Third-largest Hawaiian island :

A

OAHU

Oahu has been called “The Gathering Place”, although the word “O’ahu” has no translation in Hawaiian. It seems that “O’ahu” is simply the name of the island. One story is that it is named after the son of the Polynesian navigator who first found the islands. The island is made up of two volcanoes, Wai’anae and Ko’olau, joined together by a broad valley, the O’ahu Plain.

City Hemingway called “a moveable feast” :

A

PARIS
“A Moveable Feast” is a 1964 memoir penned by Ernest Hemingway that was published three years after his death by suicide. The memoir was a work in progress when the author died, and so his widow Mary made the final edits prior to publication. The title came from Ernest Hemingway’s friend and biographer A. E. Hotchner, who remembered the author using the phrase:

If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a movable feast.
