I was 10 years old when I left hawaii in the mid 50's..i cried all the way across the pacific and all the way from la to laredo, texas..talk about a shock to the system..hawii to laredo texas..eeek
They're so beautiful. There's nothing like it. I swear I drove right through a rainbow in Kapolei earlier this week. It was right in front of me on the road, I could reach out and touch it, and then suddenly it moved. It was the strangest thing...
When you see that on the way in, are you ever tempted to play hookey that day? Or would that mean Hurley would surely end up as a light snack for Smokey in the next episode?
I didn't even think about the effect the ending of the show would have on where you'd live. I guess it's unusual for a prime time show to be filmed in Hawaii. However, there are plenty filmed here in Vancouver. It's gorgeous here, though it's kinda more rain than rainbows.
when I lived in Florida, I loved the smell of Orange Blossoms. When I lived in San Francisco, I loved driving by Ocean Beach EVERY morning. (sand dollars the size of my head, too) I was in Hawaii once, for a week, five years ago- and I will never forget the smell of Plumeria, and the guys who use the word Bruthah, for every thing. (And ABC stores, but they're all over Vegas, too)
Bonito arco iris, pero seguro que tambien surgirán alla donde vayas. Aqui en España ya lo podrás observar, yo te invito a que vengas, podriamos disfrutar de esos arco iris. Pero Hawaii es un sitio especial, entiendo perfectamente lo que quieres decir.
When, I look on this Image, I remeber great hawaii's song by Israel" Over the rainbow ", - my favorite!!!!! Jorge, it's so interesting, when you will move away from the island, you will change name of your blog???
It's beautiful! I'm coming to Hawaii in a few weeks, I can't wait to see what the island has to offer. LOL! That sounded a little Lostish. Not intended!
We had one of these in Calabasas, CA not too long ago. But it happens, ya know, like once every 5 years. Not on the daily like in Oahu. Love GJB!!! Peace
Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high And the dreams that you dream of Once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow Blue birds fly And the dreams that you dream of Dreams really do come true...
I started following you b/c of the Lost and HI connections (I'm from Maui and just love "visiting" home anyway I can), but stayed following you b/c you make make me smile:)
Wow, that is an awesomely beautiful view! As far as you leaving Hawaii, that seems really sad as it signals the end of a great TV show. I know I, for one, do not think I will ever find a show as brilliant as LOST. The whole experience has been a blast. Thanks for your part in that. You are an amazing actor and person.
So Jorge, are you going to be continuing this blog now that your tour of duty on the island is wrapping up? I've only recently discovered your efforts here, and man, it's been a good time. Hope you keep after it!
I've been seeing a lot of rainbows since my little boy died last August. I always think it's his way of saying "Hi" from heaven. And they always take my breath away. You're so lucky-you had two people saying "hi" to you.
We will miss knowing you are here, it has really been a pleasure having the cast get involved with local goings-on, from fundraisers to symphony events to tsunamis...you'll be missed! Look forward to see what you'll be up to next...aloha oi!
A personal observation: The thing about leaving is that waking up not being on Oahu just isn't the same. I made the mistake of selling a radio station that I had there a number of years ago and moving back to the mainland to be an "on the road" broadcast consultant and owning a couple of stations and every day I have longed to be back there...Now I able-at last- to be at the point of negotiating to buy another station and finally get myself back there. In the end when all is said and done with modern transportation any of us can live anywhere and get to where we have to be and get back so if you are happy living there -if you will miss the living experience that is Hawaii by all means don't do what I did and consider staying.
I was shaking my head "yes" at the photo of the rainbow, and then laughed to myself about the commute part. I can't believe the traffic on this island. Ridic.
that truly IS a bummer! maybe you can find another amazing tv show that wants to shoot in Hawaii??
ReplyDeletestay then! (also, nice picture! keep your eyes on the road brah!)
ReplyDeletewow is a beautiful!!!!!
ReplyDeletei love rainbow
I like Rainbows. You are just going to leave temporarily. Once the 'aina has hold of you... it will never let you go.
ReplyDeletedid you guys ever consider staying there?
ReplyDeletelovely!
ReplyDeleteI was 10 years old when I left hawaii in the mid 50's..i cried all the way across the pacific and all the way from la to laredo, texas..talk about a shock to the system..hawii to laredo texas..eeek

ReplyDeleteI wish my drive looked like this.
ReplyDeleteFantastic view.I wish I could be there.
ReplyDeleteThey're so beautiful. There's nothing like it. I swear I drove right through a rainbow in Kapolei earlier this week. It was right in front of me on the road, I could reach out and touch it, and then suddenly it moved. It was the strangest thing...
ReplyDeleteWow, that's so beautiful. It made my morning. :]
ReplyDeleteYou're terribly right Jorge! Rainbows are the things I miss more about hawaii.. like Iz said, you're so lucky to be there..
ReplyDeleteWow.... Have you caught that pesky Leprechan yet?
ReplyDeletethat is cool
ReplyDeleteLOVELY :)
ReplyDeleteSir, don't take a single moment for granted.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you won't.
Absolutely gorgeous! I wish my commute looked like that.
ReplyDeleteSpectacular! I suppose it is the geography, but I have never seen a rainbow so low and wide before!
ReplyDeleteThank you both for sharing a little bit of your lives.
: ) P
so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scenery!
ReplyDeleteWhen you see that on the way in, are you ever tempted to play hookey that day? Or would that mean Hurley would surely end up as a light snack for Smokey in the next episode?
so why not stay?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. My 6 yr old loves, loves, loves to see rainbows and always wants to find the end.
ReplyDeleteThat's sad. :(
ReplyDeleteDo you already know what's coming up next for you?
Wow, that's gorgeous. I don't know that I could leave there. It's so pretty everywhere you look!
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely GORGEOUS! I'd miss the view too!
ReplyDeleteThat is so beautiful! I wish my commute was that amazing. Enjoy it! :)
ReplyDeleteCan't argue with you there. beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh.. Hawaii rainbow... beautiful...
ReplyDeleteWow, that's an awesome picture.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI lived on Oahu for 9 years as a kid, I still miss it. There really is no place like it. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely.
ReplyDeleteI thought you were using DIQUS?
That's gorgeous. I shouldn't complain about my one mile commute... but it sure doesn't look like that!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy leave, where could you go that's better?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeletewow, that's so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteRainbows make me smile. :)
ReplyDeleteawesome! how lucky you are! :)
ReplyDeleteIf possible, you should have a home/apartment there so you can come back to the rainbows.
ReplyDeleteIt's a double! SOoooo pretty. I want to go to Hawaii some day.

