Return to Waikiki

Marlowe departed Lanai to return to Waikiki for dad's conference. Before leaving, Marlowe visited his new friend Leila, daughter of dad's friend Joe from college.

Leila's home featured a number of delights, including back yard reptiles.

Dog the Bounty Hunter resides near Leila's home. Here is a shot of his gate.

Marlowe was pleasantly surprised by the hotel arrival kit, which included a stuffed animal named Douglas, sponge letters spelling his name, and a Marlowe-sized robe and slippers.
