After a brief 3 month holiday 😉 through Central America and the USA I found myself in Oahu briefly and heading home. With its mix of cultures, nature, sunsets and “advanced shirt making tutorials” need to head back one day and do more exploring.
Places I Love – Oahu Hawaii
Endless Roaming 
O’ahu is like an island for the price of two. On one side Honolulu, with its grand hotels, skyscrapers and clean suburbs, the exact replica of the mainland. But on the other side of the volcano, it’s a green island with rocky coasts, small houses made of wood and tin, with fighting rooster rings.

I did a drive around the island, to very different coast line’s. Hope to explore all of it one day

A “brief 3 month holiday” is an oxymoron haha. To me, three months is an adventure! Never been to Hawaii, but I’m fascinated with the state’s distinctive culture vastly different from the continental US, as it has a heavy Japanese/Pacific Islander identity that encompasses much of the islands’ culture. Perhaps one day I’ll go and see for myself!

I chuckled at “brief 3 month holiday,” too. My first time in Hawaii, I helped weed taro plants, which was its own adventure.

Took me a couple of years to save up the annual leave time. Hope to get back there and explore all the island

Lol maybe not that brief, took me a few years of work to save up the annual leave for that particular trip, was also good to have a job to go back to. I want to see more of Hawaii, the other islands as well

I can’t wait to return to Oahu. I celebrated my 60th birthday there. I do wish they’s retained the original spelling though: Wahoo!

I hope to get back there sooner rather than later and explore the other islands as well

When you go back, hopefully you’ll have time to visit a couple other islands. Each has its own personality

Wonderful waterfalls, beautiful flowers, volcano, interesting animals (wild pigs on one of the islands) and great restaurants and night life in Honolulu. Beautiful beaches, surfing and golf courses, if you are into that kind of thing. Indigenous crafts and art. I have been twice–once to Honolulu (stayed at a beach hoes) and once on a cruise.

I lived on Oahu for 11 years (military). I loved it.
This past year, there was no way to return with all the restrictions. Sad.

Me either. Far away from Hawaii, and our world has changed. I am so sad.