ReplyDeleteThat rainbow is cool and all, but damn, look at the traffic! I would kill for that amount of people on the road
ReplyDeleteAww! You two don't plan on staying there after? Whatever will happen to our beloved Dispatches from the Island?
ReplyDeleteshould I stay or should I go.......
ReplyDeletegreetings Jorge!!!
YO VOTO PORQUE HUGO SEA EL ELEGIDO!!! HUGO RULES DUDE!!!
You should stay out there or keep your rental house so you can visit or have long weekends.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful rainbow!!
So, don't leave.
ReplyDeletewow!
ReplyDeleteOooh it's a double! Nice. I'd miss it too!

ReplyDeleteHola Jorge,
ReplyDeleteBonito arco iris, pero seguro que tambien surgirán alla donde vayas.
Aqui en España ya lo podrás observar, yo te invito a que vengas, podriamos disfrutar de esos arco iris. Pero Hawaii es un sitio especial, entiendo perfectamente lo que quieres decir.
You should tell your agent to get you a recurring role on the new Hawaii Five-O.
ReplyDeletewow! this is beautiful, but also sad :(
ReplyDeleteWait, why would you ever leave that place?
ReplyDeleteCuz of work? I'll write a pilot and come live out there too. you can be my main character!
... I love Hawai'i's rainbows. I saw three of them right next to each other over the Napali coast once. Stunning.
Jorge,
ReplyDeleteDude that is one pretty awesome commute!
LOL @ you'll miss the commute! I take it you thought we'd assume the rainbow... yeah yeah not funny if you have to explain the joke...
ReplyDeleteMan. Gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThat is so beautiful. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWell... Hawaii is known as the rainbow state. lol
ReplyDeleteRoy G. Biv!
ReplyDeletethat is awesome!
ReplyDeleteIf you're coming back to LA you won't miss too much as we've had some pretty awesome rainbows lately...
ReplyDeleteI'm a little jealous. Roadkill and bad drivers are all I tend to see on my commute to work.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope you enjoyed your amazing experience! I know I did watching the show :) It's so sad to see it go :'(
ReplyDeleteI have some nice photos from the Sunset on the Beach premier, and of me and you on screen in LA X 2. Is it possible to post photos on your blog?
ReplyDeleteYou & Beth will be missed when you leave! Visit often!
ReplyDeleteHey - aren't cell phones while driving not allowed here? (Be safe!)
(ps - Mahalo for the blog & the podcast! Love 'em both!)
What a perfect rainbow!!! It seems like you finally could find a gold pot at the end of it!!
ReplyDeleteWe will miss YOU - maybe a spin off - with you as the star character???? Hmmmm!!
ReplyDeleteWhat are you going to call your blog after you leave Hawaii?
ReplyDeleteWhen, I look on this Image, I remeber great hawaii's song by Israel" Over the rainbow ", - my favorite!!!!! Jorge, it's so interesting, when you will move away from the island, you will change name of your blog???
ReplyDeleteAnd we'll miss you sir. Don't know what we'll do without our Hurley fix.

ReplyDeleteThanks Jorge! I'm honored.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're savoring the moments.
ReplyDeleteI've had a couple commutes this past month that looked just like this.
ReplyDelete[I live in the San Francisco area.]
Beautiful photo!
That's beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteSomewhere over the rainbow
ReplyDeleteWay up high
And the dreams that you dream of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dream of
Dreams really do come true...
Sorry if this was already answered:
ReplyDeleteAre you going to continue blogging??
I started following you b/c of the Lost and HI connections (I'm from Maui and just love "visiting" home anyway I can), but stayed following you b/c you make make me smile:)
So I hope this is not the end of Dispatches...
Wow, that is an awesomely beautiful view! As far as you leaving Hawaii, that seems really sad as it signals the end of a great TV show. I know I, for one, do not think I will ever find a show as brilliant as LOST. The whole experience has been a blast. Thanks for your part in that. You are an amazing actor and person.
ReplyDeleteWhile the rainbow is lovely, I was envious of the open, traffic-free road ahead. I think I would miss that the most!
ReplyDeleteSo Jorge, are you going to be continuing this blog now that your tour of duty on the island is wrapping up? I've only recently discovered your efforts here, and man, it's been a good time. Hope you keep after it!
ReplyDeletesalutti grosso,
ReplyDeletealejandro
hawaii 5-0 totally needs a sub-plot about how the detectives go to the island to solve cases. like you guys are their oracle or something.
ReplyDeleteThis is very dreamlike, rainbows are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteNo traffic either, huh?
Absolutely Gorgeous! I'm jealous!
ReplyDeleteI would be sad to leave too. Enjoy it while you're there!
ReplyDeleteWill ya miss the RATS!?
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful picture! So cool!

ReplyDeleteI moved off the island in December and I miss it so much! Now if only I can talk my hubs into returning...
