North Shore of Oahu is where the surfers go - not the weekend amateurs, but the pros. The surf is high and the water is dangerous. But non-surf people (like me) are attracted to it anyway. In fact, we kind of got turned off by the crowds and constant "tourist vibe" of Oahu. So we headed back to the hotel, enjoying the parts of Oahu that are green and rainy (and mostly owned by cattle ranchers or the U.S. military).
At North Shore, it's hard to watch the big swells without starting to hum the "Hawaii Five-O" theme song.
Once back at the hotel, we enjoyed a final night of decadent food before the long plane ride home.
The plane ride was uneventful, and we stumbled into the house at about midnight. It's our first day back, and we're pretty wiped out. We'll spend the next couple of days trying to get days and nights sorted out, and maybe go through our photos again, and maybe even post a few more. I know there's a picture of me trying to play the didgeridoo lurking about somewhere...
There are SEVERAL pictures of you trying to play a digeridoo... and that's the tip of the iceberg!
ReplyDeleteMe, I still look like a movie monster makeup effects artist just had an accident over my entire upper body. No photos please.
Hope you guys escaped the great Chicken Pox monster - it's hit full force here. It's the kind of gift we're duty bound the share. :-) Scabs? Anyone? ANY ONE?!
ReplyDeleteNow aren't you glad you had the pox (or was that the one pox) when you were a kid, Greg? Great photo of Melissa drinking (again). And super good photo of the North Shore. I didn't know if you would be posting more pics so am late seeing these. Glad you had a good plane ride home.
