Ryan,
I just read your bio here. Seems like we might have some things in common other than 1UZ's. Like, Lima Lama and I went to Mckinley High on Oahu.
Andrew, that is cool to know...Yeah, Hawaii is the best in my book. My wife is from Lima, Peru. I have been on top of Machu Picchu, and to Cusco. The Nazca Lines were awesome...Going back to climb Machu Picchu next year...
I was raised in Hawaii, and went to Kaimuki, been to all major islands, and loved them all. The beauty, spirituality, people, majestic landscape and cuisine in Hawaii are awesome. I used to climb up the inside of Diamond Head, walk along the crater rim, and suntan on top of the old gun turrets on the rim. I visited and swam in many of the waterfalls, saw the sun rise while on top of Mt Haleakala, survived the road to Hana drive several times, stood on the edge of the cliffs of Waimea Canyon in Kauai, viewed the Kalalau valley in all it's splendor, Surfed the big waves of Waimea (moderate sized up to 14 feet- Scary as hell...), boogey-boarded Makapuu over and over, Basked in the sun on the beautiful Kona Coast, Competed in the Aloha Run, and Tinman on Oahu, Been to Kilauea Volcano and HIlo on the Big Island, seen Akaka falls in all of its splendor and majesty, and met and dated a ton of absolutely beautiful women in Hawaii...
Wow, I have lived a blessed life...Andrew, thanks for reminding me...:happysad:
Yes, I do believe we have some similarities...Hey, how is it in Thailand? I hear it is beautiful over there, and the food has got to be incredible, along with the women....:happysad:
