Speaker 2
My favorite hobby is scuba diving. I've been to hawaii three times. I'm a us marine veteran. I have two pet snakes. My wife and I just got divorced.
Speaker 1
I am married. I have 2 children. I grew up in San Francisco. I have never been to Hawaii. I take my wife fishing. I like to fish. I eat french fries. I work a long way from where I live.
Speaker 2
I am a scuba diver. I like french fries. I have been to Hawaii 3 times. I am recently divorced. I used to be in the marines.
Speaker 1
Hello there; how was your day.
Speaker 2
Great thanks. Just got back from scuba diving.
Speaker 1
I have been busy eating french fries made by my wife.
Speaker 2
Yumm! Who makes homemade french fries though? Ever been to hawaii?
Speaker 1
Not at all I grow up in san francisco.
Speaker 2
You need to take your wife! I've been three times it is that lovely!
Speaker 1
I will rather take her go fishing she loves it.
Speaker 2
Anyway I just divorced so spend time with her no matter what it is.
Speaker 1
I am indeed triying but my work place is far from where I live.
Speaker 2
Think of your family first. I am a marine vet so I know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1
I have two kids they will keep her company.
Speaker 2
No, a woman needs more than that. Her husband and maybe some pets.
Speaker 1
Its really nice chatting with you.
Speaker 2
Same to you and take care of yourself.

Speaker 1
My wife and I looked up Hawaii vacations for us and our children
Speaker 2
Nice! How long do you plan to spent there?
Speaker 1
At least a couple of weeks! Hope to get some good fishing in, maybe the wife and kids can go scuba diving while I go! Got any reccomendations?
Speaker 2
Kailua-Kona is definitely the spot for fishing. Maui is better for scuba diving.
Speaker 1
Guess we'll have to do some island hopping! I'm alright with that. Speaking of recommendations, I know you share my passion for fries, is there any spot I NEED to hit up? Kids love them too.
Speaker 2
Last time I went there, there was no ferry service between Maui and Kona, but flight only take 35-50 minutes so it's doable. I only went to Mahaloha Burger and Teddy's Bigger Burger. They are good. Not sure about the others.
Speaker 1
Thanks, I'll definitely check those out! Heck, maybe you should come with us and be our tour guide! Youre not in the marines anymore and I'd finally have a fishing buddy. I'd even go scuba diving!
Speaker 2
We should! I'm not into solitary fishing that much, but Kona is a hotspot for sportfishing, I always welcome fishing buddy to compete together. When are you planning to go?
Speaker 1
I was thinking early September, hopefully miss the worst of the tourist rush. Mhm, now I'm craving french fries. Wanna grab some and chat about the ex later?
Speaker 2
Avoiding the rush is a good idea. The chatting won't be a good topic if you come with your family. Maybe after their sleep time we can catch up with a drink, and fries of course!
Speaker 1
Nothing I hate more than too many people. I already deal with that enough on my commute to work! I'll be happy to not deal with that for a few weeks. Kids are normally down pretty early, how's nine at O'Sullivans sound?
Speaker 2
I'm in! Wow I'm craving for fries already.

Speaker 1
How can you drink so much whiskey and not pass out?
Speaker 2
Well, I guess I have built up a tolerance since the divorce. Whiskey truly soothes the soul! LOL!
Speaker 1
Right on. Were all the Hawaii trips with your former partner?
Speaker 2
No, most of them were work trips when I was with the marines. I did take one vacation though with my ex. Didn't you say that you and your wife are planning a trip there?
Speaker 1
Yes, for us and the kids. Started looking into those places you recommended. Very excited for thins to come together. Ever done any fishing competitions down there?
Speaker 2
Very exciting!! I haven't done any fishing competitions, but I have heard that they are a great experience! Are you planning to enter one?
Speaker 1
Ha ha; no, I'm not at that level, but maybe someday. I'm just happy my wife joins me for it, even though she does not actually fish. 
Speaker 2
Well maybe y'all could go watch one of the competitions! I bet the kids would enjoy seeing some of the huge fish that people catch!
Speaker 1
They are huge, right? That could be fun. Or I'll at least try to find one on the television. Do you still talk to anyone e from the Corps?
Speaker 2
I'm sure there will be a few going on while y'all are down there. I do keep in touch with a lot of my team. I actually think one of them is living in Hawaii!
Speaker 1
Oh, cool. I'll try to find a schedule, see how it lines up with our dates there. How about you? Any travel plans coming up?
Speaker 2
Nope! Just maxin' and relaxin' as a I try to finalize my divorce! It's all about me right now! Maybe next year I will start traveling again.

