hawaii


this year mike and i wanted to go to hawaii for our one year anniversary. i feel like we've been planning this trip since my last trip to maui with my parents. they took me for my graduation present after i graduated with my bachelors in 2010. mike and i talked on the phone everyday and talked about how we would come here together. here we are.


day 1 was absolutely fantastic! we took a shuttle to rent our car from al's west maui vans- suuuuper cheap car rental in maui. have you heard of it? For 11 days we are paying $351.00. we are driving a classy, blue 2005 Dodge Neon. The only way the air conditioning keeps you cool is if you roll the windows down (aka it does not work at all haha) but we are happy with the price. no complaints here.





since we arrived in maui @730 in the morning, we were very tired from our journey. we ate "breakfast" at Sam Satos sharing a yakitori plate and a bowl of dry noodles. mike loved the guava canned juice and the sugar donut we also shared after. and he liked the food, of course because who doesn't love Sam Satos? 

then off to Costco. to buy some essentials for a good deal. then back to the hot car and a windy, beautiful drive along the coast to the condo. whales were splashing out of the ocean and we watched them the entire drive. mike was so impressed and we were both extremely excited. we made it to the condo. checked in. showered and took a little nap. Then we went to safeway to buy some household essentials and other groceries. 

we took a walk along the beach and toured around kaanapali, the places close to the condo. Took mike to the farmers market to get some mango salsa. showed him the ABC store. then we cooked dinner which we ate outside on the patio, watching the sunset and a cool big boat that slowly cruised past our view. absolutely beautiful. 

we are debating haleakala sunrise tomorrow early morning. I'm not sure i want to drive so far for it. I think snorkeling is on the agenda for tomorrow if we don't go to the summit. 

everything is so beautiful. i ask mike everyday, "can we please move here?"
