Reminiscing about our honeymoon to Hawaii ... getting a lei ... seeing Don Ho ... interspersed with Dean Martin and the Goddiggers ...
When my wife, Maria, and I, native 'Yats - from New Orleans, honeymooned to Hawaii in 1983, we got to meet the "Dean Martin" of the East: "Don-Ho," who was famous for his "Tiny Bubbles" song.
My wife, Lady M, made sure I didn't look to much for the "Golddiggers!"
And as we got off the airplane in Honolulu, it was great to be greeted by some lovely natives who helped me to get to know the "leis" of the land!

When I was married on December 28 in Wisconsin, we wished for a tropical honeymoon, but our finances called for only a driving trip north to Lake Superior in a winter wonderland of constant light snowing and good roads. We came to the Old Rittenhouse Inn in Ashland without a reservation. I literally knocked on the door and asked, "Do you have a room in the Inn? Thankfully, the answer was, "Yes." Otherwise we would have slept in the car.
