ALOHA HAWAI'I

We snuck away from NYC for spring break this year and on our return everything from the taxis to our very own apartment smelled horrible to us both. It took a few days, ok it took a week, to acclimate back to the pace, smells and noise of our beloved city, but we are back and we love you NYC, but I'm still in awe of Oahu. I catch myself day dreaming daily of the rides along the coast in our open air jeep taking in all that beauty and wondering if the inhabitants take it for granted. On the plane home we had already started plotting a way to get back to Hawaii and explore more islands.

Here are some of our favorite places and memories...

Hanuama Bay, Oahu
