Yessiree. No "grind of every day life" here at all.
I don't know where people get these ridiculous fantasies.

Re: Second Stop: Eternal Sunshine
Eternal sunshine....maybe More than usual sunshine.....Good thing you missed the 40days 40nights of rain! Other than that Awkward period of time, Hawaii is one of the greatest places to live!! E komo mai.
* tips *
1) When you start driving down a highway called H-1 and the people start getting darker and darker and see a sign that says "Waianae"....TURN AROUND!
2) Please use your blinker (turning signal) when making turns, and if someone waves~this means they're letting you turn first...& remember to wave back as a "thanks".
3) Please don't try to blend in too quickly ~ by buying the aloha attire, shades and a visor....bring who you are and let the islands blend in slowly ~ you'll be surprised with what kind of characters these islands create.
4) And PLEEEEEZ Do Not, do Not purchase a home, stay for couple months then sell it for an obscene amount and raise everyones LAND TAX.
Stick to some of these tips and you'll do just fine, and if I think of anymore I'll be sure to let you know...nice meeting you, take care
A Hui Hou, (until we meet again)

Uh-huh.
Like, oh, you know, those 43 straight days of rain that we had just six months ago.
Uh-huh.
And FYI, the wettest place (highest annual rainfall) on planet earth is in, you know... Hawai`i.

I'm not trying to be mean to ya, Wanderlust06. I'm just trying to point out some facts that perhaps have escaped your attention, that's all.Last edited by LikaNui; September 14, 2006, 02:07 PM..

Whoa, it was suppose to be funny ~ that was something I heard on Augie T's comedy Hour...maybe doesn't have the same effect when I say it...
I've lived in Kailua Oahu my whole life ~ and I visited Waianae, Nanakuli, Makaha for the first time, when I was 20...20 geez, I've been to Tahiti 4 times, Japan, Mainland, Samoa, Australia by the time I turned 19, benn to all these places BEFORE I ever seen Waianae with my own 2 eyes....not cuz there was something wrong with it...My papa *ol hawaiian man" said,"its the same view but just from a different spot" So was never interested in going......then at 20 met the HuBby, family from Nanakuli..Oh my word! first experience there...man gets murdered at park.* memba that couple years ago, geez laaweez, I was there!,well not there there, but at the same park same time" Never been back since.
But I'm sure its a lovely place...sigpic
