honeymoon update: week 2!!

sunday - we decided that this would be our day off!! we stayed in and watched football all day. woohoo!!

monday - james and i went snorkeling back at kapalua beach. unfortunately, the water was choppy, and we saw the crazy stalker fish again! i felt sick, it started to rain, we went back early and i tried to feel better and we watched the sunset.

tuesday - james got me dramamine, so i took it all day but didn't totally feel better. walked to lunch, randomly found a japanese restaurant using some new app on james' iPhone. they served appetizers, and we had fun trying things from tempura to ribs to oysters to cow tongue.

wednesday - we drove up to haleakala in the morning and i felt slightly better. i wasn't feeling the best, and that was with the dramamine. it was super cold at the top of the mountain and totally awesome views. it was interesting to look at all the clouds from above!! and a few moving through you. i slept on the way home from the drugs and we relaxed and watched the sunset again on the beach. this time, i jumped in the ocean in my clothes, and it was so much fun!! it's really nice and warm, no matter what time of day. :)

thursday - we tried to snorkel at the first spot, but it was totally choppy, and lots of crap in the water like leaves/tree branches so went to the best beach and relaxed. i love the way it sounds when we're snorkeling!! it's like rice krispies (or rice bubbles as aussies say) in the ocean!!

oh, and i love all the fresh fruit here!! the pineapple is unbelievable - like dried pineapple since it's so sweet. i also like the star fruit. it's like a pear, apple, and orange had a baby. hee hee!!

friday - hung out at wailea beach, saw 007, and ate at a thai place right next to the movie theaters. it was nice to relax today before we're off!!

saturday - took the ferry back to ouahu and filed the police report for james' camera and enjoyed one more night at the moana surfrider!! i'm so spoiled!!

oh, and i can't remember if i wrote about this in my last blog entry, but be careful of the ferry in hawaii!! it says it's leaving at 6:30, but it always leaves half an hour early. get there an hour and a half before it leaves, so you can check in and get a good seat on the ferry. i really don't understand how it's so hard to leave on-time or just change the time on the tickets. i'm sure i'm not the first to encounter this...

all in all, james and i totally loved hawaii!! it's weird to be back now and wearing socks for the first time in a few weeks. luckily it's not cold or rainy here yet, so it's not like our last big trip when we came back from australia with great tans, and it was super cold and wet. a nice slow transition into reality is always nice!!
