matter, how I would locate it from the surf.
2) Not checking the bus schedule.
3) Failing to realize that flipflops were not the footware I would want for the return trip.
4) Not verifying how to locate my hotel on the way back.
Outbound, I took a break at Kapiolani Park. Not a problem for its own sake, but because I spent so much time there, on the return flight I had myself convinced that was "almost home". Ugh. Given how my feet and legs feel right now, I probably should have hopped onto the #8 bus as soon as I found one. Fortunately, I remembered that the one thing I didn't want to do was cross Ala Wai.
