20 Miles in Two Hours


I love my little camera. LOL shes not high end but i carry her everywhere with me.





The housing that holds the camera needed new O rings, those are the rubber pieces that keep the water out of her. I had to go to Honolulu for those.


Honolulu is only 20- 25 miles away. IT TOOK ME 2 HOURS to go those miles.. ONE WAY!





Seriously, our inability to work together to solve Oahus traffic problem,to work out a solution for the good of all of us is simply.......






DISGUSTING.

The first time Eric took me on the freeway I laughed... The speed limit is what got me... Over here its 65.. and some parts higher... I told him u guys have more of a highway... also u need more lanes and another freeway... U and I know the problem is the population and the need of the builders to keep building and killing off those gorgeous hillsides.
Remember when that army crane hit the overpass last year or so? E. was stuck in that traffic and called me since he had a lot of time to kill!. lol

When I was in Oahu, the one thing that struck me was the traffic...! Who knew...!

But, what a lovely place to live. My goodness!

That is bad, really bad. I always imagine your islands as quiet and peaceful and serene, never even giving traffic a thought, less so traffic problems.

Returning Home

Image
It is time for me to return to the North Shore full time. It is at Waimea Bay on the North Shore of Oahu, that I sit and wait for the tell tale ripples of water that signal the DOLPINS have arrived! The water calming down from the massive winter waves that just a few weeks ago pounded this side of the island, i return to her shores full time with glee! I will be subjected to the teasing of the regulars at the Bay who jokingly say, "Wheres the dolphins, Lani?" I always say in my mind, "There are far worse places I would need to wait!" LOLOL. This weekend the Bay gave a sneak performance of how magnificent her waters will be! Clear beautiful water, clean beautiful sand, the sun creating stain glass window like patterns on the sandy sea floor. And if that isn't enough the days of spring and summer on the North shore of Oahu, end with sunsets that are just magic!
