Aloha

I don't know what made me think of it, but somehow, this evening my mind tangented over to my childhood and then trips I took with the family, just the five of us.

When I was very young, 6 or 7, my family made our second trip to Disney World (i don't remember the first) and we checked into the ever so groovy, warm and inviting Polynesian Resort.

When I think back, I recall being incredibly shocked that such a place could be so beautiful and exotic. My already cultivated love of the beach grew 3 fold staying in this foreign and gorgeous environment. It sealed my quest to find myself in Hawaii later in life (still workin on it), and also spurred endless afternoons of playing "Blue Lagoon" and "Swiss Family Robinson" in my backyard well into 6th grade...

I perused around, and was happy to find my first faux look into to the South Seas was still doing well and updated, rocking that mod, seventies, lo-fi, groovy look (with updated electronics and a flat rate to boot - $350 a night!!!!).

Anyway, I think I'll muse on about that inspiration for the next few days. And start my Hawaii fund too. Aloha.
