We went to Ocean Shores at the exact same time the Carleton Complex Fire was raging in the Methow Valley. Amanda, Tom and the girls had evacuated town. I remember how incongruous that seemed, because it rained on us all weekend at the coast.
Anyway, after the pandemic we bought the Twisp house and that became the go-to vacation for a long while. I love the place, but it is more of a working vacation. Our other trips were mostly to the desert, so it's truly been over 10 years since I've walked along a sandy ocean shore. Sigh.
Long story short, we're looking forward to our long-planned trip to Oahu, Hawaii next week. I kept this one easy (no rental car hassle or searching for the perfect Airbnb) just 6 nights at a Waikīkī hotel, the deal booked through the Costco website.
We will be unashamed tourists. I found and washed our old Hawaiian shirts. And maybe I'll buy myself a new mumu. John wanted to know if I was bringing my ukulele?
