Scott I’m trying to decide if you’re being nice or setting me up for shark bait. I like the snorkeling idea. I hope for some R&R on the beach but Jenny ain’t much for sitting around. She’ll have us on the go. |
Nah, I ain't joshin you Thad. You'll be in pretty shallow water, probably less them 10'. You open that bag of veggies and you'll b in an aquarium full of colorful fish. It's a blast. Wife and I had to make multiple runs to the store to resupply. JohnCo certainly right about renting equipment but I take my own so I can come and go as I want without being bothered with the rental. Now, I am surprised no one has suggested you try eating the Poi at one of those Luau's.....looks like applesauce and tastes like biscuits and gravy!

Shameless I never kept one single pic of that job. I have to take some for progress reports but once they’re seen I delete them so as not to remember that place. I’m sure Jenn will take lots of how are he pics. I’ll see if she will post some when we get home.

If you think your stomach can handle it take the helicopter ride over the island it's super nice and you see parts you can't see other wise. Above all relax and enjoy

Not saying you are wrong,  but I think he is done. Before Gavy leaves I will probably think he was not so bad.  I keep thinking how much dummer can they get, .........................better to not go there they never fall short  .

Thad ole buddy, I haven't been on Oahu since 71. It was expensive then, so I would imagine it's even more now.
Get off the main island and you'll enjoy yourselves immensely! Don't worry about that Dramamine either, you won't need it. The seas around Hawaii are pretty much calm all the time. Enjoy yourselves!!
nnnnn,,,,,,,,,stay away from the football stadium.

I seen how calm the water is around How are ye when they used to have that five O TV show. What’s wrong with the stadium? They winners or something???😆

Dang,,!!!! all this talk bout Hawaii makes a guy think bout makin a trip like that but,,,,but,,,with MY take on the ocean bein SOOoooooo deep,,,They'd have to move them islands lots more closer to the mainland where you could walk across from Long Beach pier,,,and if they can't,,,,,,,then I ain't going,,,!!!! (can't swim worth a chit, I can't) ,,,,,

I think sharks go for red meat, shouldn't be too interested in fruit and veggies. It's not worth hauling the snorkeling gear all the way there and back, just rent them for the day or longer. My favorite place is Kauai, the garden island.
Oh, and Congratulations on finishing the job. The Buffalo Springfield wouldn't be bad, not so much the weed.

I agree on the Buffalo Springfield. They had a little Bose radio that isn’t 3” tall and 6” long that sounded amazing. It would of fit nicely in my tool belt. Lol

I went with my wife to the islands, toured some, rode the interstate , went to Pearl Harbor, WWII Memorials, a tour around the island. She had meetings to go to so one morning I hiked up Diamond Head, interesting. I want to go back to see some things again, also the other islands. The WWII memorials make you think about what was happening!

It used to be that in Honolulu you could go to the old Pro Bowl Stadium on Wednesdays and attend the weekly swap meet and buy all your Hawaii souvenirs dirt cheap.

When we went it was longer going than coming home because we had a tail wind, we flew from Atlanta all the way no stop, talk about flat but. There is a zoo and aquarium also that was nice to see, just relax and enjoy.

What a difference. Yesterday we were in a warm house full of wacky weed smoke with Buffalo Springfield on the stereo and today I’m on the wrong end of a jack hammer in a dirty factory and I’m happier today.👍

We stayed on Maui and flew to Honolulu. We took a whale watching tour and it was quite informative. I could spot the whales from quite a distance. Captain complimented me on my eyesight said I would make a good sailor. I told him I make a better Farmer as spotting things from a distance comes from looking across big open fields! Also picking up movement from hunting Deer! The weather is paradise! If it rains in the morning,dry by afternoon. 80 degrees year around. And on Maui no humidity as the trade winds blowing it away. I would move there in a heartbeat but too far away and too expensive!

The control tower and museum hanger are historic sites. They have to leave the bullet holes there. Look around outside there are chunks out of the concrete from bullets too.

Good to hear on the job. Earned your stripes this year fo sho!  Enjoy your trip, you earned it, and it should be a great time with the Mrs. Hopefully your whale watching cruise is more productive than the one we tried off CA. Nice boat ride, lots of sea lions, some dolphins, but no whales.
