After my last company folded up and blew away, I wanted to do O-henrou
around
the 88 temples of Shikoku for about a month.  The spousal unit wanted
to about 1 month
in Hawaii and Maui.  Goes without saying which one we ended up doing.
Maybe some
day when I retire again I will make it back to Shikoku.
