Time flew by incredibly too fast. It’s only a matter of hours between my typing this dispatch and
boarding my plane back to the mainland. It’ safe for me to say I’m happy to have come back,
but I’m happy to go back home as well. Having lived in Hawaii before, reliving some experiences came with
mixed moods and creating new ones just the same. This being my last day around the island I decided not
to exert all my energy trying to make it to my missed hiked or anywhere too far from home. Plus, I had a list of
souvenirs I had to pick up for friends and family back home. My stops included Chinatown,
Ala Moana Mall, Aiea Mall, and the shops around the North Shore. I had
something special in mind for everyone which is why I had to go to so many different shopping malls and plazas. I
think they’ll be delighted at their small piece of Aloha. Now I’ve got to find ways to re-pack all this stuff.
Wish me luck.
