in a hawaiian dream part I
YOU GUYS we just had the darndest time in Hawaii Have you been? You need to go but i wanna tell you the insider secrets and what's worth doing and what's not worth doing because money-- doesn't stretch far in the islands, my friends so i wanna talk about what we did and hopefully you can take a little bit from this for your next excursion to da'aina (that means island)
((yes we're gonna split this up into a few parts!))
if you dig looking over a never ending ocean abyss on your next flight over seas AND manage to NOT picture your plane spiraling down to your life vest failing, jack and rose esq, shark ripping off your limbs doom... wait till the 'fasten seat belt' sign is off and get up and take a picture from the window on the hatch door next to the bathroom-- the window next to your seat won't snap this beauty (I dig it)
including every palm tree you encounter OKAY so we were really lucky on this trip. James's SAINT of a cousin set us up in her old apartment vvv
^this was our neighbors side^ don't spend your money on a hotel.
you should spend as little time in your sleeping space as humanly possible
you are on an island, its 80 degrees and if you wanna sit and do nothing, go to the beach and lay
SO I recommend AIRBNB and literally get the cheapest place possible
you'll be staying in an apartment most likely, which will give you more of a local experience anyway!
it was really fun pretending we were locals and making friends with our neighbors for the week
:)

NEXT see if you can find your way to this hotel's beach James's cousin is a local, meaning she was born and raised in honolulu and knows all the secrets she knows what hotels you can sneak into pools at, and which you avoid she took us to the beach behind the Sheraton Honolulu and we surfed and layed and it was beautiful and the waves were perfect for us beginner dorks --
this baby's name, is Fire his mom is james's cousin, Maggie and his dad is also Fire He is from the Virgin Islands and he is Rasta
then you try to put on this Japanese floatation device made for infants and then quickly take it off cause it appears to be suffocating the baby THIS IS A REAL THING LOOK
now
let's talk about malasadas
now
let's talk about malasadas
listen, I don't have much to say about these because they are that good malasadas are a Portuguese doughnut and they can come filled with creme, haupia (coconut) or chocolate and they will change your life now, malasadas are found all over, but LEONARDS ARE THE BEST don't ask questions, just go. -- My last little piece of advice for today, is probably gonna be the most beneficial so when i first got to hawaii i was like okay i don't want to get a car that "looks" like a rental this sounds---terrible but when you look like a rental, you get cut off more, people don't let you in and frankly aren't very nice to you... BUT man i'll tell you what rental cars are like 70, 80 bucks a day woof so when we found a smart car place.... with SMART CAR RENTAL plastered all over the place I didn't even care it was $50 a day for 3 days we drove around the island like twice around town ALL DAY and only used 12 dollars worth of gas.
