Hawaii was a ton of fun. Plane rides... not so much. But being in Hawaii... definitely something I want to do over again. And again. And again. ;D
The weather was beautiful and perfect. Yes, there were a few gray moments and a few moments of sprinkling (warm) rain, but they lasted for a mere minute before the sun was out again. Poor Annie got majorly sunburned all along her back, Ghandi got a little sunburned, and then I got the smallest few burns of all--but they were still quite noticeable and hurt like heck for two days or so. I think I mostly tanned, which is nice.
The stores there are amazing and the food is absolutely scrumptious~! I think I got a Kahlua Pork sandwich EVERY DAY. I had amazing pineapple soft serve that I should have gotten more of, and their kona coffee is the best coffee I have had in my life. Homigosh, you don't know. Apparently there is already a bit of chocolate mixed into it. Mmm. I have a whole bag. Ohmnomnom. There was an amazing International Market located between our hotel and the beach, where we could eat almost anything our hearts desired, for a relatively nice price. That was a major find, I'll say. Had ramen curry, pad thai, and enchiladas for lunches at random points. Or dinner. Or second dinner. (Admits it, happily.) Our time zone was so far off we were used to eating lunch when we finally got up and about, ate dinner between two and four, and then had second dinner around nine or so. It was mightily epic.
The beach and snorkeling were amazing. Seeing fish about the size of my head, nearly two inches from my head, was quite the experience! Ooh! And boogie-boarding is one of my absolute favorite past-times, now! I wish I could do it every day! It is utterly exhausting, but if I could keep it up, I would be sooooo incredibly fit, I can't even imagine! Haha. Mm, doing things would have been more fun in a bigger group, or if all of us could do things at the same time, but you live you learn, and you compromise. Next time I go, I'll be more prepared in every manner of speaking. I'll also be sure I have more money I can spend. Haha! Vacations are expensive.
vacations,
fun,
life
