...I sat foot on the island of Oahu (and a visit to Big Island as well), Hawai'i, for the first time. Wow! What an adventure it became. Where I saw Hula being danced the first time, saw lava erupt, and met so many wonderful people, especially at Waikiki Beachside Hostel.
This is the courtyard of the hostel, where I flirted with Gene across the lanais. He became my lover. And this is how the front desk looked like, where I stood and talked to Chris on end. He became my confidante.
And where I went for a journey of discovery with Jesse, with whom I got to see a glimpse of my inner child for the first time as an adult. He became my model. I then returned again a couple of months later and stayed the spring semester 2005 too.
More about these journeys in my books! And all encapsulated in this song.
