The sun, the sand, the sound of waves crashing on the beach – huh?
I took a week+ off from blogging and fully enjoyed vacation in the tropics. I did the entire relax by the pool with SPF-30, read books, caught up on local Oahu news and ordered lots of refreshments with large slices of Pineapple!
One book I read that I wanted to mention was by John Wood. He released a memoir entitled Leaving Microsoft to Change the World. At the pinnacle of his career he departs Microsoft to start Room-to-Read and lays the groundwork for a long-term vision of world change. Great book and I admire his life-altering decision to leave the corporate world to create a non-profit.
The trip was not on a Harley. I worked real hard to avoid traffic and driving, yet with temperatures ranging between 78-81 degrees a “HOG” ride was on my mind. I toured the Island of Oahu with my “Island Girl” from the beaches of Waikiki, through the windy mountain roads and around the island to the North Shore…all in a rental car. Sure, I found a bit of paradise on Oahu and managed to take some pictures…my other hobby. Honolulu has grown leaps and bounds over the years, and today even more skyscrapers are filling the tropical island. The city itself is impeccable and a shopping mecca. It’s a special place and the people are friendly and its natural beauty and unique culture is what draws me back.
After all Oahu is famous for its miles and miles of white, sandy beaches, but one can’t help but think how every day is a Harley day in Hawaii.
