ENJOY LIFE AT YOUR OWN PACE
My wife and I have lived at The Plaza Waikiki for four years now. We chose this community to be near live music and dining. We still have our car, but when we give that up, there’s still plenty of mobility with The Plaza bus excursions, shopping, and medical runs. There is also a lot within walking distance.
What I appreciate the most are the exercise and music activities. We take The Plaza bus over to Magic Island twice a week for a good walk. I’m getting enough exercise just running around and shopping, but when we start doing less of that, there are in-house exercise and stretching sessions both morning and afternoon to keep things moving.
We have Kanikapila (music) sessions Sunday afternoons which helps keep my ukulele skills from fading away. It’s a good time for singing, playing, and camaraderie. I’m also teaching a few other Residents’ fingerstyle Ukulele and working with our group to present for May Day and Christmas programs.
Another thing, I’ve been doing is helping with some political campaigns. I was a data jockey in my work-a-day years. There’s plenty of that to do in politics, and it doesn’t require a lot of running around in these COVID times. We’re also not far from UH Manoa and luckily seniors get to audit classes free! I’ve taken 3 semesters of music theory before and during COVID.
All in all, I’m a pretty happy camper.
