B & Z Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 He's a cool guy! I wonder if he's ever been to Hawaii. It's a cool place. STeve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 One of the first family vacations I remember was a two-week trip to Hawaii when I was about 8 or 9. Unfortunately, I had broken my arm about two week before we went, and so couldn't really enjoy the surf (I spent a bit of time in the hotel pool with a plastic bag wrapped around the cast, but it wasn't the same), but the rest of it (including the Pearl Harbor museum, and the twin-engined Cessna tour of the islands that we took, during which the pilot let me handle the controls for a few 10s of seconds) was a blast. Hawaii made a strong impression on me. My "dream place to live" list is dominated by a place in the green hills of one of the islands, with enough beach to make morning swims and surfing possible, and enough lawn to host parties for all my friends; a private airstrip is optional... quote: From a Hawaii Glossary : Aloha (pronounced: uh-LOW-hah) – The most common expression in the islands. It can mean hello and goodbye, welcome or farewell. Also the dominant philosophy of the islands, roughly translating to love -- of self, of others, of celebration, and of the natural wonders that Hawaii offers. It can also mean romantic affection or best wishes. Aloha is a general good feeling you will find everywhere on Maui! I've been using it for, I don't know, almost ten years, I guess. It's more distintive than "regards" or "thanks" or similar phrases. It also reminds me of the time I spent there, and I figure that a little cultural cross-pollination is a good thing now and then. (And if you want to see me get deep into a Hawaiian brainspace, read this...) Aloha, Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not buying it. It's gotta be an acronym for something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
