TP Thursday: Aloha Hawaii ~

Hula Babe and Beach Boy (our noms de blog while in this Pacific Paradise) are saying a fond Aloha to the island of O’ahu on this Travel Photo Thursday . . .we are Pacific Northwest bound today~

For a month, I can say quite honestly, 'Life's been a Beach' for us. We've basked in the gifts of tranquil tropical days and nights that arrived wrapped in aloha spirit. It's been the kind of trip where we lived in the moment, not for the moment.  But as with all travel there comes a time when the moments become memories.  Some of our favorite moments turned memories are:

Walks on the beach. . .

    I love walks on the beach :) I had many of those in France last much - the difference is that it was much colder than Hawaii. Beautiful shots!

      There is something about a stroll on the beach that reminds you that travel is worth the ariport security and long flights . . .like a rainbow at the end of a dark cloud.

    You spent an entire month in Hawaii in the winter? Poor things! Thanks for the pix. ("Seattle weather" here in the SF Bay Area today).

      Well someone has to bite the bullet and keep the travel industry afloat. ..and from the tourism association reports there sounds like tourism has once again started an upward climb; unlike the past two years!

    Hawaii would be a lovely little escape right now. Would be fun to see your friend honu, too :)

    Love the photos, I'm planning a trip to Maui this Spring and these photos make me wish Spring would come sooner.

    Ayngelina, Since you are of the mindset that "Bacon is Magic" you really must try some Portugese Sausage and the ubiquitous "Spam" while you are in Maui. . .both provide some of life's best sinful eating pleasures.

We have been having problems in recent weeks with our comment section and I am not quite sure how to fix it. Thanks for letting us know. Some comments have been coming in as emails, so I will respond to those as I get them.
