Things We Love and Don't Love About Hawaii

Things we Love:

Being lulled to sleep by ocean breakers on the beach

Walking/Running on sandy beach barefoot at sunrise

Constant gentle breeze

Soft clean air

Sandy beaches 

Wrinkles and itches go away

POG (Passion, Orange, Guava juice)

Diverse Culture and Races

Barefoot--especially on beaches

Flip flops are sufficient

Kite surfers

Paddle surfers

Surfers

Smooth elbows

Contacts are sooo easy to wear

Bird speak

Norfolk Pines tall tall tall

Pickup trucks with surf boards in bed

Soft water

Barely warm showers

No lotion necessary

Fresh water outdoor showers at all beaches

Living in the breath of God (storm mists)

Clothes don't need ironing

Kind, friendly, strong people

Ocean buoyancy

Deep breath is welcome to our lungs

Hawaiian Renaissance (old style) music

Golden light on sunset clouds

Visibility--layers of clouds

Polynesian singing

Things we don't love about Hawaii:

Knee and chin scrapes on coral

Legs look like bruised peaches

We aren't mistaken for strong young surfers
