Bernard waved back!

Aloha all! Spring break continues to be the BEST TIME I'VE HAD since college graduation (and Christmas of course, but that's kind of a given). A lot of the TFA people were talking, and we feel like this is the first real 'break' we have gotten. Fall break was kind of a whirlwind "what do I do next?" type of thing, Christmas was traveling, and now we finally have a chance to catch our breath. (Though we still have university coursework and classes to keep up with).
Today, Jenn & I visited the set of ABC's LOST. As many of you know, this is my FAVORITE television show (edging out "The Office," also a passion of mine) and my two goals in moving to Hawai'i were:
1. Visit Pearl Harbor
2. See LOST filming at least once

I can officially say that I have completed both of these things!
It was hugely exciting for me to watch the magic that is LOST being made. We weren't as fortunate as our roommate Candice, who met Josh Holloway (Sawyer) and some other actors and crew members last Thursday, as well as observe lots of cool things being filmed at another North Shore location. But I was thrilled to see my favorite show in action! The only actors I recognized (we had to keep a certain distance) were L. Scott Caldwell and Sam Anderson (Rose and Bernard, respectively).

When I saw Sam Anderson, I was super excited because the Rose and Bernard story arc is one of my favorites. I waved, and he waved back! He seemed like a really friendly, jovial guy. In general, the sense was very happy. No one treated us (there were a decent amount of tourists, I met a really nice German family) like we were annoying or in their way, they were really polite and just asked us to move whenever we were getting in the shots. We weren't allowed to take pictures close up, but I got some from far away. It is a gorgeous, gorgeous, amazing beach! It also wasn't very crowded, even though filming was going on. I definitely hope to get to see more LOST!
