So trying to blog almost every day just isn't going to work. I can't remember what I did or when by the time I get to write. So instead my new plan is to try to blog by location. Just sum up my experiences in each place I visit.
So, back in Waikiki..... As soon as I got there and was checking in my friend Marcio came running up to me and hugged me, super glad I was back and said let's go to the beach. So we went to the beach. Then we got back and drank. I met this awesome guy names Shintaro and he likes to pour saki down people's throats... But it's ok because he's also a massage therapist and gives great massages. So a few of us stayed up late drinking.
Next day.. Christmas eve day actually. Once again, I go to the beach. Marcio makes out Christmas dinner - BBQ chicken, rice, salad, squash and zuchinni. And Rick - well, he went off in search of a choclate cheesecake at my request, and came back a solid hour later with just a regular choclate cake for dessert, It was delicious!
After we ate, and actually while we ate, and before we ate, we also drank. Played some Jenga... haven't played that in years.... Created freestyle jenga.. still not sure if it's a good idea. Anyway, eventually we get kicked out and move the party to the beach.... So we hung out and drank there... At some point I wandered into the ocean and convinced all the people left out that it was WARM (it was) and they should all come swimming... So we did that for awhile/ It was hilarious. The we drank more... Then we all got cold and headed home. I was SOAKED and covered in sand. Shintaro had to tell me about 6 times to go change my clothes so I didn't get sick.... Finally I did and I got a TON of sand in the bathroom. Anyway, changed and went back downstairs.....
Wake up christmas morning feeling like everyone else must be awake and I HAVE to get up because I can't waste the day... Brendan is already in our room cleaning, so I sit up and just see sand allll over the floor... Obviously my bad because my 2 roommates don't ever leave the room.... Also I see a sand covered flip flop that TOTALLY isn't mine.... Then I lean further and see it's mate, which isn't it's mate, but is my actual real flip flop... You have to understand that these 2 ff's don't look ANYTHING alike..... at all.. one was a black old navy type.. the other was brown, soft material and the strap was wide and multicolored...... soo yea, not even close.... I was bummed cause I love my ff's... the colorful ones... So I went downstairs and there wasn't a soul around other than Jesse working the front desk. So I said where is everyone? And he made a face that indicated they were all sick.... So I went on a search and found a pair of flip flops that looked a lot like the ones I had in my room, only opposite and with a lot less sand on and around them... I also found some of my other ramson belongings...
Then I went to starbucks. then had a nap after my coffee... then I convinced Marcio that we should surf... So we grabbed boards and headed to the beach. There were no waves... We ended up just paddling around and taking pictures. We actually drifted really really far out without noticing....
Funny story: we were talking about Shintaro and how we should have got him to come with us (we love that guy) and wondering if he surfed or even swam..... like less than 5 minutes later we see this guy come swimming in from soooooo far out, and it's Shintaro!!!!! So he came and hung out in the ocean with us for awhile...
After he left we realized that all the boats were super close to us and we looked at the beach and saw that we were like a mile out to sea.... It was a fun paddle back in... not... the wind was against us... It took awhile but we made it. Crashed on the beach for a bit then Marcio had to go to meet a friend. I stayed with some girls from Quebec. I roasted for awhile and then left. Went back later for a quick swim though :)...
Christmas night we drank lots, as per usual. And we watched Elf! SUch a classic.. haha it just isn't christmas without it. It was great because so many people there had never seen it before. Somehow I ended up until like 4 or 5 am again...
Woke up the next morning and SO didn't want to pack. NONE of my stuff was actually in my bag because when I got back to the hostel from the North Shore I had to do laundry - and I mean all of my laundry - because I hadn't done any since I was in Calgary..... so yea.. it had been awhile.... So I had like 30 minutes to check out but I thought instead of packing, a betetr idea would be to break into Marcio's room and just take armloads of clothes and stuff and throw it on his floor and leave it there all day and then pack last minute.... So that's what I did...
Went to the beach with Marcio for awhile. We were both soooo tired we just kept falling asleep. I did some last minute shopping, as if I had spare room in my backpack haha... Then finally packed, went to Teddy's Bigger Burger for supper and took it to the beach to watch the sunset. After that it was almost time to go so I just said my goodbyes and we just waited for my shuttle.
