Last week the fiance and I decided we needed a little trip away.
Lucky for us, we had unused reward miles and know several friends living in Oahu, Hawaii.
For several months we talked about making a trip out to visit them, 
but dates and reward travel tickets never seemed to line up.
Thankfully, last week was different- plenty of flights on just the right dates.

In the 4 days we had on this beautiful island, we:
 
went surfing twice (aka paddled out to the waves)
went scuba diving and lost a fin
ate several home cooked sunset dinners
hiked one of the ridges overlooking the entire island
went to a karaoke bar
experienced the popular electric beach
ate laulau
had a picnic/photoshoot on the beach (photoshoot not my idea)
experienced the fish auction
and, went snorkling with turtles, sharks, AND a pod of dolphins.
 
I’m still having withdrawls.
Although I have been to different Hawaiian islands several times,
this trip was different.
As a result, I have fallen in love with Hawaii.
 
I feel so lucky to have friends over there- 
without them this awesome trip would not have been possible.
