9/ 27 -9/28 - Aloha Spirit in North Bend, Indiana

9/27 and 9/28 - 2007
We arrived in Chicago at 4:30 in the morning. We rented a car and drove to Elkhart, Indiana to pick up our Honu Hale. It was lunch time when we got there so we had to wait for Gary to get back. He spent almost 3 hours going over everything with us. It was gassed and ready to go but we weren't. It was just way too much information to process on top of jet lag. He assured us we could pick it up the next day. There was also a problem with the title and the corrected copy hadn't arrived yet.
Jodi Awaya, who I use to work with in Honolulu, had invited us to stay with them. They live in South Bend which was just 15 miles from Elkhart. They have two dogs named Kona and Kai and a beautiful Townhouse which is very close to Notre Dame. We went to a darling pub for dinner and drove around the campus which was very impressive. We ended up staying a second night because it took us forever to get all that we needed for the Motor Home and to return the Rental Car. By the time we got the Motor Home packed it was dark. We went to an Italian restaurant which was very good.
We had breakfast with Jodi at Perkins which is a very nice family restaurant that was located right next door to their place.
Hated to leave Jodi and Jon and their wonderful hospitality but we wanted to go back to Elkhart and actually stay in the Motor Home. We wanted to make sure all worked and most important we knew what we were doing.
