originally shared as an e-mail to a circle of Mim devotees -
Wynne Pitcairn decided she wanted to go on one grand tootle before her
wedding to Rick Hill, so she & Mim headed west - first to San
Francisco (will always remember Mim's description of having hot cocoa in
their room - the sheer elegance of the room service at The Mark
Hopkins), then to Hawaii for leisurely island hopping.
After about a week, Wynne found herself increasing homesick for her O
Best Beloved & decided to head home - leaving Mim on her own on the
Big Island by herself & with a car. As much as Mim missed Wynne,
she was blissed at having her traveling whims completely underwritten
AND the pleasure of being able to go wherever she wanted without having
to worry about another being bored.
When she finally turned in the rental car before heading back to Oahu
& her flight home, the guy who checked her back in looked at the
odometer - then looked at it again, and again. Turning to Mim, he said,
"Lady, I don't know where you went with this car, but there aren't that
many miles on this island!" He didn't know my sister & her LOVE of
driving!
