Almost 25 years ago I took a trip with my college roommates. They were
21 and I was 20, but it didn't matter because we went to Hawaii,
and the legal age to walk into a bar and order a frou-frou drink
was 18 at that time. Woo hoo!
And that getting braces in college was not one of my best ideas. Although it worked out okay.
This last picture was taken the following year, when I was moving home from the islands after camping there for a while.
Found these photos recently, all terrible, but I have learned several things from them.
Like that we were HIGHLY obnoxious, but pretty fun in those days.
And that every culture has its own Lionel Richie. Look, there's Honolulu's own Lionel Richie, Jr.!
Also, that I should never have tried to get a tan, ever.

I worked for the luau with these two, and Faa, the one on the right, was one of my roommates. What do I learn from this photo? That the poodle look was not my best bet. Sadly, it would take me YEARS to learn that.
Years.
Lionel Richie? I thought that was Tony Orlando. Minus Dawn.

No, Ron, but I am willing to learn.

Sooo much information to process in these pictures - soooo many questions to ask. But mostly, glad to see the smiles of a happy time.
