Holiday in Hawaii

Hello precious blog readers,

To start things off, I'd like to apologise for not blogging more consistently. And yes, that is how the Aussies spell apologise. Writing is hard and takes time. With soccer season over now, blog about that coming soon, we should have a bit more time to actually make some more content. Enough housekeeping, lets talk about our vacation to Hawaii!

Most every year around labor day, a few of my Michigan State computer science friends get together for a reunion. Usually, we visit a city where someone from the group has moved to. It's been a great tradition that has taken us to some awesome cities around the USA. This year, with Allison and I in Oz, we convinced a few the of CSE goons to meet us halfway in Hawaii.

This was my first time in Hawaii and Allison's 4th. Her grandparents live there during the winters so Allison was our Hawaii expert for the week. More specifically, we were in Kauai, near the city of Poipu on the southern part of the island. We did all sorts of stuff. Let me tell you about it, through pictures. 

We were lucky enough to stay in a condo right on the water. It was magical in every sense of the word. This was the view from the lanai of the condo.

We went on hikes. Here is a picture of us on the Kalalau Trail.

We went to this beach for sunset. It was pretty neat. It was Tunnel Beach near the start of the Napali Coastline. Allison, Michael, and Diana snorkeled until it was too dark.

We went surfing. Here's a few of us lookin' sexy at the Sheraton/Kiahuna beach.

We watched the first Michigan State football game of the season, as is tradition.

As this was our first time back in the US, we needed to load up on our favorite American snacks. 

I just looked through all the pictures and wow, we did a lot over the 10 days that we were there. So much fun with our friends in a beautiful part of the world. So happy we made the trip. 

That's all I've got to say about that.

Fun Fact: 

Not super Australia specific, but we saw a bunch of bees on the back of someones car. I think that it was a colony of bees on its way to find a new home. Allison calls it "House Hunters Bee Edition.
