Comments: The full list of Vertigo Tour dates shows on screen during City of Blinding Lights, ending with "131. Honolulu." The band stops to bring a fan on stage during Angel of Harlem, but the fan wants to play Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses - on piano. So, they do, with U2 struggling to get through the impromptu set list addition. Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong plays and sings on The Saints Are Coming. Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder and Mike McCready join U2 for Rockin' In The Free World. The show ends with the band embracing their stage crew as they leave the stage one at a time. Larry gets the final word: 'See you soon.'

 

What's the longest flight on an airplane you've ever taken? What was the best part? ...And the worst?

The longest flight I've taken was from Boston to Honolulu.  Six hours from Boston to LAX and then six more hours from LAX to Honolulu.  Did it in April and December of 2006.

The best part was arriving in sunny Hawaii !!!  

The worst part was the time it took to get there!  LOL!

Where is the farthest you have ever been away from home? Did you get homesick?

The farthest I've been away from MA has been Hawaii. 

It was last year to see U2 in Bonolulu in December.

Did I get homesick?  Hmm.  Let's see.  December in MA is cold and blustery; while Hawaii is warm and sultry!  Sooo...that's a NO to the homesick question!!   : )

Show us some photos and/or videos you took at a concert.

U2 in Hawaii last December!  I wish I was there RIGHT now!

Thanks to one of my U2 buddies I now have the entire U2 concert from Honolulu on my iPod !!  How cool is that??!!

It's a Beautiful Day!!!!

See the world in red white and blue..

Honolulu right in front of you..

See the sunset over Diamond Head..

Aloha Stadium a sea of red!!!!

Show us an unforgettable memory from 2006.  

Many great memories from 2006!  I have to say my two favorite memories are Rob deciding to fly again and travel to London with me this past October! We had so much fun! I just wish Joe would've gone too....maybe next time.... 

My other favorite memory has to be seeing U2 at Aloha Stadium on 12/9/06!  The combination of seeing my favorite band in a tropical location was AMAZING!!

I hope 2007 has some great memories too!

Ahhhhh, how time does fly.  Two weeks ago today I was in Honolulu, in the sun, enjoying a sun index, lunch at Dukes delivered to my lounge chair in the sun, and tropical drinks!!  I was thinking about what time I would have to leave the sun the next day to get ready for the U2 concert!!!

One week ago today I was in Kauai........relaxing having room service breakfast on my lanai, before getting ready to spend a day by the pool !!! 

Today is my fifth day back at work and it is COLD here!

Happy time of year though!  Christmas is almost here and everyone is in a GREAT mood!!!!

MELE KALIKIMAKA!!!!!  (Merry Christmas in Hawaiian!!)

 

 

These photos make me smile!  I was on the left hand side of the plane flying into Oahu and saw some beautiful sights!  They always ask you to turn off all electronic equipment for landing, but I managed to take a few photos out of the window!  LOVE my digital camera!! 

Flying from Boston (with the plane being de-iced) to Dallas Fort Worth and then DFW to Honolulu took about 12 hours.  It seemed to go by pretty quickly with my new iPod!  I used it ALOT this trip! 

After arriving at the airport, I was greeted with that lei you see in the second photo!  It smelled so good!  Went to get my luggage, that came out almost first.  I was taken to my shuttle driver who drove me and 4 other people into Waikiki.  He was showing us the sights and playing Christmas tunes the whole way!

I arrived at the Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach just as the sun set.  The check-in was fast and before I knew it I was in my room waiting for my luggage.  That's when this photo was taken of me!

Every day on Oahu and Kauai was BEAUTIFUL!!!  I couldn't have asked for better weather!  The sun gods were smiling on me!  The concert was at the Aloha Stadium....which is OUTDOORS...so 40,000 people were happy it didn't rain!!

ALOHA!!!!!

I spent all day in the sun before the concert. At about 5:30pm the bus came for me to take me to Aloha Stadium. The entire way to the stadium we listened to a radio station that was playing a U2 marathon. People from all over were on the bus. There was a happy vibe!!! The show was AWESOME!!! I had goosebumps through the entire show! It's hard to pick a favorite moment, because the whole thing was just so AMAZING!

My suitcase is packed and I'm ready to go!  It's alot easier to pack for Hawaii than it is for London!  LOL!!!

Tomorrow at this time I will be in the air on my way to paradise, and when I get there.....this will be my view when I arrive on Waikiki Beach!

ALOHA!!!!!!!!!!!
