The hazards continue (but they are fewer)
#5 - Swimming in streams - There are few chances on Oahu to swim in streams or under water falls...there are a few hazards associated with doing so. Leptospirosis is a bacteria found in some of Hawai'i's freshwater. Also, consider wearing reef shoes when swimming in streams. I have also seen warnings about flash floods and rocks coming over waterfalls.
#6 - Dehydration - Carry and drink lots of water while we are out and about, by the time you are thirsty, you are already dehydrated.
#7 - Traffic - Traffic can be a big problem in the Honolulu area. I don't know how it compares to Houston...
#8 - Last but not least - Grocery Stores - These are a decided hazard. Although it does say we should save some money cooking our own food...I hear that a trip to the store can be startling. Phrases like they charge how much for milk ? sound as if they are common. Even items like pineapples grown in Hawai'i could cost more than we pay for them here. They do recommend Sam's Club in the Ala Moana Area or Costco west of Waikiki.
Today's word in Hawaiian is Moana (moh-ah-nah) means ocean.

Hi Kids,
The T-Shirts are ordered.....Can everyone wait at least 2 years before I see them in the resale shop for a quarter?
Love you guys......
Hope Everyone's had a chance to look at their maps. We are staying up on the North Shore at Laie Point. You can go to Google Earth and see the roof of the house. Robert has done a wonderful job on the blog and you can mark on your maps the places he's pointed out. Once you've done that, it's time to start thinking about Food... That's right, Food. I plan to shop at the Sam's Club that's located near the Ala Moana Mall. Please be thinking about things you might like to have and start making your lists now. I'll be asking for your lists around the 1st of June.
Love, Mom Hicks
Pfff, you kid din? Prices are very reasonable. I kept remembering this "they charge how much for milk" but that's ridiculous, prices are so reasonable.
