okay. havent updated in almost 3 weeks. and i have alot to say so brace yourself. and if you plan on reading this whole thing, youre insane.
hawaii-
ive come to the conclusion that i adore airports. i love how theyre so anoynymous. i just like them. they make me feel really relaxed. plane ride sucked major ass. layover at LAX. then 5 hours to kona. ew. i think i read two books on the plane ride. we went with our family friend family jensens. i sat next to the 8 year old livi on the plane ride and she talks alot. airport burger kings are insanely expensive. get in and were all sooo tired and our resort is absolutely gorgeous and all i wanted to do was run around and take pictures of the ocean. friday. ok im thinking we went to the black sand beach. yeah, because we had to take this 2 mile hike down to the beach which felt like a 45% downgrade. in flipflops. anyways the beach was so pretty, but i have tons of black sand like in the lining of my white bikini. yeah i know. so we hike back up and drive to this little home-y shopping square and ate at this cafe. the jensen kids dont eat anything. i dont know how they do it. all they ate the whole week was like, pizza. anyways, to get anywhere from our hotel you have to drive at least like an hour and usually past all ancient lava fields where people take white coral and make what i call "hawaiian graffiti" lol. its really cool actually to see what people wrote. saturday, hmm. hotel beach day. the beach outside the hotel was the most perfect beach i have ever been to in my entire life. i seriously could have sat there the entire vacation but my mom wouldnt let me. there wasnt even any seaweed, rocks, ugly fish, nothing in the water. and it wasnt as salty and cold as california water and it was all teal and clear and pretty. <3. we went with the jensens and explored kona. went to the farmers market and bought tons of great jewelry and has hawaiian shaved ice and macadamia nuts. yesss. now sunday was an exciting little day. we went out to where all the volcanoes were. at least a 3 hour drive involving alot of hiking to get to anything. we went to some smokey thing first, i think it was just steam or something from the ground. then we went to the lava tubes which are little caves you walk through that are actually lava which was kinda cool but i got some awesome pictures on the way out, there was soo much greenery, it was like the rainforest. then we went out to the actual lava fields where you can watch the active volcanoes. hard to do in flip flops. im thinking or writing a hiking in flipflops book. i think i could make bank lol. anyways, it was soo cool, it was coming out of the rocks into the ocean and made really pretty colors and was flowing down the mountain...it was kinda scary though lol. monday we were supposed to go to a luau. so we head down to the place where theyre having it and it is absolutey relentlessly pouring rain. and would not stop. so they were handing out ponchos and we were all wearing them and hiding under them trying to eat under them, it was sooo funny. they ended up cancelling it and giving $$ back because it would not stop raining. tuesday i almost died. k not really, but it was scary. we went on this adventure to a green sand beach and had to rent a SUV with the jensens, right. and we have to drive for like 10 miles over totally bumpy rocks and shit until we get to the oceanside, which isnt even the beach. so james goes up this huge hill that looks like a steep ass sand dune from the side to try and turn around so we can take another route. and the SUV gets stuck at the top, and lucky me, is on the side that was slipping, and i could see the rocks sliding out from under the wheels, and jolana is cursing in czech and its madness. and were all freaking out and the car is like so close to rolling over down this stupid fucking hill. so we all get out and tom and james use teamwork to get the stupid car back down. scary. we end up doing some more off-roading and another hike to the beach, which had HUGE waves and no showers. lol. the sand got everywhere. i mean it. wednesday was a lazy day. i was going to go surfing but they had a spa in the hotel and i really wanted a facial. so i go get a stupid facial which was great at the time but had this effect of making the skin on my chin really tight for the day after, then eventually making it all peel off and making it look like i had horrible acne. it was terrible. thursday we took a plane to oahu to see pearl harbor, which wasnt as affecting as i thought it would be. i found it kinda boring. i was more interested in hearing about how we nuclear bombed japan back. notice how they fail to mention that while japan caused us minor devastation compared to how we killed tons of innocent people and theres still radiation in their country. good going, fdr. then we drove by waikiki beach and kinda walked along it, which was awesome becuase i LOVE crowded beaches for some odd reason. with lots of things going on. there was a pretty sailboat. haha, i sound like im four. friday we had to leave, but the plane departure wasnt until 8 so we drove around the island and shopped and ate. then flew home. i couldnt sleep in the plane, i cant sleep in any kind of moving vehicle at all. i read 5 books the whole trip. on the layover from kona to oahu (we had two layovers this time. hell.) i was sitting in the waiting room, which had really cool swingy chairs haha, and was like people-watching these two punks kids. they were really intersting, i dont know, i like to watch people. anyways one was like drawing some weird picture and the other was totally rocking out and the caught me looking at them and started talking about it, so i put on my sunglasses. at ten o'clock in a dark crowded airport. yeah. and i continued to people watch haha. the plane was HUGE. it was one of those double aisle ones. and soo many people i loved it. and huge movie screens. not that i even watched the movie, but still. and i ended up freaking 3 aisles back from punk kids. how embarassing. flight from lax to mccarran was nice and short. and i nearly had a panic attack waiting for my luggage to come in on those goddamned luggage things. im always paranoid the airlines will lose my luggage. i would sue. then alyssa and sherry came in and got me and we headed to san diego, yess.
san diego/imperial beach-
i had to pee really bad like an hour and a half in, so we stop at this dinky gas station in the middle of bfe and get ice cream. and the little tag on the strawberry was folded over so you couldnt read the whole word, so alyssa says to the girl working, ill have strawberry, and she looks at alyssa like shes totally stupid and says, "we dont have strawberry, thats rawberry " wtf. i was dying. how stupid can you be, seriously. anyways so we all started calling strawberyy rawberry lol. when we got in there was this huge sandcastle building competition and this street market thing. they had all this cool stuff, but it was expensive, ew. i got a hat and sunglasses. the condo was sooo cool. me and alyssa had the entire top floor it was awesome. and we had soo much food haha. we watched this huge fireworks show on the pier at night, it was pretty. i love fireworks. the next day we all went out and walked around the beach and looked all the sandcastles, which were crazy awesome. i wish i could make super sandcastles. we went and walked around the street fair thing. i think thats it. that night me and emalee and stephanie and alyssa went and stood on the balcony in the front, over the street and all the shops, becuase you could see the fair, and yelled at people walking by. it was funny. we'd be like heyyyyy to everyone that would pass. it was sooo much fun. it became our nightly ritual haha. on monday we went shopping at the huge mall in san diego, three floors yesss. i only had like 45 dollars so i bought this really rocker leather bag from nordstroms for school and a shirt at abs for like $13. score. it says "its not how you get up. its how you get down." i love it. on the way driving there we saw this car fukll of hot guys and me em and steph were yelling at them and they followed us trying to talk to us, but the lost us at the mall. we were like dang lol. they were like 19 though haha. we ate lunch at this place called dicks last resort. they were supposed to be mean to you but our waiter was very friendly. he gave us crayons and balloons, it was funny. we went to seaport village too, and rode the carousel. em got this funny princess bracelet for tawni. the whole car ride we were singing at the top of our lungs to kelly clarkson to anyone that passed by. it was soooo much fun. i love san diego. its so cozy. and the coronado bridge is fun. i didnt realize coronado was the town we walked around in last summer when tawni went with me. i remembered where all the little stores were, and recognized it from the place we bought antihistamine for my jellyfish type thing sting and the pollyanna store haha. either tuesday was sea world or tuesday was rest day. im thinking sea world. we went on the raft ride and i got completely drenched. i was wet the whole time. we decided you could live at seaworld.
