10 days in Hawaii... not even sure where to begin. I will definintely be doubling up a few posts this week to get caught up. I'm never sure which order
my pics will be in, so I'll just briefly describe each. For starters, Hawaii is 5 hours BEHIND us. So when we arrived at around 2pm in the afternoon, it was already our 7pm - not to mention we had a 9 hr and 44 min direct flight from Atlanta. We (actually just I) didn't want to waste a moment of our time there, so we made the stupid mistake of hopping onto a public bus to try to go to the North Shore. It weaved in and out of nowhere for about an hour and a half before we finally got fed up and got off - the driver said it was still a long way to Waikiki and the North Shore which if you are driving straight only takes about half an hour but he was stopping every 2 seconds so it was the bus ride that would never end. So we got off and went to Red Lobster where I met, Brian. My second friendly, fun Hawaiian who I almost had convinced to teach me to surf. He's the cute guy in the white shirt with me. My first HOT Hawaiian buddy was a guy that I was stuffed on the bus with. There was no breathing room and we were standing so we were very friendly. HOT guy. Really nice. Never did get his name. Anyway, then we started the trek back to the Hotel and went across a canal where i took the group photo. Everyone was about angry at this point because it was getting very late AL time and we were all exhausted. Then we got back to the Hotel and Cynthia went to find ice. WELL, this was about a 1950s model, one step above a hostel, in the slums kind of "inn" so the little man at the front desk told her to just walk in the bar and get some ice. She was flabbergasted as she has never been in a bar. Being Friday night, a few locals were there doing kareoke. Hysterical. So she runs back and gets me because I'm the only one in the room who finds this remotely interesting or funny. So we went back and enjoyed a little kareoke time and took pics with the ring-leader. By this time it was about 3 am AL time and we were about to collapse. Fun way to start a vaca! More to come tomorrow. :0)
