This fall, I went to Hawaii for a few weeks. The primary purpose was my friends Erica & David getting married, but coincidentally I had a couple friends who still live in Hawaii having their birthdays around the same time. It was a complete blast for the entire time I was out there. Catching up with friends that I haven't seen in years, partying, hiking, eating delicious food, and just relaxing. Since I've mostly done all of the Oahu activities when I lived there, this was the first time in a while that I felt truly in vacation mode. For instance I took off work, and didn't feel the pressure to explore and go sightseeing that I normally might when visiting a new place. Instead, I was sipping on cocktails and lounging on the beach without a single care in the world. What a great time! I also made a quick pit stop in Los Angeles afterwards to see some more friends, but I was working the week that I was out there and so it doesn't warrant an entire separate post this time around.
