and asked if I wanted to join them for a week\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following day I went to Northwest and booked my flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I left for Oahu on 7\/27\/2002 and stayed until 8\/3\/2002.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During that week, Tom, Jess, Megan and I stayed in Makaha, then in Turtle Cove, finally ending up in Honolulu before heading back to our regular schedule of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since Jess didn&#8217;t get to do much for&nbsp;<strong><em>her<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;portion of this vacation (she has been taking care of Megan all week) while Tom and I played golf every day, we decided to give her a relaxing day and went shopping with her at the outlet stores&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the way home we noticed a strange sight &#8211; people stuffed behind a Jeep with no harness to protect them in the case of an accident&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
