I lived on Oahu for two years, before we had to move back for medical reasons.

Yes, it is really expensive to live there. Yes, it's not for everyone. Yes, the culture there is completely different than any other place I've been in the US.

But would I move back there? YES. In a heartbeat.

Thanks for allowing me to reminisce...

I've just returned from four days in Hawaii. I can tell you this; I need to take longer vacations. The warm sun wins over the humidity any day. The blue waters consume my mind as I return home to Portland Oregon and freezing temperatures. One other thing, SCUBA diving isn't as easy as it looks. I tried or, I FREAKED out. My friend who owns Reef Pirates Diving on Oahu is as patient as a paternal parent and I still couldn't get below 10 feet of water. Oh well, better luck next time.

Before I left I thought I would update you on women bloggers in Hawaii. Where are the Hawaiian bloggers? Here are a couple of Hawaiian bloggers I found that need to be added to our blogrolls. Please email me with more Hawaiian bloggers or invite them yourself to join the blog rolls.

Hawaii Stories hosts a blog where I found Kane at Esoteric Bowl, she has a list of prices of basic needs. Really, you wouldn't beleive it.

Another Hawaiian blogger is Champuru. She has a great blog that is well written and, she has a photo album for you to view. If you need a little dose of island life, I suggest you bookmark her immediately.
