I’m good with being called insensitive in some cases when I deserve it, just don’t think this was a good reason for it…especially when two other people explicitly said the food sucked and I said I was surprised to hear that since I love finding good Cuban spots stateside.
Goodyear makes decent tires, but I only trust Michelin
I thought you was trolling.Wait I thought it was Goodyear this entire time
Oh damn, did I forget to send you my nice dinner spots when I got back from vacation or was that someone else?
Don’t feel too bad about missing out on Pearl Harbor. It was really amazing to see the harbor, but at the risk of sounding like an American *******…there’s a significant piece of American history that is just…sunken in a harbor. It’s not like visiting the beaches of Dunkirk or seeing Auschwitz or Birkenau, which are hundreds of years older.I had a great time in Hawaii even though I missed visiting a few places that I wanted to go to(Bishop Museum, Kualoa Ranch, Pearl Harbor). I must've went to like 8 beaches, ate at random restaurants around the whole island, and seen some of the most lush vegetation in my life. The locals were friendly and that Aloha spirit is really reflected on the rode because it's easy to get on the wrong lane since alot of streets force the outside lanes to go left or right, but people never honked or rode my bumper if I merged late. I'm a naturally positive person, so this really vibed with me. In fact, the only rude people that I ran into were other tourists that apparently didn't get the memo.
All in all, I'm going to try to make another trip out there in the coming years, but gotta go to NYC and Paris.
Good to hear, I'll see it when I go back. I'm a big history buff, but unfortunately I was already winded and sweating for hours by the time I thought about Pearl Harbor. I honestly didn't feel like walking around outside anymore and opted to hang out in Sand Island and than ate at Boiling Crab instead. My main goal changed from Pearl Harbor to making sure I went to a good Luau, so I ended up picking the Polynesian Cultural Center in to learn more about Hawaiian history and go to a good Luau in one.
I was in Honolulu on vacation for a few days while my wife was working and went to Pearl Harbor one day. The whole time I was just picturing the story about Mike Leach losing his hat in the harbor, so I think that ruined part of my visit. But as a WWII nerd, I’m so much more intrigued by seeing some of those of those other sites I mentioned in my last post.
I feel you, Normandy is up there on my list, also Auschwitz, Warsaw, that WW2 museum in New Orleans, Omaha Beach, and that Holocaust memorial in Berlin.
My dad’s mom was from Warsaw. I don’t think he ever actually knew where his dad was actually from. But he’s never actually been out of the US (outside of trips across the Mexican border before a passport was needed). One of my lifelong goals has been taking him on a trip to find out where he’s from. If any of y’all are into deep searching genealogy or can set me on the right path, please let me know.
