Well I am back from Hawaii and my GOD! I needed a vacation more than I realized. Although, I don't think I needed the extra pounds buuuut...I'll fix that later.

So! A few peoples have been poking and prodding at what my week was like so I figured I'd sum it up in here for a little bit.

FYI: I had a great time but I missed home, cause I love you guys 4laugh (told ya I needed a vacation)

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Planes...planes...planes!
So travelling took some time. We woke up at the a**-crack of Don to jump into the car and drive for an hour, park at the airport, go through the new security (Honestly, it's like a strip-tease in there these days. I don't mind it much but it seems a little much sometimes. I've been through it before but it seemed tighter for some reason), wait an hour-ish to get on the plane, fly overseas for about 5 hours, land in Honolulu, wait 2 hours, get a second plane, fly for 25 minutes, lad in Maui, get a rental car, drive for an hour to the hotel, realize the time change brought us to where the night life had only just begun and pass out early, lol.

Yeah, it was long but we got to watch Nanny McPhee in the 5-hour plane ride so that helped it move along. Plus the airline food is getting a little better. That bread was an odd color but it was good in the pesto, lol.

Hit Me With Your Best Shot
Ok, the weather was WAY warmer than home, but it was cloudy the entire time and it rained on us once. It was funny, too, because everyone was basking out by the pool and the beach and we didn't care. It was more like being under one of those mist-things at the fair, although the drops were a tad cold, so we ended up hiding beneath towels whenever it was heavy.

Once that one day was over, the rest of the weather was smooth-sailing. All we had to deal with next was the sun burns.

Ok, my cousins had been in Hawaii for 3 days before we made it there and my uncle was as fried as a chicken, along with my cousin, Geoffry(10). The two of them were quite a pair. The older one, Megan(14), had been struck directly in the forehead by a powerful tennis ball (She's on a tennis team) before they even came so she had a bump on her head and some black rings around her eyes. Add that to their Gerogia accents and my quiet/pale aunt and you have one corner of my gene-pool, my friends. And it doesn't stop there, I have plenty more relatives with multiple other querks. They just weren't with us, so they won't be mentioned, lol.

I'm Falling-You're Falling-Wwwwwhaaaaaaale!

Yes, we went on a boat for a day where we did some whale watching. Supposedly, our ride was the best one so far because we must have seen several whales together, doin' their thing. In fact, there were tons of dolphins in the area as well. The crew told us to make a lot of noise because the dolphins actually do tricks when they know you're there. Sure enough, a good twenty of them did spinning flips and even turned over and splashing the nearest people on the boat (we were going really fast, too, and they were keeping up as if it was nothing). On top of that, we also ran into a few turtles. One of which lifted his head out of the water to see what was drifting past and immediately disappeared into the water, lol. It was almost like a cartoon where they disappear in smoke, only in this case, bubbles.

AND, it doesn't stop there, oh no. The actual goal of the boat ride was to go snorkeling in a little area with little wind and lots of coral. Although, that wasn't really the best part, I checked it out for a bit but it was O-K. Plus, you weren't allowed to stand on the coral because you could cut yourself AND you'd damage the coral. The coral was really close to the surface in most parts and the area we were in was pretty cloudy (Years ago, although my memory is fuzzy, when we did the same thing, it was much clearer, blue and beautiful. This one was kinda like snorkeling in Rollins in comparison). So I just hung out at the boat and jumped off a few times for fun. They had a great meal waiting for everyone when they all came back in, too. I thought I was eating chicken. It was some type of fish! Really really good, though. I also fashioned my own peanut butter and jelly finger sandwiches with the stuff they left out, hehe. THEN we went back, lol. Saw some more turtles on the way. domokun

Que Es En Mi Cabesa?
*flips on music*
Oh, Dooley, you're so fine!
You're so fine, you blow my mind
Hey, Dooley!
HEY HEY!
Hey Dooley!
I heard the song on the way home and ended up putting in a different name by accident sweatdrop I know a few friends who would get a kick out of this xd

Are We There Yet?
Nope.

We also did a LOT of shopping while we were there. Interesting how my mom is magnetically attracted to Brighton stores everywhere, lol. Nice stores and all but she gravitates toward them xd

Sadly, I did not get much in the souvenir field because I am saving up for Fanime and it's hard to find souvenirs for friends when you don't want to spend much but you don't want to give them useless junk. News Flash: It's Hawaii. It's expensive no matter where you go to buy, lol. Although I did manage to grab one or two things for friends where I knew it would be perfect. FYI to KC and Wyatt. I found these weird little desk things with people in barrels. You take the barrel off and their naughty parts spring out. The females were definitely out of proportion in order to spring the stick-boobs an inch out but the males were all very endowed xd I didn't get them because they were too embarrassing to buy but just letting you know I was thinking of you xd

Hello! Hellooo!

Not only were all of these events entertaining, but I was experiences vertigo half the time unless I was actually on a moving object. So, when I was on solid ground, others might have noticed random stumbling as my world decided to rock a little to the left xd

No, no, I didn't hate my new world, I actually found it very entertaining. Another reason as to why Lisa is embarrassed to hang out with me and people think I'm on something.

I would be sitting in a restaraunt with family and, every now annd then, put up my hands and sway with whatever my brain was thinking, laughing lightly. Yeah, I probably looked like I had smoked something real strong, hehe. But, honestly, it was fun to do xd

And that's all I can think of at the moment! More details as they come to me domokun

~Souzou out!
