It's hard to believe a summers gone by so fast. I feel like I was just getting lost in Waikiki, now I know it like the back of my hand. Not having cars, GPS or maps'll do that for you.
On the whole, I'm excited to go home. It's been a great summer, I've met some great people and had amaaaazing adventures, but home is calling.
Some Things I'll Miss
- Surfing after work
- Beaches everywhere
- Paddleboarding!!!
- Great Thai food. Mmmmm
- Cheap pineapples, mangos and lychees
- Yogurtland
- The Hippie Quad at UH where I get delicious veggie food for lunch
- The crazies on Waikiki... I've grown fond of listening to them yell at inanimate objects
- The street performers on Kalakaua every night - steel drum guy, the silver and gold human statues, creepy Elmo guy, the magician who shows up on weekends, the little girls that sing...
- Using Hawaiian words in normal language
- The mountains... and the epic views that come with them.
- Silly Japanese tourists. They're so funny, its adorable
- The amazing flowers/plants
- $3.50 Mai Tais
- Aloha shirts on Fridays
- SHAVE ICE
- Stella, my bright pink mountain bike
- The funny lizards that make noises
- Mongooses!!!!
- And last but not least all the amazing people I've met out here that have made my summer amazing.
Some Things I WON'T Miss....
- Relying on very late buses that don't believe in following schedules
- The giant roaches that live in my kitchen
- Paying $6 for a Bud Light and $9 for a box of cereal
- Taro and Spam
This isn't a totally complete list. There are more things I'll miss and more things I'll be glad to get rid of, but that's just the first things off the top of my head.
I'm headed back to the mainland tomorrow at 1pm Hawaii time. I'm getting home at 7am Sunday Florida time.
Mahalo to everyone that made this an amazing summer!
Aloha!
