DIARY OF ADMIRAL & MRS. TURNER'S TRIP TO CALIFORNIA/HAWAII
19 - 28 December 1980
19-21 December 1980
We left Dulles at 10:30 for San Diego. Laurie met us at the airport and
we went back to her house after an intermediate stop at the Naval Communications
Station where I tried to find out what was going on in Washington with regard
to the latest Iranian reply on the hostage situation. There wasn't enough for
me to consider turning around and going back home.
Laurie's house looks very nice with Grandma Turner's furniture and other
possessions scattered all around and our dining room table and buffet. We
took Laurie out to dinner at a new waterfront shopping complex by the old
ferry piers and then trundled into bed early as we were sleepy from the time
change.
Saturday Laurie went to concert practice in the morning; we then drove to
LaJolla and a new shopping center and spent a generally relaxing day shopping
and driving. At suppertime we went over to in San Diego
and had dinner with them, , On Sunday, we went to Laurie's
Episcopal church and heard her sing in the choir, though there wasn't much use
of the choir in the service. We had a nice lunch along with
from our Security force at the main dining room of the Hotel Dell. Afterwards,
we drove back to.LaJolla and had a nice visit with An
interesting point here is that five or six years ago when I saw=just after
he had gone to work for Teledyne Ryan he told me it was just great to be in
the private sector and don't put it off too long. This time he admitted he
was a bit bored with in effect being a consultant. Apparently they are phasing
him down. We had a quiet evening at Laurie's. The next morning we left at
10:00 for Hawaii.
22-28 December 1980
We arrived in Honolulu just after lunchtime. We were astounded at the
number of highrises on the Waikiki skyline, especially those that are far back
from the beach. We also noted a vast new runway that had been built out into
the lagoon and a very long taxi ride for the aircraft. At that it still only
takes you to a "Wiki-Wiki" bus that takes you into the main terminal. From
there you have to drive around the inter-island terminal where we caught an
Aloha airline flight to Maui. from our office was waiting for us and drove
us the 50-minute trip to condominium on the northwest corner of
the island.

The development) is in was just past the Kapaalua Bay Hotel. It is
a group of ten or eleven four-unit condominium buildings. From the outside
they look like city dwellings rather than something that belongs in Polynesia.
Inside is a rather plush two and one-half bedroom, three-bath apartment.
It has a nice balcony but no place from which you can get any sun. We settled
into the master bedroom suite, including canope bed with mirrors all above and
around.
We quickly found the swimming pool and hot tub that the development has
and enjoyed both. We began to soak in the view from the porch. It looks
across the Molokai channel to the eastern half of Molokai Island. This made
it particularly pleasant, even more so than just looking out at the ocean.
We were plenty ready for.bed with another two-hour time change behind us.
The 23rd, 24th and 25th we were by ourselves. We played a daily game
of tennis and made a daily trip to the hot tub and swimming pool. We had a
scrumptious dinner at the Kapaalua Bay Hotel's Veranda Room one night. Generally
speaking, we loafed and I worked on some think pieces. Patricia read The Covenant
and I read aspy novel. We soaked up a lot of sun..
On Christmas night, daughter and son-in-law arrived. We
expected them but did not expect the couple they brought with them,
moved into the half-bedroom
off the living room. They were with us the 26th and 27th. On one of those
days, Patricia. and I made a trip to Lahaina which we had last seen in 1959.
. It was then a sleepy little town; it's now a sleazy tourist boardwalk. The
number of hotels and condominium developments between Lahaina and Kapaalua
is just unbelievable. On Sunday, the 28th, we took the
to a scrumptious buffet luncheon at the Kapaalua Bay Hotel. Later in the
afternoon, we drove to the airport and headed back to Honolulu.
