Every time I'm on the phone with Barbara from Pacific Weddings, I find myself wishing I could pull a Freaky Friday so I could selfishly be topless on the North Shore. Until I book a Hawaiian wedding (hint, hint), I've tossed together a mix that helps me cope. On a more lackadaisical day, I'd just listen to all my Jack Johnson albums straight though to cure my yearning for the Aloha State; however, what kind of mix would that be???

Here's 10 songs that take me to a place like Hawaii (please exit your RSS readers ummm now) ...where I can imagine the North Shore outside my window.

When you book your Hawaii wedding, you have to come by and meet the gang at Pacific WEDDINGS. We are such big fans!

Please be jealous of me, as I am going to see my man Jack Johnson in concert (for the second time) this Friday in Bonner Springs! :) :) :) When I was at the North Shore in Oahu a few years ago (yes, I am trying to sound cool here) I looked everywhere for Jack, but didn't find him. :( Too bad--it would've been nice to meet him, considering he IS my husband and all (sorry, Chantal)! ;)

Haha trust me, not listening to the radio is a GOOD thing! :) it's when you're trapped in an office with the same station playing all day that it becomes lethal...

Jamie Delaine:
I LOVE JASON MRAZ! Just thought I'd shout that out. He's coming to Vancouver on November 8 and I already bought tickets in the presale last week. Lovely.

Are you seriously trying to get me to feel sorry for you and your "lack of travelling"??? Geez it must really suck to only get to go to California and Ireland within a few weeks... :D I want that $10.

My husband and I went to Hawaii this spring, and the North Shore of Oahu was by far our favorite. You have good taste!
(08.12.08 08:42 AM)
Melissa:
Hey Fred, I wish I was in Hawaii too...being up here in Canada has its perks, but after 24 full days of rain in July (and continuing into August) sucks! :(
(08.12.08 07:34 AM)
Bob P.:
I think "Rodeo Clowns" by G. Love and Jack Johnson would fit nicely in that mix. Love the Jason Mraz!
