If you are heading Ewabound after 6:30pm Monday thru Friday, be aware that there are lane closures on H1 between the hours of 7pm and 4am.  Motorists should expect heavy delays and plan accordingly as it will sometimes take twice the amount of time to get to your destination .  Traffic starts to backup by the Pearlridge area and continues till about the H2 cutoff.

I usually take the Aiea cutoff and drive along Kam Hwy.  The traffic flows smoothly until you reach Pearl City close to Don Quixote.  It then crawls until you reach Sam’s Club then you breeze on towards Ewa or onto H2 Northbound.  Consider yourself lucky if it rains since construction is usually postponed.

Growing up in Hawaii is really a special thing.  There are so many unique experiences that can only be had here! One of those experiences is camping at Namakanipaio (Bird Park) in Hawaii Volcano National Park.

Last May, Andrew, my beloved cat of seven years, disappeared from my family's home in Hawaii Kai.  We searched for him for weeks, making daily visits to the Hawaii Humane Society and hoping that his microchip would assist in Andrew's return home. But with every trip to HHS, our faith in his homecoming was weakened by disappointed heartbreak. Until finally we began to accept he might be gone.
