BLUE HAWAII
Haiku
Hanauma Bay Park
Elvis' "Blue Hawaii" filmed.
Open, but restricted.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
In 1967, had the pleasure of visiting the beach and dipping my toes in the blue-green water at Hanauma Bay State Park. After COVID, there were restrictions placed on the location. Now, you have to make reservations 48 hours in advance to visit the world-famous snorkeling location.

Vale Perficientur
"My tears need a minute to find the edges of my face. If you'll please excuse me." The sarcasm stabbed into Juliana’s heart. Antonia glared at her from the pit of the Lyceum as her student fought to hold back tears that had nothing to do with the pain in her fingers. “You’re better than this, again.”

very nice. Open, but restricted is a great line.
So amazing that you were able to see this place in person! I loved the movie :) Great haiku!
Really like this one!
Loved this one! And especially loved the added insight for the location. I visited Kauai in 2010. Can't wait to go back! Great Job!
