Aloha again from beautiful Hawaii!
So much has happened since I last blogged...maybe because it's been 3 days or so, but at least I'm back!
I had the job interview on Thursday with Max Studio and it went REALLY well. Turns out that the job was for an assistant manager that will move up to Store Manager in 3 months when the manager leaves. THIS WOULD BE VERY COOL. Me with my own clothing store...hmmmm...is anyone else scared? I know I am! I should know on Sunday or Monday. Cross fingers here...
Great Sushi here. I knew there would be, but I had to get Matt out of the McDonald's and his newest addiction, Jamba Juice, before I could find some. Yum and it's nice when your sushi chef is actually Japanese.
Matt and I went swimming at one of Waikiki's many beaches last night and not 10 feet away from us was a hugh sea turtle. He was just hanging out, having a snack at the beach. He was neat.
Matt took me around the island today. We went over to the North Shore (yes, where they film North Shore) and it was beautiful. The south side of the island - it is divided by mountains - is very commercial and busy. Almost like Orlando, with tourist areas and a small city. It's very spread out. But the north side is almost untouched.
We went to the ranch where they filmed part of Jurassic Park. Again, I repeat, JURASSIC PARK. I'm in awe. I live on the island where they filmed Jurassic Park? How cool is that? We're going to go back and take the two hour guided horse tour of the ranch and see the very log that Dr. Grant and the kids hid under in the scene with the "flock" of dinos and the t-rex. Cool.
We took Highway 3 (there are only 3 on this island) back to town through the mountains and WOW what a view. That's the side of the island EVERYONE should see. Waikiki has some great beaches and hotels, but it's NOTHING compared to the North Shore. I forgot the camera, but you know what, I LIVE HERE NOW! I can take pictures anytime. Glee.
Who's first to visit? Anyone? Rumor has it that Nick and Dharna will be first for Christmas. Can't we do better than that? It's not Milwakee, people.
Next up...
Need to learn to surf.
Get apartment (view dream apt. on the 26th of August - 20th floor with a dishwasher that isn't named Leslie - I'm in!)
Matt goes to Seattle on the 6th until the 16th and I haven't decided if I'm going.

You could always come back here while Matt is in Seattle...
Hey Manda, maybe I should just meet you in Hawaii instead of going down there in Sept. Just a thought. :)
So exactly how long does it take to get from one side of the island to the other? I'm geographically challenged.
I'm not THAT homesick yet...
Takes about 2 hours if you could drive straight, but, um, mountains. All the way AROUND the island is about 6 hours and totally worth the trip.
It's only a 13 hour flight from Tenn and FL! $612 ATA anytime.
