This winter, I was lucky enough to visit Oahu. As a die-hard Lost fan, I was perpetually thinking of the show when I’m there (it was my third visit). You can read all about my five favorite Lost sites.

Because that blog post was right around when Lost returned from hiatus, there were a ton of similar stories on travel blogs..with incomplete (and what seemed to be cribbed) information and plenty of stock photography.

Fail.

Which is why I absolutely love this shaky video tour with Jorge Garcia (who I saw when I was in Kailua!). Maria Elena Fernandez, the writer of the accompanying piece in the L.A. Times, is clearly an actual true Lost watcher. When Garcia describes “the girl who parachuted onto the island”, Fernandez pipes up with her name: Naomi.

When you remember characters from a few seasons back–characters that the stars of the show have since forgotten–you get a A+ in my Big Book of Lost Awesomeness. Nice going, Maria!

Check out the video:

Did I mention that all but a couple of these sites are in my Lost must-see list, too? And that I actually mapped them all out? Yeah, I knew Jorge was referring to Naomi, too.

Lost nerds need to stick together when it comes to Oahu.
