Be careful what you wish for...
True story...late 1950s...
My dad bought a Martin Denny album. I heard "Quiet Village" and by the end of the song I was ready to move to Hawaii! I was at most 15 years old and had hardly been out of California!
Early 1960, at age 16, I visited Hawaii for the first time. I got off the plane and told my dad that, someday, I was going to live in a little grass shack on the beach in Hawaii. He did a major eye roll.
Mid 1978, I moved to Hawaii.
Mid '80s I bought a little condo on the beach in Makaha...which is where I moved in 1992.
Next year I'll remodel and redecorate. Think La Mariana Sailing Club meets Kona Village Resort. After 45+ years, I'll have my little grass shack on the beach in Hawaii...and with no pre-planning; just one sentence uttered in 1960.
