Maui interrupted

So, I am currently in Maui for a conference. The protagonist in the story I was going to write just entered the room, so, so much for that. And now he is arguing with me about the function of dialing 1 before entering in the rest of a phone number. Why will this argument not end. I wonder whether he realizes that I am commenting about this right in front of him. His not being fluent in English must be helping me. Anyway, this is a picture of Lana Island I took today. More later.
