And then there was one...

One day, one person, one post left after a summer in Hawai`i. Dave left in a hurry this morning after he realized his flight was 45 minutes earlier than anticipated. Thankfully everything was packed last night and he should be off without an issue. I however am not leaving until 9 pm, so that gives me basically a full day here. What do I plan on doing with my remaining time? Go to the...

They don't call it The Big Island for nothing

We just returned from 4 days on the Big Island. It truly was BIG. It would be like the Texas of Hawaii. Before I get started on all the fun I have a disclaimer: NEVER FLY GO! AIRLINES!!!! I was enticed to buy their tickets because they were the cheapest rates, who wouldn’t right? 1. their planes are all in THE crappiest terminal ever. There is no food, no drinks, it’s god awful. 2. Every...

Maui Woweeeeeeee

We took a day trip to Maui and met up with my cousins, Rachel and Kurt on vacation. I think I took the most pictures in the shortest amount of time. It was a CARAZY whirlwind day. We visited a cute little town, Paia for lunch and then made it up to the Haleakala Volcanic Crater. I’m not going to write much now so I’m going to spare the details, but it was a very scenic, amazing...

Suda is a Japanese artist who does really realistic wood carvings out of Japanese Magnolia wood. Once he carves the flowers and leaves he places them very deliberately throughout the space to make the...

Apologies, Birthday Celebrations, & Museum work

Apologies: I was so good at updating when we first got here. I was so excited to post about everything we did and put up a ton of pictures. It’s was a lot easier to keep up with the blog when I wasn’t working and was essentially a beach bum. Now, however, that work is a real activity 5 days a week it makes blogging a lot more difficult. My lack of posts is mostly due to that, but...

4th of July? Shopping and Eating, naturally

I always find it so hard to follow up a really intense post. Like, how could I possibly follow our trip and pictures to Kaua`i especially when we really didn’t do anything too notable this weekend. Well, have to start somewhere… Dave had off Friday so for the most part we spent our day at the beach. We went to a different beach than we normally do-the Ala Moana Beach Park. If...

Kaua`i, like Hawai`i with a K

Wow, as expected there is so much to write about our trip to Kaua`i (Dave’s making me use the accent grave because he has to use it at work- it’s to signify the Hawaiian okina- sort of like an apostrophe/separator) Enough about grammar, onto the Kaua`i adventure! ****** Oh, but first, since I know this is a long post, be sure to click through all the old pages, because there are so...
