How I did it: I applied for a job in hawaii to work on a cruise ship. The process took about 8 months, but it was worth it. I did not like the job. But I lived in hawaii and sailed the islands for almost 1 year. I made friends from all over the world and I felt at peace with myself being out in the ocean. It was a great place.

To Maui for a week in january 2007, AWESOME!! We stayed at the Napili Kai Beach Resort which was pretty cool – I recommend it. They’ve put a webcam on the beach next to the hotel so your relatives can go on their Internet site & catch sight of you on the beach and be terribly JEALOUS!
Yet a week is wayyyy to short to enjoy all the possible things to do. I advice anybody who goes there either to go 2 wks or to plan all the activities in advance so you pick the one that most interest you and don’t lose time on scheduling activities.
Yikes, it’s getting close and I’m soo not ready! But we’re going no matter what so I’d better get things in order. I’m so excited!
I may get to kill two birds with one stone. My sister is going to be stationed in Hawaii for a few years. I may get to visit her there. Maybe within a year or so for vacation. :)
cmdiamond is stretching body and soul
My sister maybe moving to Hawaii next year. If she is, I’ll have no excuse for not going.
who would have thought this one might be up for completion in 6 months or so? Nothing’s set in stone yet, but maybe… just maybe… Oahu here I come.
