First thoughts of Hawaii




Well, from the moment we stepped off of the plane it has been beautiful of course. The weather is constantly comfortable. Since it is wet season though we see a few light showers throughout the day. I heard the jelly fish were bad on the south shores right now and the waves are too strong on the north shores. The waves are supposed to get 40 ft in January. Thats when all the surf competitions are held I suppose.


The ride to Schofield Barracks from the airport was about 25 minutes. The traffic was the worst I've ever seen but the driver said it was a lot better than normal. The hotel on base is nice. There is a banana tree outside the door, birds of paradise along with other beautiful flowers EVERYWHERE, and everything is in walking distance. Thanks goodness too. I have walked more here than I have in a long time and I don't even mind it. Tyler and I always argued on where we were going to move when we retired and the kid(s) moved out. I want the mountains and he wants the beach. Somehow we lucked out on this one. We got both. Loving it so far!!


Ryder is doing fine. Loving the walks. He is adjusting to the time difference really well so far!
