Some Quick Observations about Oahu

Rather than going into detail, I'm just giving little thoughts/observations I've had in the last few days on Oahu. If you want to know more, just ask!

  • Little sprinkles of rain that come out of nowhere, last for 5 to 10 minutes, and then disappear.
  • The reality of traffic on the H1 and in Waikiki
  • Seeing four or five rainbows in a day
  • The excitement of finding a gallon of milk that cost only $5 in the PX!
  • All the crazy and beautiful Hawaiian streetnames
  • The way everything looks like it could be a postcard
  • Being caucasian and being a minority
  • Hawaiian music everywhere: in the airport, in the shopping mall, in restaurants
  • The stunning beauty of the beaches and water and mountains
  • Ukeleles for sale in the grocery store
  • The value of a lanai
  • My willingness to be super-clean out of fear of the so-called B-52 Bomber flying cockroaches
  • Missing my friends and family
  • The way days seem to last for such a long time and don't just fly by in a rush
  • The serious intensity of the midday sunshine
  • The clarity of the sky
  • Fish!
  • Exploring it all with my sweetheart
