Aloha!

“how we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.” -Annie Dillard

I’m spending my days in Honolulu! The rain followed me to Hawaii though. Yesterday was cloudy and sprinkled a little but was still amazingly beautiful. If you know anything about me, it is no surprise that I absolutely 100% want to move here! I know that happens everywhere I travel… but I really really mean it this time:) Oahu is the must stunning place… even on the cloudy and foggy days. I don’t know how to explain it- it doesn’t really make sense how wonderful this place is.

We are here visiting Bobby’s mom. (I highly recommend dating a boy whose mom lives on an island.) She greeted us at baggage claim with an “Aloha!” and real leis made with fresh Tuberoses and Orchids. (No, I don’t know my flowers. Yes, I asked her and wrote them down.) They smelled so good! Her husband and her took us to dinner and a quick tour of Honolulu. On Saturday morning, Bobby and I went to Waikiki Beach. I laid out and people watched while he went after the waves. I only put my feet in the water because I was scared to leave my camera on the beach:( That afternoon, Bobbys mom and her husband took us around the whole island to all the best spots and where the locals hang out- it’s so nice having our own personal tour guides. We went to Sharks Cove, Turtle Bay, and about a million other places that are so hard to pronounce and even harder to spell! (After the Tuberoses and Orchid notes, I slacked on recording everything.)

Okay, I’ve got to go to bed- time change is killing me. We are going snorkeling tomorrow and on a hike to Monoa Falls!

Sweet dreams.
