Aloha from paradise |
Hi, everybody! Well, I made it to Hawaii. My first weekend was long
but I had a lot of fun. Georgette, one of mom's best friends and the person who introduced Mom to Dad,
picked me up Saturday afternoon for a cookout. Sunday, she gave me a
whirlwind tour of Oahu.
For those of you who don't know, this was also my Dad's first assignment. He, too,
had requested Korea and, just like me, he got Hawaii. On Saturday,
March 8, I will be surfing with Georgette'e niece. Sweet!

My island tour on Sunday
Note the "pleated" mountains in the background. Hawaii's mountains are different from what is on the mainland. |

Georgette and her granddaughter, Jerian
Georgette and Jerian did a great job of showing me around. |

Georgette and Me
Georgette's a little shorter than I am (4'10" vs 6'5") |

Me on the North Shore
Mom says I need to get rid of the black t-shirts and buy some Hawaiian shirts. |

Jerian and Me
Shave ice is "ono" (good). |

Matsumoto store
This is the best place in Hawaii for shave ice. They invented it. It's located in Haleiwa where Georgette grew up. |

Nice ocean!
Can't wait to try surfing. |

Jerian again
Think this was taken at Pupukea. You gotta love these Hawaiian names! Mom says she has another friend who grew up near here. |

Sunny Hawaii
Okay, so I need some sunglasses in addition to a Hawaiian shirt! |

Chow time
Had a day full of sightseeing and eating. Georgette really took good care of me. |

Georgette loves to take pictures. You don't know generosity and hospitality until you've known Georgette. |

Beautiful blue ocean with "those two" again
Wait til this weekend when I'm ssupposed to learn how to surf with Georgette's niece. |
