Hawaii

The other night my husband and I were flipping through TV channels when we got sucked into the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall. It’s filmed in Hawaii. As I watched the gorgeous scenery – a glowing sun, turquoise waves and white sandy beaches – I thought, “I want to live in Hawaii one day.” I first flirted with the idea of moving to Hawaii for college. My parents said I’d go “island happy” which sounded fine to me, but instead of applying to UH, I let them talk me into attending a school a few hours away in Ohio (where I went landlocked crazy). Anyway, maybe another opportunity to move to Hawaii will come along. Maybe a botanist will telephone me out of the blue and offer me a job, along with a car and a house. Hey, it could happen. It did to Lucinda Fleeson, author of the upcoming book Waking Up in Eden.