Speaker 1
We have our Hawaii plans all set up.
Speaker 2
Nice! What city will you be visiting?
Speaker 1
We are going to stick with the tourist areas around Honolulu.  I am planning on taking an introduction to scuba diving class.  I might come back better than you!
Speaker 2
hm debatable.  Maybe we can go together sometime so you can try to prove me wrong.
Speaker 1
Well, maybe I will need a few more lessons first.  I am going to try some of the local drinks.  I am looking forward to a Blue Hawaiian and a Hawaiian Hammer while I am relaxing on the beach.
Speaker 2
Those are some of my favorites! Is your wife excited?
Speaker 1
She is very excited!  We are going to do a lot of family activities, and she has a few she would like to do.  We will take turns watching the kids.  We are taking the kids to swim with dolphins and possibly on those submarines.
Speaker 2
that sounds awesome.  I've never checked out the submarines before.  That sounds like an awesome experience.
Speaker 1
I guess you probably never got on a submarine as a Marine.  But I have read that some or all of the security on submarines involves Marines?  Maybe I read that wrong.
Speaker 2
Maybe they do.  I never had to go on one though and neither did any of the marines that I know.
Speaker 1
Probably so, just not that many subs.  Change of topic - I'm looking forward to the food in Hawaii.  We have a night luau planned for the family.  That should be fun.  Dance, music, food and drinks.  I am still going to find a good burger place that has great fries. You know I love them!
Speaker 2
absolutely!  There's so much great food in Hawaii.  It'll be great for your family to be exposed to the culture there.

I am a former Marine. I've never been on a submarine.
Speaker 1
I meant to ask you: do you miss your days as a Marine?
Speaker 2
That's a great question.  I honestly do miss being in the marines and around all the great people I met.  We became really close.  I was actually stationed out in Hawaii - are you excited to go?
Speaker 1
Yes, I hope the weather will be nice in Honolulu
Speaker 2
The weather was always great when I was out there.  Lots of sunshine.  You'll have a great time scuba diving too!  That's something that I wished that I had learned.  What's your favorite type of fish to eat?
Speaker 1
I think learning to scuba dive will be challenging, but I look forward to the nice underwater things I might see.
Speaker 2
The coral and bright colored fish are so beautiful to look at.  That sounds like a great vacation you have planned.  I've never been on a sub before so I'm jealous that you are going on one.  What inspired you to want to go on a sub?
Speaker 1
Submarines feel a little claustrophic, but they are still intriguing vessels that are worth exploring.
Speaker 2
That's a great point.  I agree that it's an intriguing form of transportation.  Who would have thought that we'd be able to travel so far undersea?  I know that Honolulu has some great beaches.  What's the first drink that you're going to sip on when you're relaxing?
Speaker 1
I think a Mai Tai is a drink that goes well with Hawaii.
Speaker 2
Good choice.  I was always a fan of Long Island Iced Teas myself.  I also like a drink that was created out in Hawaii back in the 70's.  Have you ever had a Hawaiian Hammer before?  It's delicious.
Speaker 1
Hawaiian Hammer with coconut flavor sounds tempting, I better not get too "Hammered" though
Speaker 2
Ha - I may recommend staying away from that drink then.  The bartenders in Honolulu can be pretty generous with the alcohol.  Are you going to go swimming with the dolphins along with the kids?  That sounds like fun!
