Visiting Hawaii Again

The reason I went to Hawaii for the second time was mostly for visiting my friend Hannah. I had only ten days for vacation. It was not enough time for real travel, anyway. So I decided to go to Hawaii for five days and other five for Fit Resort Club in the Fuji Mountain to enjoy being rich.

Oh, annoying Hawaii. The weather was always so perfect. Hannah said that it was so ideal that it made her bored. “Oh, come on. What are you talking about? Do you know how many people are saving money for this paradise?” I laughed.

Yes. A paradise like this should fit all the criteria: white sandy beaches, blue clear skies, and forever bright sunshine, but with some breezes blowing and floating in the air. Cool and comfortable!

More important than that, there was a rainbow hanging up in the sky all the time. Or two, or three……

Although I was going there to visit my friend, I only stayed in her place for two nights. I booked three other nights in a hotel. And the view was quite nice. At the swimming pool of the hotel, I met an elder American lady and heard a touching story. And the narrative has been sitting in my computer for years and hasn't been published. I guess I just haven't figured out how I could put the words together to present the true love behind it.

Since being in such a special spot, of course I had to go to the Pearl Harbor again, and once more, mourned for the soldiers who were buried in the sea with their mother ship.

I also bought what most tourists would buy, the souvenir newspapers of the next day Pearl Harbor was attacked. (Please forgive my amateurism. I only have one inexpensive scanner that can only take the size not more than A 4. Here goes the whole headline: War! Oahu Bombed by Japanese Planes.)

Well, Hawaii was not famous for its sorrow. Let’s change the mood. Waikiki was really……

Alas, crowded and packed. Forget it!

Good thing Hannah rented snorkeling equipment for me. So this trip finally was pretty rewarding. The first time I went to Hawaii was with my roommates from university, so basically all the attractions I visited this time was nothing new but the snorkeling part. As for snorkeling, it was the highlight of the whole trip. Too bad I did not bring my camera because I had to get down to the ocean and had no idea about something called blog back then. So the wonderful memories were all in my mind. Besides, the undersea world was so breathtaking and spectacular that there was nothing my camera could have done, anyway.

The five days in Hawaii was relaxing and fun. I went there and here and waited for Hannah to finish her work so that I would tell her what I had done that day. Then, I flew to Tokyo, Japan to be one of the rich people. And of course, that was another story.
