Road Trip 2021 Part Four: The last leg of the journey

Aloha all,

Blog #4 of the road trip, 2021.

All going well; so wonderful to hug family and friends all along the way.

The new car is en route home to Hawaii now and I am finishing the road trip by flying the last two legs: San Diego to Islip NY and then NYC to Honolulu.
