Great Expectations Hawaiian Style
The following is a guest post by Jim Turner, Social Media Director for Blog World Expo and Founder of One By One Media.
I was not sure what to expect when I got off the plane. Only that it was an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Well all that and more hit me as I went outside to walk a short distance for my bags. 84 degrees and BEAUTIFUL. A short ride to the Royal Hawaiian hotel and I was greeted by a friendly staff with a lei and a shot of punch and ice cold towel. My first question of course was “Wifi?” Free here in the lobby was their response. I wanted to drop everything and record the experience but headed back to my room for a quick check on the Nuggets and Lakers score. Hey, I am a homer through ad through and I have to get the score since I’ll be joining some people tonight from Laker-land.
I am going to check the livestream situation soon and hopefully get everyone up and running on that. In any event, I will get the flip cam at the ready and plenty of pics. I already took a few from my limo ride (snicker…yeah I know). My latest addiction however is slowly taking hold. My new best friends Neenz Faleafine and Melanie Kosaka (or new dealers perhaps) from here locally have me hooked on a new type of drug…I call it Cracadamia nuts.
My expectations so far?…hold on while I eat another handful.
