Coconut Telegraph

We heard from a friend who lives in Tahiti this week.  She's traveling to Hilo for a visit/vacation in October.  I last saw her on the occasion of her 50th birthday, and we both are 56 this year.  

We met at a mutual friend's memorial service in Eureka in 1996.  She was raised in Humboldt County, and moved to Moorea many years ago.  She doesn't leave her island very often, so this is pretty cool.  Did you know Tahiti is only about a six hour flight from here?

As it seems with most old friends lately, our differences have become more obvious through the years.  Hoping we can enjoy the good things together that we still share while she is here.  A lot has gone on since the last time I saw her.  I want her to teach me how to kayak.  She has an outrigger canoe at home.
