I used to be stationed at Kaneohe and remember driving back from Honolulu at 2am and seeing people walking their dogs with parkas on.  I had the windows down and thought the 65 degree weather felt good.

We are cooooolllld up here in Mililani/Waipio Gentry as well!  lol!   Hey...for us it is! 

See you at the AR Gathering!

That is a great picture and I'd love to be able to see it in person.  I did get to HI about 20 years ago and loved the mornings!  Right now.... it's about 20 degrees outside here.... 65 is balmy!!!

Chris, If you were stationed at Kaneohe, you know well where our office is.  We are in the Aikahi Shopping Center right next to Safeway.  That observation made, I remember when 65 was balmy to me, but living here awhile one's blood gets thin.  65 now is downright cold.   Jerry

Sally, you and Randy have really stimulated a lot of interest in the Active Rain gathering.   What a tremendous service for all of the Active Rain Community.  Don't freeze to death before the 28th!!!!   Jerry

Martin, Don't let anything but fear stop you from coming back and seeing it again.  Why don't you sign up for the Active Rain Sally and Randy are sponsoring on January 28 in conjunction with the Sellebration?   How else can you get a tax deductible trip to Hawaii?  

We had to bring out the quilts.  65 degrees, I was watching for snow.  LOL

OK, I know I am bugging those folks in colder regions.  Aloha from Sunny Hawaii.

Randy,  Glad it isn't just me!  Brrrrrrr!    And while I am at it, thanks to you and Sally for your wonderful effort to get the AR get to gether organized.   See you there.  

haha... You're cold at 65?!?  Oh, come on.  Come see us, we'll show you cold. :)

You are describing Paradise while living in Paradise!

Welcome to Active Rain. Glad Randy invited you..

Jesse and Kathy,  Nope, 65 is cold enough for me.   Any colder and my tush might fall off! 

Margaret, Thanks for your hearty welcome.  I am having quite fun with AR.   Keep smiling and come on over to Paradise.  It's a great place, although the flowers in spring in Maryland are really something to behold as well.   Jerry

Oh I would love to.... man would I love to go to Hawaii right now.

Gee Whiz Martin, Just put in on your things to do list.   Would love to meet you!   Plane fare on Hawaiian Airlines is not so bad.  

OK.... I'm at the airport and there's no one here to pick me up!!! I'm going home.

Martin, Just grab a mai tai!  I'll be there wiki-wiki with a lei.   By the way, which airline are you on?   Jerry

Kai Lani:

What a beautiful picture. We love the islands. Save us a good spot for retirement. Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting. How about this summer, have an extra room for rent. Ha.

Hi Alan,  You got it!   Just send a few bucks and we will buy a place for you and in ten years it will be worth millions.   In the mean time, just let me know and the room will be ready.   Jerry

Man I was in Kailua in August and my wife and I loved it!  We spent  a week on Kauai and then a week on Oahu.  Kailua was our favorite little hang out.  Great kayaking, great people and great coffee!

Jason, Think you might have the wrong Kailua in mind?   We are in Kailua on Oahu.   Seems as though you might have been in Kailua Kona although it's hard to tell as we too have great people, great kayaking and great coffee!   Nevertheless, I appreciate you taking the chance to reminisce about Hawaii.   Jerry

I was referring to Kailua Oahu!  We spent a great day kayaking on K Bay and even spent the last hours of our stay watching the sunset at Kailua park. 

Jason,  The next time you come, let me know and we can chat over a cup of Kona Coffee.   Jerry

Kailua, no ka oi!

Yvonne,  Now I am intimidated!   But you are surely correct, Kailua is indeed no ka oi!   Jerry
