there's no place like home
i really need to put together that 'guide to living in hawaii' ..the truth about living on an island. the perks like waking up to find a roach under your dishes, suffering island fever, dealing with traffic, wondering if the rest of the world really does exist :) ya know, minor things
life is timeless in waikiki. what is one week to a tourist is another moment to a resident. locals who gather in the water first thing in the morning share a secret smile. we made it thru the gates, we are settled, we have reached the destination. we no longer have to sit and dream of a paradise island, we live it every day.
every time i leave the island i feel a bit of pull on the heart. every time i return and the plane circles over the blue-green reef, i breathe in bright fragrant flowered air again and smile.
