Aloha Sandy,
I bet if you were asked, you could share some really neat things about where you live. I lived in San Diego for 20 years before moving here and boy what I could tell you about that one time Camelot by the sea would make you want to move there! But, after a hugely successful campaign to promote San Diego they came, they conquered, we moved! It has its beauty and of course the San Diego Zoo!! and Wild Animal Park!!!
I understand what you mean about missing here. The last four years we lived in San Diego were physically only. My mind and emotion were here. We came over ever 3 day week end off we had .. every vacation...it was as if we'd been called to move here. Though some days here can be ho hum, mostly because I get to busy, each day is really hugely different if in no other way, just studying the weather patterns; or, if no clouds, the night skies, [wait till you get to see a full blown moon bow, if you haven't already], the quiet, even after nearly 20 years of living here, I still totally love the quiet. The most fun thing for me is when I get a hankering for the big city I just have to fly over to Oahu and drive around over there for awhile and I am good to come back home. I do love my trips to Long Beach to visit my kids all the variety in eateries and because it is basically where I grew up [not LB but LA Area] it is still sort of home so that 'coming home' feeling still grabs my heart for like 10 seconds! Hope the time between now and the next time you come over is shorter in your mind and heart if not in reality. Ever want a little update on Hawaii...feel free to ask someone here to share it.
So, what are the great things about where you live?
A hui hou...
