Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, and now Hawaii.
We arrived in Hawaii just to catch the sunset and sleep in the car near Pipeline.
Monday
(-) woke up cranky from jet lag/sleeping in a car
slept in the car again that night
(+) woke up ON THE BEACH
Nick discovered that the beach in the morning is better than a shopping mall-- salvaged a rugby football and sand pail
set up several appointments to check out apartments
Tuesday
(+) we got our very first apartment. It's got wood floors, washer and dryer, dishwasher, a full kitchen, balcony, and it's ON THE NORTH SHORE
(-)Slept on hard wood floors
had to convince Nick not salvage the used sponge on the side of the road for our apartment
Wednesday
(+) we got our own bed- $100 with free delivery!
stocked up on taro at the Waialua farmers market
Met Larry *
(-) potentially destroyed phone-- no internet access or phone!
tired from walking 3 miles to the nearest town
no sheets on a used mattress... yick...
Thursday
(-) took the bus down to Honolulu/Waikiki to replace the phone at the apple store
(+) found out the phone was okay!
got to show Nick why we're so lucky to be on the North Shore (he hadn't seen Waikiki/Honolulu before)
made out like bandits at the goodwill store to stock our apt.
Friday
(+) we got a couple of beach cruisers- $80 a pop
(-) mine got a flat within 30 minutes of riding it
we found out that the surf spot behind our house is known as "Hammerheads" because it's a breeding ground for hammerheads, but also notorious for shark sightings (!) Not that that will stop me...
Saturday
(+) got a leather recliner from a garage sale for $15
rekindled my love for lilikoi lemonade at the Waimea farmers market
befriended Maui, a Native Hawaiian artist (who hooked me up with recycled blankets and towels)
(-) lost my boyfriend somewhere and had to talk to people at garage sales to track him down
Sunday
(+) Stocked up on produce and acai bowls at the Haleiwa Farmers Market
+began the process of pimping my ride- I've now got a milk crate on the back to carry my junk. next to come- streamers, big cushy seat, and a horn.
(-) I've been stuck in this coffee shop for a few hours trying to jailbreak my iphone so we can get internet access without having to haul the lappy 3 miles into town. Wah.
*Larry will likely be blogged about in the future due to his well-rounded awesomeness.
