(fyi: I did find a swimsuit that would work for Sn0wman. Mom will be playing photographer for me tomorrow :D)

So the first thing that we’ve done is go to the market and buy food for the week. The last time we were in hawaii we spent like… two grand on eating out, so $250 for a week’s worth of food is a nice chunk of savings, y’know?

And then I discovered OREO POPTARTS

my inner Thor flailed around in glee enough that I was making squeaky squeally type noises all over the place

we totally bought them.

And I also bought Amanda and Jenna their souveniers. They get tea. Lots of tea. Four bags of 18 packets of tea.

I know nothing about tea, so I am really hoping they like this stuff.

We’re going to have lunch (with el cheapo barely-contains-any-alcohol-what-is-wrong-with-americans beer) and then head out to Waimea Canyon. I WILL TAKE PICTURES.

I MAY EVEN POST THEM!

Didn’t post last night because wow, tired. But I am in Hawaii now! 

We had an adventure just finding the cottage we’re renting— it was really freakin’ dark, and we couldn’t see any of the house numbers. We drove past it probably six times before pulling over to ask someone if they knew where it was.

Moments later a police officer came by (probably to make sure any of the groups partying outside weren’t getting too rowdy), and mom asked him. He drove around, with us following behind him, and used his spot light to find our place! It was both awesome and funny. 

Though I hope the rest of the trip isn’t quite so trying!
