Over The Rainbow in Waikiki

A  L  O  H  A !

"Don't leave Hawaii.

You can never come back."

That's what the 

local people say.

The lure of owning a home, 

of better wages, the heat. . . . 

It all tempts Hawaii residents

to go California, or 

Vegas, or Seattle.

But once you are there ,

Hawaii calls 

in a million and one ways. 

The warmth of her people, 

the technicolor skies and 

mountains,not to mention 

Hawaii's food and music!

All have a way of calling 

in your dreams

like a siren song.

I heard that song for almost 

four years in California.

And coming back ISN'T easy!

But today I write to you 

from my Waikiki

of almost 30 years. 

Home Again.

Brother IZ Surfboard

I will never leave my friends, 
family and islands again.
Welcome back!
We are in Waikiki together once again.
Truly. Somewhere over the rainbow.

Mahalo for your visit. 
You are MOST welcome here!
