A little present for myself


I haven't been on a vacation by myself in 7 to 8 years. I started feeling how wonderful it would be just to sneak away. As it turns out (it was a sign) the flights to Hawaii were super cheap. So a few girlfriends and I went for a few days the first part of June. It was a trip of many firsts for me. I went parasailing, and swam in sharks cove, and swam to a waterfall. I also tried octopus at Todai. Barf.... I wouldn't recomend it. It was fun to see my nephew and my brother and his family. It was so great to remember who I am. Sometimes, I think we tend to lose ourselves throughout the days and years. This was great for me as Jodi said "for many reasons". So I will leave it at that...... I am trying this year to not just endure my life but really enjoy it!
