Aloha














Aloha Everyone!
It's been an interesting year since I moved back home. I'm still adjusting and missing all of you. I guess that's life or even afterlife...you can't have all of the people you love at one place haha :). Anyhow, my first vacation in about a year! It was fun. I think I will move to Hawaii when I retire and be a bum. Life seems very slow pace and relaxing. The people don't really care what you do or grow in your backyard ;). People eat quite a bit of rice...so, that's good.
I did have a good time here. The sights were beautiful! I tried new foods as well. Tasted poi, mountain apples, kalua pig, spam/Portugese sausage w/ rice (for breakfast), and fried eggs in just about everything!
I did my best to sort out and edit the pictures I took during the trip. I hope you like them!!
Love,
Thao

Aloha




I thought I packed everything needed, including small toothbrushes for after meals. But, I forgot the "real" ones :). So, for a day or two we had to use these small ones to brush aheeahieheih.

Taro ice cream with coconut flavored shave ice....Yum!!!

Lots of dolphins!







Finally!! With the new camera, I was able to capture more than just pictures of fins :).

By the banyan tree...Ali'i Drive


Pu'uhonua O Honaunau (Place of Refuge)


The color of the ocean was so beautiful....so many shades of blue (my favorite color).
