HAWAII!!! I know I know I'm WAY overdue!

Ok so I know it has been a month since Hawaii but i FINALLY have time to blog about it! Yahoo! I mostly am just going to have the pictures and then tell where we went because i don't want to boar any of the people that still read this joke of a blog... :) 
We were so excited to get on that airplane! :)
This is us taking off from arizona! 


And bothering the poor man that was sitting by me... haha! He didn't seem as enthusiastic about going to hawaii!! I think he had been before!

Hehe we were about to take off

Finally flying over Hawaii! After almost 6 hours!
SO EXCITED!!

Beautiful!
Ok so Tori and I are really dirt cheap and have super crappy camera's so we took turns taking pictures with each others camera's so the first day other than the airport pictures are on her camera and we haven't had any time to trade pictures yet... Story short, once we got there Monday around 2ish we took our luggage into Tori's Cousins house and then went straight to the beach!! IT ROCKED!
------
Tuesday we went to the beach again and laid out and got super tan!!! (oh wait i don't think that's possible! hahaha) Ok so we tried... we went to a shopping mall and I bought that cute yellow dress that i wore over my swimming suit! Then we came back to the beach and went swimming and took pictures!!! 
Oh ya and this is the shack we stayed in! AND picked up on all the cute boys! :) haha
I heart the beach!
Don't worry all the boys wanted us! We were the hottest girls on the island! :)


I set the camera on this big rock and put the timer on and then ran.... well kind of hobbled out to the end of the rocks so we could take this awesome picture! haha don't worry i almost slipped and fell in! 
--------
Wednesday we went to West Maui!! Oh ya i forgot to tell you what island we were on! Maui :)
So we went sight seeing and went to west Maui which is this beautiful drive to different beautiful picture spots! Seriously the drive was along the ocean the whole time! I could lookout my window and whale watch the whole time! Whales would just popup everywhere! Just wonderful!
We went to this cool place called like Shark tooth rocks or something like that... i don't remember the name i just remember it being really pretty! ANd freakin clear blue water! non of this crapy muggy california water! 
Then we went swimming again at another cool beach!
The landscape and weather in Hawaii is so random! One minute you are on the beach and it's sunny and then all the sudden it's raining and cold. Or you are driving on this beautiful forest like road and then it turns to desert! haha This next place didn't have a name but it was absolutely lush and green! I loved it! 
excuse my nakedness we had just gone to the beach and were on our way to another one so i wasn't going to change. 
We swung on the tree vine like tarzan! haha
Then we hiked into this rocky area... don't worry we rock climbed in sandals! haha
This is the blow hole that me and tori almost died in!!! We were walking over to look in it. Because there had been no waves to create any splash or burst of water to come out... and right when me and tori looked in it the biggest waves came crashing it, and scared the poo out of me! good thing we didn't die though! That would have been a very sad hawaii trip! 

Next was an over look of that side of the island! 
B-E-A-U-T-F-U-L!
Then we made our way back to the area where we were and walked down a little shopping strip called "front street" or something like that and did a little looking around and then i had to take a picture of the sunset because it was beautiful! 
-------
Thursday we didn't do anything too exciting. It was the only day while we were there that it was SUPER rainy and cloudy so we couldn't go to the beach or anything. So we chilled inside all day and just hung out! It was super relaxing and i loved it! 
Then that night we headed to a vegetarian all natural pizza place! I was a little scared at first but it turned out to be DELICIOUS! I had like 6 pieces! Ok so it was thin crust but still i ate a lot! :)

------
The Friday came and we went to Hana. It's a little village/town in Maui that is very traditional to the old way of  life! It's so awesome to see everything! And it was breath taking! Everything was! The view the houses everything and anything! I loved it! 
We went to a black sand beach! we didn't swim or anything because we wanted to make it to the waterfalls and have time to swim and stuff! 


WATERFALLS! 


We hiked first to see the waterfalls and this awesome tree was in the middle of the hike! It was super cool! 

We kept hiking and then all the sudden we were in the middle of a bamboo forest! It was so coolio! We took pictures of us hangin on them and doing flips and stuff! :) sweet~!

on the way back down to go and swim in the fresh water pools.... The seven falling pools or something. 


We swam in the water and those pictures are with Tori... so i have this one! :)  I cliff jumped into some water! I found out after ward that there were signs saying we couldn't..... but i didn't die and it was fun! haha
thats the cliff! (where the people are standing!)
again we are beautiful human beings! 





-------
Saturday was spent at the beach! 

then that night we went to a wedding reception! haha i think that was the first time we actually got ready for the week! I definitely brought too many clothes i spent most of my time in my swimming suit!
-----------
Sunday we went snorkeling!!!! It was so awesome! I took pictures with my underwater camera but haven't had a chance to develop them yet so i can't wait to see what those look like! We got to swim with see turtles!!! It was awesome! I'm going to lie one swam right at me and i almost wet myself! I didn't know what to do! and neither did tori. But we were out there for a really long time looking at everything! It was awesome!






Then we came home and got ready for the night. we were going to hang out with some people. Tori's cousins roommates friends... I know it's confusing, we just went to hangout with people! haha it was fun! 


Ya i got super burnt from laying out before and after going snorkeling with the fishies! :?

----------
Monday morning we woke up at the butt crack of dawn and went to the top of a volcano and waited for the sun to rise! It was FAREEZING!!! and windy but totally worth it! We were above the clouds and it was totally breath taking! LOVE IT!
We went to the beach one last time but i didn't take any pictures from that day i mostly swam and went snorkeling again and went swimming in the beautiful water! 
Then we went back to the apartment and packed out things and headed to the airport! 
Don't worry!
We almost missed our flight! We only had 10 min left that they were checking flyers and then we had to wait in the longest line ever to even get into the airport! It was crazy! And we had to run to our terminal! Haha yup you read that right. We RAN there..... like in home alone!! Tori's backpack even broke and her crap went everywhere and we had to stop and pick it up! I just wish someone had a camera or video taped us because we would be millionaires!!! It was so funny! I couldn't stop laughing! But even with all the running and crazy-ness we still made our flight and got home safely!
The first three hours of the flight home (we had a red eye flight) i made myself study because i had a big test the morning we got back! haha then i got to sleep! We got in Tuesday morning around 6ish!  
Hawaii freaking ROCKED! And i wish i could go there all the time! I miss it all the time! It was the greatest experience ever and i'm so glad i have a best friend to share it with! Tori you rock! :D
