Let's GO [to] Waikiki

A  L  O  H  A !

 Let's start with the 

first thing visitors know:

Diamond Head, and the Beach itself.

But there's SO much more!

After almost 30 years living there,

I have seen a lot of change, a

lot of things that seem eternal,

and lots being missed!

Like the sea turtles feeding 
in shallow surf, in 
plain view to nearby

visitors who never 
notice them.

"There are no record 

companies in Waikiki."

           Bruno Mars

[Local fellow,

played "Little Elvis"

in shows at the hotels

as a boy when I was

driving my taxi back

in the day. . . .

. . . . . . in Waikiki. . . ]

"Hawaii is paradise. 

It sounds cheesy to say it, 

but there's music 

in the air there."

            Bruno Mars

 While the visitors 

watch the sunset,

I always watched them. 

They count their 

Hawaii sunsets. 

I always figured

that there were many 

many more coming my way.

But life makes other 

plans sometimes,

and even happy change 

can give as well

as take. I plan on 

watching & photographing

each sunset of my 

visit home to 
Honolulu this Winter.

I'm not EXACTLY a snowbird,

since I was local for decades, 

buried family in the islands 

and saw others born. 

I'm going to see my Ohana [Link]

which includes dear friends

who are more bruddahs and sistahs.

I will listen to the clouds & sky, 

commune with the land,

the `Aina [Link]
the Sea and

BE among the 

people of Hawaii.

And I will eat at

Zippy's.

Zip Min [Link] Barack Obama's

favorite growing up!

Just for few days.

And both flights

of the round trip

will be homeward bound.

MOST CURIOUS!

Dusk in Waikiki is 

ALWAYS MAGIC.
