our final stop in hawaii was a night at in a lux resort on the north shore of oahu, because, you know, why not?! we relaxed, pampered ourselves, and i drank at least 3 frozen virgin margaritas by the pool, which was exactly what i needed.
great way to end out an amazing two week adventure.
after an amazing week with the family on the big island, chris and i fled to the garden island, kauai, for another week of solo adventure
and it was EPIC. jungle hiking, surfing, beach bumming, canyon viewing and helicopter cruising makes one hell of a week. and a pretty awesome way to ring in the new year.
we spent our first week in hawaii with chris's family celebrating the holidays, and doing a lot of adventuring together.
i saw my first black sand beach (which blew my mind) we hiked around volcanoe's national park (touching dried lava and standing on a lava lake, whoa), beached, snorkled, pooled, and ate a whole lotta pineapple.
i mean, i just haven't found the time to edit my pics from hawaii (hence the lack of posting since i've been back). so here's an underwater pic from snorkeling on the big island to get me started. it's completely out of context but hey, it's a start.
hopefully i can motivate to get going on the 2014 version of this here blog
we're back! after two relaxing and adventure filled weeks away, 5 different hotels/houses, and 8 flights we're finally back in brooklyn. well, we actually got back last saturday, but it pretty much took me an extra week to get accustom to real life again.
and now 2014 is in full swing and moving a million miles an hour. gonna try my hardest to keep up
