Hawaii, Day 3

Second beach camp: Lost film location

Addition from Day 2...

Today we slept in a little (slept off the luau drinks, I spose!), and then headed up to North Shore after eating a couple sandwiches here in the hotel room. It rained some today, but we got some great beach time just as well. The North Shore is the most beautiful part of Oahu we've seen so far, though the southeast shore isn't bad either. Up on the north part of the island are the bigger swells, the serious surfers. 

The towns seem dirt poor, however, mostly farmers. We drove past some pineapple farms and saw plenty of coconut trees. 

We got out at a few beaches and took some photos and waded around.

I'm uploading some good photos from today and yesterday to Flickr. At one point we went by this sugar mill, and drove to the entrance and took a couple photos. I should've gone further in, as we found out later today that was where they fimed Eko's Nigerian village in Lost.

Today was pretty long, so I'll keep this short!

Hawaii, Day 1

Recognize these cliffs? From a few scenes in Lost!

We arrived safely last night at Honolulu's airport around 10:00 or so. The night was great. The  ticketing agent in Bellingham gave us exit aisle seats both for the way down here and the way home. Sam drove us through the border to Bellingham, and the border was fast. Morgan's dad and Randi are staying at our place watching the cat.

I Miss Lost

I wonder if it is time to rewatch Lost? I rewatched it all after it ended last year, but because I had seen it so recently I didn't pay attention a lot of time. I remember even falling asleep through several episodes.

Life, Death, and Rebirth

The finale of Lost was done superbly. I cried. I can't wait to someday re-watch the whole series!

In the episode previous to the finale, Jacob, who had been resurrected temporarily by the act of burning his cremation ashes, explained to Kate, Hurley, Jack, and Sawyer about someone needing to take over the role of island protector. In doing so, he said that he had been appointed and chosen to take on this role but wished he had had a choice. Jacob asked if anyone would be willing to take over the role, and Jack volunteered. Jacob then went through the ritual of having Jack drink from a cup. It seemed Jacob might have turned some water into wine, but we're never sure. We go into the finale knowing that Jack is taking over the role of island protector.

The End

First beach camp on Lost

I was blown away by the season finale of Lost. I had a hard time not crying out loud. I'm not even sure I can put into words the beauty of this final episode. Don't read the rest if you haven't seen the finale. I might write more on this some day. I surely will rewatch the entire series some day, but not for a while. I want to give it time to sink in and formulate clear words. I want to watch the whole thing and have it be fresh again. What a wonderful story.

This is another attempt to write about last week's episode of Lost, "Across the Sea." Spoilers are contained of course if you haven't gotten up this far in season 6.

The entire following post is something interesting thing that someone posted at SA:

It's time for a good Lost catch-up.

Lost is now weaving some reveals into character-focused episodes.

Awwww. . . so good to see this week's episode of Lost focus on love, and bring back Penny, Desmond, Charlie, Eloise, and Daniel all in one episode. It was a beautiful episode! Only 6 episodes left, and then I will probably just rewatch the whole thing once we get season 6 on Blu-Ray.
