Were you still in Hawaii Kai when that shark got stuck in the marina? I remember sitting at Richards, (think it became Dollys later on), having a cold one, looking out over the water, and seeing this dorsal fin slowly make its way out of the water, then submerge, as it moved forward. Thought my seeing it might have been the ill affects of some bad beer, but, after thorough research, I was able to rule that possibility out.
Uuurrrrppppp..................
I don't remember that one; but I do remember sharks getting stuck in Haunama Bay after storms.
Playing kickball and chase master and smear the ***** in the middle of Kalanianaole Hwy when it was just 2 lanes of dirt or half-a$$ paving. My aunty had, and still has, the largest privately owned piece of property from Waialae thru Hawaii Kai - on corner of Kuliouou and Kalanianaole... And that's after taking half away to add lanes. Good thing she built on the backside of the property. Lots of neighbors are within feet of the highway now.
Some of my best memories were of spending part of my youth growing up i kahaluu and kailua. The manapua trucks and malasadas. The best curried rice on ala moana beach. I was in the jpo's in school and we would have competitions on ala moana beach. I remember going to kailua beach and bowling for pe in school. I loved checkers and pogo and always wanted to go on the show and be the one picked for the birthday hat. You got too scoop pennies out of a jar. One time they had a promotion thing where you could raise money for a charity and my mom helped me put on a carnival in our backyard. I won a huge bag of different frito snacks. My sister and I took nose flute lessons. The may day activities we would do at school. I don't remember the name of it but their were two long sticks that were held at ground level and we would dance between them while they were knocked on the ground and together. There were a lot of good memories. Going night fishing with my best friend and her dad. Swinging on the banyan trees at the zoo. I still love that zoo. All the big string of firecrackers on light poles that were sat off on chinese new years.
Mahalo for your great post. Wow what good memories. Aloha, welcome to CDF Hawai'i forum.
Mahalo for reminding me of the two long sticks that were held at ground level and danceing between them while they were knocked on the ground and together. Tinikling, is the name of it. Man talk about really small kid time lol. Its a dance that came from the Philippines. I remember swinging from the banyan trees at the zoo, chinese new years and checkers & pogo, all the same memories I had. It was a great time to live in Hawai'i and experience our small kid time? Gremiles feel free to share whatever memories you have and Mahalo for reminding me that im not alone in this experience.
Mahalo PattiKK for posting. Playing tag and Chase Master with slippahs on our hands is also a great memory. Too bad thing changed so much eh?
