CHAPTER 24

Ray’s flight from Brisbane to Hawaii left as scheduled at 9.55 pm. With the night being clear the lights of Brisbane International Airport and the extensive infrastructure of the Port of Brisbane were quickly left behind as the Hawaiian Airlines Flight headed east in search of the tropical islands which made up the state of Hawaii.

As is always hoped for when flying, the flight to Hawaii went smoothly. But was it memorable? Well yes. Ray had an aisle seat and was seated next to a woman whom Ray thought should have booked two seats, or at least a box in the cargo container. To Ray’s 62 kg, she seemed to be at least two to three times the weight, if not the volume he occupied.

Ray thought to himself of his recent flight from Hawaii to Sydney, Overnight In first class was easily forgettable for sleeping in fully reclining sleeper beds comes naturally and peacefully, but economy, who really likes this? At least he had Alisha to think about as he fitfully dozed during the night.

With sunup, a light breakfast was served and the plane landed without incident to a greeting of early but bright clear sky, with just a hint of breeze. Through passport control and customs and quarantine, he was greeted by Alisha wearing light cargo pants and a Hawaiian T-shirt, and held at arm’s length a traditional floral lei for Ray.

Ray, looking, and no doubt smelling partly like a used dish cloth after the night flight, could only think and say, “That sounds great. Let’s go.”

Alisha took Ray to her two-bedroom bungalow near the Salt Lake District Park and Honolulu Country Club, in all about ten minutes at most from the airport, suggested he might shower and freshen up, while she made coffee and prepared a light breakfast. For Ray, he was on the gates of heaven. The day was crystal clear, the temperature in the low twenties 0C, the air was lightly scented with frangipani, freshly cut papaya, pineapple and limes, and the alluring aroma of coffee. Of course, there was also Alisha, who in Ray’s eyes was nothing short of stunning. Her skin was smooth and light brown, her hair shoulder length, straight and black.

Breakfast was served on the lanai which jutted out into the garden where the plants varied in size, shape and colour as only a tropical garden does.

Ray had been to Hawaii several times before, but the perspective gained from having a local host certainly always differs for the better from that of being an unescorted visitor. Though Ray
