Alright alright, im supa behind with blogging. I’m just having toooooo much fun in Hawaii!! We actually depart Hawaii in an hour though..(sad).. so now I have time. And how do I spend my time? I’m watching Enchanted while I blog. Oh boy. Rough life.  Ok. My right foot is  covered in blisters. I know you probably don’t want to read about this, but I had to dissect my blisters after I went kayaking today, because they hurt an incredible amount. So.. before we made the trek back to TheBus stop.. I had to duct tape Band-Aids on my foot. My foot was almost completely wrapped. My foot felt sooo much better though.

Ok ok anyway, Day 1 in Honolulu (Jan 27) : We hiked Diamond Head. It was superr intense and difficult. And I feel like I lost 30 pounds from that hike. Im not saying I didn’t enjoy the hike. I absolutely loved it actually. The view from the top was extraordinary! I love earth. J We were definitely drenched in sweat by the time we got to the top though. (hope that doesn’t gross you out) . So after the hike back we went over to Waikiki beach. Which was very very busy with tourists. I saw maybe 2 Hawaiians. Anyway, soon as we hit the beach, we were in the water. It was perfect. Sucha gorgeous beach. I definitely fried though. I was purple by the time we got back to the ship. My shoulders were raw (they are still kinda raw actually.) I do look quite brown today though, so that’s nice. J OH! We went and got our Japan rail passes! (they were kinda expensive, but im just glad to have transportation covered!) So that was basically day 1 Honolulu. Oh and we decided its super hard to find dinner in Honolulu. We walked around until 9pm looking for food.. But everywhere we went was a bar. We finally found this pizza joint that made pretty bomb pizza pies. I forget what the place was called.

Day 2 Honolulu (Jan.28) (TODAY!) : I tried something awesome today, and I discovered a new hobby of mine. Im gunna have to invest in a kayak. Rachel and I woke up at the ass crack of dawn so we could catch a bus to Kailua (which is about a 30 minute bus ride from Honolulu.) Our mission: Kayaking. When we got there it was raining.. and that turned into mist.. so we kind of questioned what we were gunna do. When we first got there we just decided to cruise town. We found an awesome coffee house (made the best iced mocha ive had yet) and a cute little book store. (I found DEXTER!! The book! I was super excited, so I had to buy it! )  And then we made the trek to the beach. We found a cute little surf shop on the way, cause I needed to buy some aloe vera (because I fried yesterday) and I ended up asking about kayaking. It was sucha good deal, we had to go for it. So, Rachel and I kayaked out to a small island right off Oahu! It was a little nesting area for a shore bird. We felt so accomplished making it there without flipping the kayak! I was kinda scared that if we flipped it I wouldn’t be able to get back in. haha so thank god we didn’t flip. It was so cool though!!! We went right over a coral reef! It was kinda scary, but sucha great experience. And I loved it. And now I need a kayak. We successfully made it back to the mainland and found an awesome pizza place (it was the only food in the area. I feel like im living off of pizza now.) and then I dissected my foot and duct taped me back together.    Kailua was a really great adventure. Sucha beautiful city. Im kinda glad it wasn’t sunny because I didn’t really feel like I wanted to burn over my burned skin. It was perfect and cloudy and a little misty, but not cold!

So, as you can read.. I am having a glorious time on my great adventure around the world. We are currently pulling out of Honlulu. Away from the states. The real struggles start in two weeks, when we port in Yokohama, Japan! Im so ready for this to happen.
