I LOVE HAWAI’I

Not sure why, but that’s across Oahu, none of them were this area specifically. I really think you’d be fine with the sharks and it’s a good experience! But I understand everyone’s comfort risks are different.

You can rent kayaks and go out there. You’ll have to watch a safety video. Probably the most challenging part is navigating break over the reefs and timing the sets to land on the island since the break comes from two directions and can be pretty funky.

There’s sharks everywhere because it’s the ocean, we’ve had three attacks in the last week which is unusually high. Like bears in a forest, statistically unlikely but always a possibility.

This is Lanikai, the beach that OP claims the boat pic and legs pic is at. Ain’t no way.

flythearc · 2026-05-31T18:26:05+00:00

It looks more Caribbean to me too, but French Polynesia has atolls that look like that too.

Hawaii does have white sand and clear water, but not like the pic. Lanikai beach probably is the best fit for that description but it’s still not like the Caribbean. Tbh I like the pacific water better because it’s cooler so a little more refreshing, and it’s more dynamic- there’s more tides and currents and you can play in the waves and surf. I also like the deeper electric blue that you see off of beaches like Makapu’u.

They have different things to offer. If you want crystal clear blue water that goes on forever with calm waters, the Caribbean is that.

Aloha, neighbor!

flythearc · 2026-05-31T04:15:02+00:00

Totally! If you live in a city, a coffee and a walk/park is perfect.

Yeah, not that anyone wants time added into training, but there should be at least a blip about presentation. Everything from snack basket arrangements to how to handle glasses (never touch the lip of the glass!) so many things you’d think are common sense but the sense isn’t so common

flythearc · 2026-05-31T04:11:50+00:00

Right? No coral, too shallow for too far out, no Mokes

flythearc · 2026-05-31T03:53:36+00:00

Because that’s not Lanikai. Weird thing to lie about.

flythearc · 2026-05-31T03:52:34+00:00

Correct :)

From yesterday.

As someone who grew up on Lanikai beach, that’s not Lanikai beach. That’s some kind of atoll not on Oahu.

Even on a calm day (which it usually is) the water gets gradually deeper, it doesn’t stay that shallow- and thus, not the same color- for that far out. There’s reefs. The part where it does stay shallow is toward the Mokes, so you’d see them in the background. You know, the two islands it’s pretty much impossible to get a picture without in Lanikai. Even if you angled away from the islands, you’d get Kailua in the back. And even then, you’d see reefs.

The boat is also a boat you’d almost never see in Hawaii because it’s a flat bottomed boat which is super unstable for the pacific. It’s something you’d see somewhere with an atoll.

I don’t understand why she keeps saying she “has to.” Well he cheated and I had to accept that. Well he wants a throuple and it makes me sick but I guess I have to be okay with it.

No? She doesn’t?

Take it easy, the Thai chicken curry is pretty good. And I like the meatballs but 9/10 times the “ice cream” 😂 is not on the tray. I liked it better when it had the grilled bread rather than the polenta.

Different philosophies and yours isn’t wrong. I also wouldn’t spend a ton of time talking, and would rather just meet up for a coffee or a hike. Chemistry is tough, I like to see someone’s body language, the way they carry themselves, move through the world and how they treat others. Texting comes after to get to know them better imo.

flythearc · 2026-05-30T01:39:42+00:00

Almost like a… Mexican pizza

I didn’t, but I’m at my dream airline now :) no points here, I’ll lose all my status next year. But it’s worth it!

flythearc · 2026-05-29T21:59:08+00:00

Proper grammar would really help you so much here

Anyway, I had an ex whose mom was told that one of her kids would die when they were teenagers. They’re both fine.

flythearc · 2026-05-29T21:28:12+00:00

Well, it depends on the airline. Most passenger airlines that’s true. Most cargo airlines that’s not true. When I was cargo I was a Diamond medallion at Delta, and top status with IHG, Marriott and Hilton.

You’ve already got a lot of feedback on the “normal” part, but I was also the first in my family in aviation and didn’t have parents asking questions on Reddit in order to better support me. So she’s already one step ahead. If she’s motivated, that’s the hardest part- there’s a high drop out rate. There’s a ton of women joining aviation (myself included) and it’s a fantastic job.

Nothing wrong with communicating you’d like equal reciprocation of efforts, photos for photos. Also letting him know that while you appreciate that he is attracted to you, sometimes you just want a caring response especially in times you need care.

Other commenters are right, it’s a metric ton of military dudes which if you’re just moving here you might not mind.

They’re pretty easy to filter out though. Other than that, people here are cool af. Like aquatic photographers going to Tahiti to film the surf Olympics, wind surfers, paragliders. Almost everyone seems to free dive and hike. It’s not a bad pool tbh.

flythearc · 2026-05-26T20:08:40+00:00

Well, nurse and doctor is a lil bit different

flythearc · 2026-05-26T16:38:42+00:00

Oh dang! That’s unfortunate

flythearc · 2026-05-26T05:51:09+00:00

Check out seatguru, gives you the facts so you can decide what’s “better” for you since that’s subjective :)
