    OAK-HNL-MKK

    5 de diciembre de 2016, Estados Unidos ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    I liked the Hawaiian vibe so much on my October visit, that I decided to move there. When I got back to Oakland, I looked on Craigslist for a rental I might be able to afford and found one on the island of Moloka'i, across the channel from O'ahu.

    Following several telephone and email exchanges, I signed a lease beginning December 1, gave notice at my job in Oakland, and flew to Moloka'i, via an overnight stop in the hostel in Waikiki, to check out my little studio in the island's main town, Kaunakakai.    Leer más

    Kaunakakai

    6 de diciembre de 2016, Estados Unidos ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    The island is famous for its thousands of axis deer, but on my walk (and at home) the wildlife I became most familiar with immediately were the wildfowl, which roam through people's gardens and the towns at will. Traffic stops for them.Leer más

    This and that

    7 de diciembre de 2016, Estados Unidos ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    Seems I didn't take many photos the next day...just one of a t-shirt in a downtown store, and the Christmas decorations outside a house that backs onto the property where my studio is located.

    Rainy day

    8 de diciembre de 2016, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌧 23 °C

    In a break in the rain, I wandered down to the local community center, where an exercise class was in full swing, and picked up the local weekly rag from a rack downtown. I'd just missed the Christmas Parade from the week before, but it was a front page story, of course!

    This lovely cat lives on the property, perhaps left by a former tenant. She relies on the tenants for food, but is also a good mouser--she caught one this very day.    Leer más

    Maunaloa

    9 de diciembre de 2016, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    I took the free/by donation bus up to the town of Maunoloa on the west end of the island. It used to be a thriving community when pineapple plantations were on the island, but they left in 1988, then Moloka'i Ranch, which owns the town, shut down the tourism operations that replaced the plantations in 2008.Leer más

    Leaving Moloka'i

    12 de diciembre de 2016, Estados Unidos ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    I was due to fly to HNL on the 11th, for a one-night stopover on my way back to Oakland, but the Ohana plane wasn't able to land because of the low clouds--the airport is surrounded by hills. (The small island-hopper airlines don't have that problem.) We waited for the next scheduled flight, but it was cancelled too, so I was re-booked on a flight to HNL via OGG, the airport in Kahului on the island of Maui, and was able to catch my scheduled flight to OAK.Leer más
