Honeymoon, second bit
Welcome back to the Triad Hawaii Honeymoon Casebook (which is, as everyone knows, way more exciting than an Adventure)! I'm your host (and in some cases, (cases, get it?) your guest host), Kyeli.
When last we left our intrepid... um... Casebookians?, they had just fallen asleep after a 9-hour romp on mopeds. We pick up with them the next morning...
Monday
Sunburn was making our day a bit less pleasant today, so we went out in the morning just to return our mopeds, write the third verse of the Honeydoom song, and get some sandwitches from Subway to hold us over during the day, then returned to our room and stayed in all day.
This is, believe it or not, Sera and Pace, snuggled up together in our bed. Pace was nude, so this is all you get.
We played video games (lots; Pace and Sera spent half the day playing Super Mario World together!), read, snuggled, napped, and just relaxed all day. Pace says this was her favourite day of the week... I, on the other hand, suffered from a bit of cabin fever (I only get that when I'm in a hotel, at home I can get just enough changes of scenery to stave it off longer), but with promises that we'd go out on Tuesday, I was able to keep it at bay.
Here are views from our hotel window:
In the evening, I went down to the same Fridays and ordered us food. While I sat at the bar, reading and waiting for the order, a creepyish older man flirted with me. He asked if I was in Hawaii alone, and I told him my wives were waiting for me upstairs... and he said no more. I gathered my order, returned to my room and my loves, and we ate and fell asleep.
Here are the views from the hotel window, at night! Whee! You get lots of pictures today to make up for the lack of anything interesting actually occuring.
Oh, well, Pace did beat F-Zero. That's pretty brill.
Tuesday
We rented a Jeep! It was really, really fun, but taught me that I really don't want one. I really enjoyed driving it, and one day was enough. It was shiny and silver and pretty, too. :)
We went to Down to Earth again (the veggie cafe), had another amazingly yummy lunch, then decided to just drive around the island for a while.
We stopped at a small metaphysical store, Serendipity. I was hoping to find nice things, and I did, but the energy in there hit me hard, and I needed to get out out out after just a few minutes. Sera misunderstood me and thought I was okay, but as soon as she realized I needed to leave, rather than just being ready to leave, she rounded up Pace and we left.
We talked about what had happened (I'm still not entirely sure, but I'm learning to trust my instincts and they wanted out of there, fast!) while driving around. We took a long, wandering route, following the coast. Sera and Pace took turns being uncomfortable in the back seat. We drove through amazingly beautiful countryside, followed the ocean coast for a long time, just wandering, driving, talking. Pace realized she was feeling grumpy from sleepiness, so she curled up in the back and napped for a while. Sera and I talked about cars and magic and reality.
Pace, just before drifting off to sleep, asked Sera to take pictures of beautiful things. Here are the three most beautiful of the pictures Sera snapped as we drove along:
We drove for several hours, then headed back to the city. We decided to do a bit of shopping before dinner, so we struggled to find a parking spot, parked in an apartment complex, crossed our fingers that the Jeep would be there when we returned, and headed shopward. What a weird experience that was. We went to this HUGE outlet mall kinda thing. Pace and Sera sat on a bench while I wandered the place, and it wound up being more like, 4 stores, repeated over and over, run by different people but all selling the same things; incredibly overpriced odd trinkets, most of which we could get in Galveston for ¼ the price, many of which weren't even labeled 'Hawaii'. It was disorienting. I bought a couple of little things, then got lost, then managed to find my way back to my wives.
We returned the Jeep, and went to Keo's for dinner - an excellent Thai place. Pace had fish and I had shrimp; both were delicious, though P's wasn't spicy enough for her. Sera enjoyed her noodley thing, too - she's a good sport, she doesn't really like Thai.
We headed back to the hotel, played more video games, then crashed.
Stay tuned for the next exciting installment, heading your way when we get round to it! :)
