Aloha 'Oe Hawai'i

Finally, with the help of Tony, we were able to transfer photos from one reluctant computer to another. So now I can get caught up with our "goodbye" Hawaii photos and "hello" Germany photos. 

Aloha 'oe O'ahu

Hale'iwa Beach park at sunset (canoers paddled out to watch the sunset too)

Random rice paddy in the middle of Pearl City

We spent the last two months in Hawaii trying to do and see everything we wanted before having to say Aloha 'oe. It was a bitter-sweet experience. In the past three years we all fell in love with Hawaii and truly feel like we left our home and family.  We are so very blessed to have lived in Mililani Mauka!  We were warmly welcomed into the Mililani 4th Ward 'ohana.  The beauty of the island and the people will forever be a part of our souls.  Mahalo nui loa, aloha a hui hou!  With love 'til we meet again.

  3. I miss Hawaii very much and feel very blessed to have been able to take advantage of your hospitality twice while you lived there. I will always carry a piece of it in my heart and I have you to thank for that... Now on to Germany!
