Chinatown

Most every big city has a Chinatown and Honolulu is no exception. A great place for wandering around, checking out the fruits, vegetables and unique foods of the area.

Honolulu Chinatown did not disappoint.

Lychee 

Spring onions

live frogs...yes, LIVE FROGS - to eat I assume, not for pets 

Blue Crabs - reminded me of Savannah :(

Beautiful Dragon Fruit - I still am not sure how to eat them

Bitter Melon

Close up of a Lychee

Pig Heads - he looked kind of cute actually

Beautiful Fish

Fantastic fresh flowers

Lei Shops everywhere and the Leis are rather inexpensive. 

And beautiful

There were tons more to see, taste and take pictures of. I will be back.

One my way to Hawaii

On my way to Hawaii. On my way to meet my sister that I don't really know. I have left my son, all of my friends, my job and most all of my belongings. It's a big risk, but not taking this adventure would always leave me wondering "what if", so I must do it. Even if it doesn't work out, at least I can say I tried it. At least I can say I now have a sister, that I know. At least I can say I lived in Hawaii, for a few months if not longer.

Am I nervous? Of course. Am I excited? You bet!

What if she doesn't like me? What if we don't get along? What if Hawaii isn't what I want? What if this is the best experience of my life? The way I look at it is what ever happens, my relationship with my sister will be closer, and for that, it will all be worth it.

The Lei that was presented to me from Sheryl at the Airport - AMAZING!!
