Peace out, Hawaii

It’s been a while since we’ve updated the blog so here’s the quick recap before we set out for Fiji. The Big Island was bomb diggity. Thanks to the nice peeps (Bear, Zack, David, Shaun) that provided sleeping space for us. Good times included chillin’ in Waipio Valley, lounging in natural heated pools in Puna district, hiking in a crater, seeing lava flow into the ocean, getting lightheaded at 13,000 feet elevation, outdoor showers (although few and far between), and snorkeling with dolphins in Kealakekua Bay. Our last stop in Hawaii was on Maui. We surfed some fabulous couches here (thanks Jess and Chris!), camped at some sweet spots, and even spent a couple nights in the Garden of Eden thanks to John’s Aunt Amy. We pretty much stuck to our usual activities of swimming, snorkeling, hiking, and hanging out in our hammock. We know, stressful. But it hasn’t been ALL fun and relaxation. We did wake up in the middle of the night with 2 centipedes inside our tent, poor us.

Now it’s finally time to go international. We’ve sadly decided to send our nice camera back home (along with several other items) in order to lighten our load, but we still have a small camera and will hopefully be able to keep posting pics. We just added more to all the Hawaii albums if you’re interested and have 2 weeks or so to look at all of them So we’re heading to Fiji for a few weeks before moving on to Australia. We decided to put off New Zealand for either the end of our trip, or maybe a different journey altogether. Stay tuned for more…
