Final Night Gala, Waikiki







The final night galas used to always be "black tie". Now we have "theme" nights. Of course as we were in Hawaii, it had to be a Luau. Here we are dressed up for the occasion. As you can see I am sticking to "black tie"




Can you see how reluctant I was to be invited up on stage to dance the hula.


Could life be any more fun?

Conference in Waikiki!

We just came back from spending several days with 1100 of our closest friends and "family" at a company event in Honolulu onWaikiki Beach on the island of Oahu. Above you can see us with some of the other leaders of Team Europe.
On one afternoon, we went to Sam Choy's for lunch and ate Ahi Poke, a well known Hawaian speciality and then went on to the North Shore. Here you can see Suzanne on the beautiful beach.
Here we are with some close friends off to a spectacular gourmet dinner at the best restaurant we have ever experienced, Allan Wong's. We had a seven course tasting menu with matching wines and sake with six of the courses. What a feast for the palette that was.
As you can see we went to and from the restaurant in style. These pictures were actually taken on the way there. We were even happier on the way back!!!
