Maui, Hawaii

Well since my last post was such a downer, here is a MUCH happier post.

We have been back almost a week and its such a sad reality to come back to. I have to focus on real life now, and who wants that?! There is so much I could post about Hawaii but I am going to try to break it down into a few pics from the day with Highlights and Lowlights

Day 1- Tuesday, February 2


This was pretty much a day of travel and eating haha

Highlights: 
The anticipation of Hawaii

Getting upgraded to First Class
We ate at "Da Kitchen" which was authentic Hawaiian food

Lowlights:
Waking up at 4 am for our plane
Our tickets were lost and our reservation for the plane was gone

Day 2- February 3







We went on a boat tour at Sunrise and got to go to a Private Beach. Where we could snorkle, lay out, and play beach Volleyball. They fed us delightful food and then took us whale/dolphin watching. We finished the day at Cheeseburgers in Paradise which was average. haha

There was definitely some low moments, but in all honesty it wasn't bad. We were in Paradise for 8 days and not worrying about diets or how many drinks we consumed. It was a trip of a lifetime and I won't ever forget it! Mahalo, Hawaii. Thanks mom and dad!
