Going Home
After that, we are free to hit the beach, go for a hike, drive up to the North Shore for lunch and a shave ice, or just plain goof off. I always love returning to Hawaii - it is my heart's home.
So, while we are gone, I have linked for you to some amazing Hawaiian music videos that I think you will enjoy. My friend Meredith, who is a kama'aina (native born) in Hawaii, sent them to me, so they have some true Hawaiian chops. Enjoy! Here's the first one:

Oh, don't you just love house-sitting in a special place? It's almost like living there for a short while. Enjoy, now off to hear your music.
Wow! That music video is exquisite. The language itself is so musical. I look forward to more. Have you lived in Hawaii?
Diane, yes, I have lived here from 1955-1958 as a child, and from 1965-1973 as a young adult, and returned frequently to visit family. I'm very emotional about Hawaii, love it so much.
Jeez, Zooms, I lived there 1955-1959! We must have overlapped at Pearl Harbor Kai School, but I guess we weren't in the same grades.
Cookie, maybe even in the same class! We lived in Makalapa - where were you? My Dad was a commander then. Fun to think we might have been friends!
We lived on Ford Island. Had to go to school by boat!
I guess my dad was a LTCDR then. His job was boss of the flight control tower. I think they called it Admin.
I also lived in Hawaii for a couple of years when I was much younger, and don't remember it. Then again for a year after I graduated from college.
My claim to fame was I got my tubes tied at Kapiolani Hospital when I was 23. Jeez.
I knew you weren't among the ragamuffins I ran around with, but maybe you were that pretty little blonde girl in my class...
Oh, and, there is a causeway to Ford Island now.
Hm. I *was* a pretty little blonde then! ;) Some old coot sang to me once, "Debby Debby, I've been thinking, what a pretty girl you are. All the boys on Ford Island think that you're a movie star."
I know about the bridge. It just ruins memories for me.
Cookie, I'm sure there is a story behind the Kapiolani Hoapital reference. Maybe some day I will hear it.
