hawaiian vacation

Even though we’ve been saving our pennies in a travel fund for over a year and booked everything half a year in advance to get the best deals, I still feel so incredibly spoiled saying we are going to Hawaii this week! Everything’s paid for minus the food and souvenirs, so it should be a stress-free, much-needed break from the bitter cold Utah winter and the daily office grind. SO excited to get there.

I’ve been slowly packing as I think of things then I’ll try to pair down to some mix-and-match outfits for all the occasions. I love packing, and usually sketch out my outfits or make some dorky Polyvore collage because I think planning is one of the best parts of anything!

On the agenda:

Maui –

• Resort stay
• Half-day whale watching cruise
• Full-on luau
• Road to Hana drive {with rainforests, waterfalls, hiking, snorkeling…}
• Hiking a dormant volcano
• Shopping/wineries/galleries and cheese-tasting in Haleakala

Oahu –

• Beach-front hotel
• Beach-walk, fruity drinks and lots and lots of sand time
• North shore to watch surfing
• Snorkling at Turtle Bay
• Pearl Harbor

I’ll be a bad blogger for the next week and a half, as I’m in crunch time for homework before we head out! Aloha!
