Always Oahu. Her brother lives here. Stay at the Kahala. Trust me, if we were in Maui ,you and I would be having Mai Tais right now! House built yet? Must be beautiful! Can't imagine a better place to live than where you are at.

Was invited to a sneak peek at the new Polaris Lounge yesterday in Chicago before it opens today. I was blown away!! United has exceeded my expectations in so many ways!!! When I heard last year that they were shutting down all the First Class Lounges around the world, it more than disappointed me , it pissed me off. I was expecting Polaris to be a "dummied down" version of a FCL. OMG! The complete opposite !! This new lounge is now the best United lounge ever!! Even much better than the London FCL!!! Well done United. You exceeded your own hype!!!

First of all, a very Merry Christmas to everyone and a Happy New Year as well. For all of you traveling over the holidays a safe journey. Last week of travel for me ,but my best week all year. It started last Monday flying up to New Hampshire for the day to land the biggest contract for the year! Home on Tuesday where my wife spoiled me for my 63rd birthday. Wednesday morning ,I flew to Chicago to pick up my youngest son for some 1 on 1 time for 2 days in Cancun. Friday afternoon we returned to Chicago to Catch up with my oldest son, his wife and my granddaughter for a good old fashion Christmas celebration. Saturday I flew back to New Jersey to celebrate Christmas Eve with my wife and her extended family (of over 40) , came home to watch It's a Wonderful Life for the 156th time(still love it) , exchanged presents and went to bed just before midnight. Got up early Christmas morning, caught a flight to Chicago to connect to a flight to Hong Kong. ( ending up in Phuket) And who did I meet up with in the Polaris Lounge? Oscar Munoz and his family! Where were they going? Nowhere! They were all there to visit and spend time with the employees working at O'hare on Christmas!! How many CEO's and their families are doing that today? God bless all of you and God bless all my friends at United!!!

Another awesome Christmas movie that's often overlooked is "Meet John Doe" with Barbara Stanwyck and Gary Cooper. I'll refund the cost if you watch it and don't like it (it's available for free on youtube, since it's in the public domain).

Just curious, is your whole family on the same "get up and go!" train as you, or does anyone ever get tired and take a break? My family thinks I'm nuts because I'm in that "get up and go!" category... it hasn't seemed to rub off on the rest of them. :-)
