years ago i bought a photo album of an elderly couples trip to hawaii and the kodak hula show at garage sale(?)....in this album were not only pics of their entire trip but the original leis from when they got off the plane, pressed neatly in plastic between the pages....there are reciepts from where they stayed and ate as well. what's more, included in the box with the photo album are 2 super 8 reels of vacation footage in hawaii which I have yet to see what's on them...they are marked on the outside of the reel's as refering to their stay and the entire kodak hula show is supposedly on one of the reels.....i think by the time I picked this stuff up the couple were already deceased...the photos look to be from the 1960's, maybe early 70's. it's kinda spooky, cause the documentation is so detailed, it's more llike a vacation scrapbook......you can tell it really meant alot to these folks, whoever they are ( or were).........i've been meaning to get a projector so I can view the reels...probably some good shots of vintage hawaii, including interiors of hotels and bars perhaps....or then again, maybe it contains some porn they made while they were there......stay tuned...
This is such a cool story. Thanks for sharing it. Wow, have times changed. In he 60's and 70's people saved everything from their trips. Well, maybe times haven't changed that much. :wink: Thanks again.
