maui, waikiki and everything in between

Hi bloggers, sorry that I have been MIA for a while now. I have been in the land of Hawai'i enjoying a well deserved break! I am back at work doing the whole 9-5 thing, it is a far cry from last weeks endless Mai Tai's and floating along the water at Waikiki beach. Had 3 days in Maui and 8 days in Waikiki.

I had the most incredible time away these are just some of the things I did;
Drinking bottomless bowl-like cocktails
Shopping (Forever 21 and Victoria's Secret and M.A.C. makeup were favs)
Swimming
Watched the sunrise on a 10,000 ft high mountain in Maui
Off roded in a Jeep to see the infamous wave Jaws
Ate fish tacos
Discovered Cheeseburger in Paradise
Went to a Luau
Visited Pearl Harbor
Had New Years Eve at Aloha Tower
Made a friend from Canberra wearing the same Kookai dress in Marigold as me
Drank and enforced a 3 tequila shot minimum on New Years Eve
Met the wisest guy at a bar in the middle of a car park who will know be known as JC
Hitched a ride home in the back of a random's ute with 10 other people instead of waiting in the 2 hour cab line post New Years Eve
Attempted to bike ride (it was a skill I was deprived of after the whole falling off a bike scenario in the early 90's)
Saw 40ft waves at the North Shore
Drank too much Bud Light
Watched the Ron Artis Family Band play
Watched my bf paddle board
Visited the Arizona Memorial
Got amazing hand painted flowers on my toes from the best nail tech I have ever experienced
Attempted the world's largest meal at the Cheesecake Factory
Got "laid" (see what I did there)
Met up with my lovely VT who got engaged a day later!!!
Learnt incredibly annoying songs courtesy of tour guide Ron

It was amazing, incredible and needless to say I want to now move to Maui it was gorgeous. I promise to share some photos once I actually get through the hundreds and hundreds of them all!
