There are so many things to say about Hawaii. SO MANY! It was definitely a trip I needed to take for a multitude of reasons (the biggest one is that I was “burning out” hot and fast). I hadn’t had a “real vacation” since 2013 and directly following my one week trip in 2013 I lost my job, so I have some (for lack of a better phrase) trust issues, leaving work for an extended period of time.

However this time I just let go. And I’m really glad I did. Here are just a few of the reasons why. I’ll be posting a video in a few days that better explains everything I can’t in words.

• South Point Cliffs
• Zip-lining over Uma Uma Falls
• Driving the jeep ANYWHERE
• Snorkeling ANYWHERE
• SURFING
• Drinking by the pool before noon/just drinking by the pool
• Falling on my ass while exploring (yes, I count this as fun)
• Smoothies, ice shave, tropical drinks
• Hiking
• Swimming with Manta Rays
• Sleeping in
• Chasing turtles in the water (no turtles were harmed during this adventure)
• Sunsets
