Oh,
I'm definitly an island kinda guy....and dont listen to a lot of the criticism I hear...actually I find it surprising.
I'm an air force brat....and my family spent two tours at Hickam...(yeah I know...real tough!)
So yeah, I was there when I was really young, 0-5 ish (mokulele), but then also again from 7th-11thish grade. (aliamanu and radford).
It sucked moving away my senior year, all those years ago to tx. You never really know what you have, till it's gone. I was fortunate enough to be able to stay back on oahu last summer for 3 months (rent free), and bring my girlfriend....epic summer.! Really hit how i missed it.
I joke with my dad back here in tx that I need to get established back over there, so when he's old i can roll him out on the beach, douse him with Sunblock everynow and again. . . bring him a drink. He's a beach bum at heart too.
I cant wait. I never got island fever....ever. I think its folks that dont go out and do stuff that get it...I mean, I got certified to dive...windsurf, sailing (holder 14/cal 20) i'm sure I'm rusty, but cant wait to get back.
The danger is to piss away this opportunity by having all kinda fun...and not find a decent wage. We'll see how it goes.
Hopefully, the good times will continue...
I remember my dad had this album....found a track on the net. I bet you all will get a kick out of it...check it out. (notice i said you all and not y'all? i'm not all texas yet!)
