We are going to the Big Island (Island of Hawaii) itself. She lives in Hilo currently. I’m so stoked! Never been before! @ktfran any tips if you go before Thanksgiving is welcome!
Nope, over Thanksgiving too!
I believe we’re going to Maui and Kauai. And I’ve never been!
The fiance’s parents are taking us because I guess they go every five years and watch the basketball tournament. One of the schools always in it is one the fiance went to. So a couple hours of two days I’ll have to do that 🙁
WE’ll be two days on Waikiki to do the Pearl Harbor thing and then M-Sunday on Kauai. Super stoked and can’t wait for helicopter tours and kayaking and all sorts of fun!
Well fellow Hawaiian travelers I look forward to us exchanging notes when we all get back 🙂 I have two cold weather trips before Hawaii so I’ll be ready for a real vacation 🙂
I am doing Hawaii as well! I am going beginning of Feb 2018 though and to Maui. First real vacation in a long time and first time to the island! SO EXCITED! If anyone has recommendations I am all ears, hoping to do the road to Hana, whale watching, surfing probably, visit the volcano observatory on Haleakala and a few hikes in the 5 total days I have there. I decided to keep it cheap too and book accommodations through airbnb, so I have a ‘beach shack’ basically on the shore of Kihei.
This will be my first time. So exciting! And we have Lisbon coming up for our honeymoon… right after our Sept. 3rd wedding! And then apparently we’re going on a cruise next June. I’m not a cruise person, but his uncle wanted to treat the family and we got the presidential suite, which has 4 separate bedrooms and a hot tub on the balcony, so who am I to say no?
I haven’t caught up in a while and I’ve missed so much!
@LadyE I’m sorry that things didn’t work out. I hope your break is nice and that you take care of yourself.
As for me, I sort of fell into a deep “i hate my job depression” and I’m climbing back out. Vacation helped. So here’s my last month in short spurts-
– Went to the crossfit games in Wisconsin and ate a lot of food and work out and camped and didn’t answer a single work call or email and it was fabulous.
– Officially applied to go back to school in January to pursue a different degree/total career change.
– Got my dad successfully through open heart surgery (the doctors did most of the work but I like to think I helped by being there 😉 )
– Did my first pedal tavern at a bachelorette party and taught the driver proper squat form.
– Have been on 2 really awesome dates with a nice dude. Super nice dude. And also cute. Third date planned for next week. Fingers crossed.I love your update Veritek. Especially the CrossFit Games part! I hope to go some day. Good luck on your third date! And hopefully your dad is getting better each day.
Yay! @veritek is back! Let us know how the third date goes!
I’m jealous of all of you going to Hawaii!
I’ve been texting with Awkward Texter every few days. I’ve had my mom and one of her BFFs from college visiting this past week and into next, and have a work trip coming up, so haven’t had a chance to schedule the next date, but I do hope there’s another.
I think I’m getting my dream dog THIS WEEK! I’ve posted about it on this thread, but I’ve been very specifically after poodle mixes but have been rejected repeatedly because they’re so popular. The rescue I volunteer with got a basket of poodle mix puppies over the weekend, and I raised my hand to foster-to-adopt! It wasn’t great timing due to my work schedule, but they’ve been so nice in working with me. They asked me which one I wanted (calmest one/not the alpha, please!) and he’ll be dropped off when I’m back from my work trip. I’m so excited/nervous. I love puppies but didn’t necessarily want to adopt one, but am told they’re already old enough to be crated during the day. I wish I could post pics to show you all how cute they are!
YAY, Copa, so happy to hear that!! Good luck! Also, if you and Awkward Texter hit it off, are you going to keep that name? 😉 Hehe.
Hope date #3 goes well, ver!
@Copa in my “I’m not 100% awake yet mind” I read that as “I’m getting my dream log this week.” Like you printed off a log….to track your dreams? And maybe you had it bound? ANd you were finally getting it back…..then the rest of the paragraph didn’t make sense.
Dream dog. Woof woof! 🙂
