HI TO FL - Last Month in Hawaii

Yes, its crazy busy time?!  What am I doing?! I'm not really sure - but hey here's a calendar!  

Let's make some plans!

Until next time.

Big Island Adventure

Note to self: Buy a waterproof camera.

Staying somewhere without cell phone reception - check.

Being intoxicated on New Years Eve - check.

Realizing the next day (I'm too old for this shit) - check.

Having wine later that day - check.

ha ha. a lot of things happened on this short trip to Hawai'i.  Being bit by mosquitoes, driving around the island, meeting new people, reuniting with old friends, staying at a bed and breakfast, hiking, snorkeling, kayaking to a snorkel spot, hiking up a mountain, eating awesome homecooked food, laughing like there are no problems with the world.  

I am seriously blessed, I had an awesome trip to the big island and got to participate in some awesome activities - I wish I could share some of them with you (see note to self - up top), then again, its probably one of those things that you need to see for yourself.  or go google it - Kealakekua Bay.

We even stayed at a bed and breakfast 1 day - check it out!  http://www.alohaguesthouse.com/ - this place is beyond gorgeous and I can't believe its my 4 or 5th time staying there!

Well, enough rambling for me.  For me, it was great to get away from the city and be in the company of a good friend.  I really didn't miss having my cell phone - I actually might disconnect it when I move.

Alright - picture time, I know most of you are visual people... so here are some pictures.

Plug in - My blog name!

Those evil cosmos on NYE!

2012 - Happy New Year

Wow... what a way to start off the new year. 

The last day of 2011 was a day that was very well spent.  I am currently in the country of the Big Island - with no cell phone reception, 3500 feet above sea level.  However, when I arrived, the weather was nice and warm - surprisingly Hilo was warmer than Honolulu.  Immediately, after a quick breakfast break Summer and I went to the beach - not just any beach, a beach accessible after a 2.5 mile hike through the jungle.  Needless to say it was completely worth it.  Here are some pictures!

Here is a picture of us enjoying a coconut - one that I opened with my bare hands.  Which isn't too hard actually.  The coconut with its husk is a huge coconut, you want to hit both ends along a shark rock to soften it, you'll need a bit of physical force to peel off the husk - then to access the juice, you strike the widest part of the coconut against the rock - not super hard, but enough to create a crack on it and just follow it around. and voila!  You get some juice and lots of yummy coconut!

After the beach... thai food, a long 1.5 drive - which of course, I napped the whole time... it was relax time, and of course party time.  What a better way to ring in the New Years than with a small group of people and of couse cosmos and green apple martinis.

(MORE PICTURES WILL BE POSTED UPON RETURN TO OAHU)

Happy New Year everyone!
