yes all i needed was a strong dose of sun
we flew into honolulu bright and early sunday morning. oahu had been experiencing a two day downpour. poor babies!! but the sun had returned and the weather was perfection. we had a dim sum breakfast with friends in chinatown and then went over to check on our condo. except for some mild cleaning it's move in ready. it's small, the kitchen is dark, and i'll have to listen to people living above me again but it puts me within a healthy walk of waikiki. and i have missed waikiki. i had no idea how much until we revisited
being in waikiki is sort of like disneyland to a kid, there is perfect weather and excitement. we met up with my buddy Jessica who is now my bff X 2 and paraded around kuhio beach in bikinis. the water was cold to skin that has not formed that thin layer of i'm in the water every day blubber but it didnt take long to get used to it. as usual, and what i love about kuhio beach, is that the water was packed with tourists. on floaties, tubes, boards, just swimming. i dont know why i like the pool party atmosphere so much, certainly if i'm on a surfboard i would not feel the same way. but for swimming it can't be beat. the water was dirty from recent rain but i didnt care and neither did Jessica. she wore her high heels down into the beach sand..ultimate diva. her beach bag is GUESS. i love Jess , she's the perfect high glam surfer chick. we are both obnoxiously loud with laughter when we get together. we both love crowds and waikiki and since she lives about a block away from our condo, i believe we'll be spending a lot of time together. she runs a very successful esthetician business..if you need a facial or a wax, she's your gal
i got burnt. sunburnt. am still a bit sore but i needed a deep long infusion with the sun sooo badly. the entire island was colorful with perfect light, and large rainbows. we don't get too many rainbows on big island because our cloud cover is too thick. didnt surf, not enough time to fit it all in..but the waves were kona junk anyways. saw two friends who had not been down to the beach in months and just happened to pick the same morning i was there to visit. we made promises to 'hold waves' for each other in the coming weeks
honolulu never looked so pretty. all of the high rises and beautiful people. the movie screen on the beach is all ready for the free weekend movies.
had a phone interview with a nursing agency and pending my license, i'll get the job. part time, i call in when i want to. i might take the summer off and just enjoy the flawless surfing and high tourist traffic then work once fall rolls around. i'm envisioning spending a summer at the beach with Zachary, feeding the fish with him and taking him to all the fun places I wanted to show him. he REALLY liked riding the bus. i suppose i can work part time but will only work on the days TY works so that when he's off we can be together.
the priorities will be health and sunshine again..
nothing in gods sweet earth is better than surfing
