TreeStandBowHunter Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Well not permanently, not until June at least, lol...but I did make it too Hawaii for this conference. I left Japan yesterday. I was sitting in the ANA lounge yesterday up in Tokyo waiting to fly out and they had a 6.6 earthquake, I can't win with these earthquakes can I, they seem to follow me every where I go, lol? But the Hawaiian life is still the same, Waikiki hasn't changed, lol. Anyway, this is the first I have stepped foot back on American soil in over two years so it feels pretty good. It was hard trying to adapt to driving on the "right" side of the road again but I managed, lol. There were a few times that I wanted to turn on my turn signal and I ended up turning on the windshield wipers instead, lol. You know what's funny though, the language barrier is still there because most of the people here are Japanese, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Good deal Gunny. Thanks for the PM. I'll have to do some research if and when we ever decide to visit the north shore again. I never played golf there, but the actual resort was nice, and the scenery is the best on the island IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh by far; the North Shore is definitely nicer and less congested than other places on Oahu. I think the management at the golf course is different than the resort itself, hopefully anyway, lol. I never got to experience the resort itself except from what I see on the course but I would rather this conference take place up there than down here with all the crazy people. Waikiki is as bad as Harlem, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhunter91 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Was just thinking about you the other day. My closest buddy joined the Marines and leaves for boot camp at Paris Island on April 19th. We were talking about how he can be deployed anywhere. Welcome home. Now go whack a chipmunk!

TreeStandBowHunter Posted March 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 No kidding, I was walking the streets of Waikiki this afternoon and there was an "obvious" homeless person holding a cardboard sign up that said "Support my alcohol research program" and he had a little can there to collect the money in, lol. I thought that was awesome. I seen that somewhere before but I forget where. Hey, at least he is honest about it, lol. Some hold up a sign for food but know that they are going to buy alcohol with the money they get, lol. This guy must have at least graduated lunch in high school if he is letting people know about his "obvious" alcohol problem that he wants the tourists to support. He smart, lol.
