Hello Pkondz! I'm back to read about this trip!
The photos are beautiful! I'm using one as my wallpaper.
*shudder* I despise this song. Mainly because, being named Annie, everyone sang this at me when I was younger thinking they were sooooo original.
And then, because I'm apparently a glutton for punishment, I signed up to play in the pit orchestra for our musical senior year of high school. And the show we were doing?
On the plus side, I did learn all the awesome songs, like N.Y.C., that don't appear in the movie.
The downside was always turning when the director asked for Annie.
And having Tomorrow and Hard Knock Life stuck in my head for months.
Yeah, I wonder what is going to happen to Mark. Do you think Tai will be able to take him home? I hope he doesn't get eaten.
Ginger cats in a lions mane are so darn cute! My cat would never let me put one on him.
Next round:
1. What time do I leave the room for breakfast?
2. We launch on an all day excursion.
What is it?
3. Kay makes a new best friend.
Figures... She's an animal lover.
What is it?
Hint: Not a dog or cat.
4. We try a local baked treat that Elle thinks
is better than mine! What is it?
Hint: It's not been mentioned before.
5. Did you see it? Bonus points if you did.
6. How many beaches do we visit?
7. What do I eat for supper.
Hint: think local.
Ack! I'm behind again!! But I see you said you are about to post an update soon so I guess I will just take a stab at those tricky questions cause clearly I am still in the running to win this thing
What time do you leave the room?? Just you?? Ermmm...6:43am??
I'm just going to go with the herd and say something about a road to Hana?
Errmmmm...a tern? An Artic Tern?? Or maybe a dolphin??
What?!
I will explore my extensive Hawaiian baked goods knowledge...
...and say something totally unique like Cream Puffs! Whatever those are!
Awww nuts!
1
I don't know I've never been to Hawaii!! I guess lau lau, kalua pork, lomi lomi salmon, poi, haupia and or rice
Oh and...
Okay. You can post the update now.
Ya got lucky, girl.........
Nevertheless, I was up and out of the room by 8:00am.
And yes, I know I'm comparing USD to CAD,
but when you hand over a $10 bill,
it feels the same whether it's green or purple.
(Yes... purple.)
"His name's Chromosome."
"What's going to happen
when we start driving?" She asked.
"I guess we'll find out." I said.
I started the car and Chromosome
took off like a shot,
zoomed across the gas station lot
and zipped around a corner of the building
and out of sight.
Sucker moved fast.
And problem solved.
Yay! I said something to that effect!Today we were going to drive the road to Hana.
According to Wikipedia,
there are 620 curves
and 59 bridges to navigate
almost all of them one lane.
Sounds like fun.
Are you not listening?
Wow.
Beautiful.
Some people may not enjoy tight, twisty roads.
What's the worst that could happen?
Plummeting hundreds of feet to your death
in a flaming wreck as you scream
at the top of your lungs?
Worth the risk.
I asked everyone which banana bread
was better, theirs or mine.
That's beach #2 for those keeping score.
What I do know, was that there was
one pole, with three shower heads.
And while this boy, about 19 years old,
Elle and I were rinsing off...
I must admit, it was... interesting.
The boy must've been getting ready
to go golfing.
At least I assume he was.
Pretty sure he had some golf balls
in a pocket...
Because as he showered,
he pulled his shorts open a bit
to rinse... well, everywhere.
And as he did so, he sang a sweet little song:
"Washing my balls! Washing my balls!"
So I silently saluted them and their antics.
(And that's beach #3)
This place just screams Hawaii,
don't you think?
(And that makes 4 beaches for the day.)
Worth it, though.
Think it was?
Tell me if you think it was
or was not for bonus points.
Now it was time to turn around.
The road had been fairly hairy before,
one can only imagine what it would be like ahead.
I'd heard that it was filled with tight hair pin turns
and gravel in sections.
Moooving on.
We crested a hill and saw where
the streambed crossed the road.
(Why did the stream cross the road?
Tell me why for bonus points.)
As we passed the truck, a young man's
high pitched voice rang out
in the still, dry air.
"Lookit my bum! Lookit my bum!"
Elle's eyes were drawn to the sound.
She let out a little wail.
It was a combination of "ew" and "nooo!"
Sort of an "Ewwwwnnnoooooeeeewwww!"
She'd just experienced her first full moon.
white rice
"I can let you have a late check out of 3pm..."
The front desk guy said. "For $100."
I debated for a second,
then decided it'd be worth it.
But in for a penny, in for a pound
"Can you do any later?" I asked.
"How much later?" He replied.
"Hmmm... six o'clock?" I queried.
"Any later than three will cost $500." He stated.

Cool! That drive sounds fun!But I did pull over, early on in the drive
and I took this picture.
It's pretty indicative of the entire drive.
Again, so beautiful.We next stopped at Kaumahina State Wayside Park.
It was an overlook with a nice view of the north coast.
Cool! Nice touch!We got in line and shoved a pin in
this map as we waited.
Wow it's really dark!!We get to the bottom and...
it's black all right.
Aw that's nice. That's my favorite thing to do when I go to the beach.It was a fun and cool experience.
The girls and I spent at least half an hour
jumping the waves and having fun.
Awesome! One can never visit too many beaches!(And that makes 4 beaches for the day.)
Ooh that's cool, but also kind of spooky!
Well hi! Where ya been?

Wow! That's quite the compliment.
