Well, the boys have now joined me on Oahu. (That is probably why I am unable to post to this blog--they are wearing me out!) In just these few short days we have gone swimming under a waterfall at Waimea State Park, visited a wind tunnel up in the mountains, gone snorkeling off a boat, eaten (and regretted eating) at a Chinese truck on the side of the road on the North Shore, done the Dole Plantation Maze (with the customary pineapple whip at the end), and clambered aboard the Missouri to see where Douglas MacArthur and the Japanese signed the surrender papers after World War II.
Oahu is so beautiful. The mountains just seem to rise up out of the sea like hulking green dragons. It's hard to imagine anyone ever wanting to leave. Although, the traffic is terrible island-wide so maybe one would wish to move to one of the other islands.
We are dealing with the difficulties of having so much luggage in such a small room. And, we are all wearing dirty clothes as there is no laundromat on site. We will have to do laundry soon, though. Sid has worn his underwear for days (which is better than Sam who decided that since we only have dirty clothes he is not going to bother with bathing at all--other than swimming in the ocean and pool!). Even though Hawaii is fairly cool and breezy, people need to bathe and do laundry!
