primarily hana, maui.

This is the last Hawaii post (I know I know, finally!). I felt badly dragging it out, but Mike and I always love looking back at old posts and reminiscing. I knew if I didn't edit these photos, they would just end up on an external hard drive somewhere and we wouldn't look at them very often. It reminded me of the dual purpose of this blog - to provide little snapshots of our life to all of you out there reading, but also to function  as valuable journal of memories for Mike & I. 

So thank you for putting up with all these posts. I'm excited to start sharing more about our newlywed life here in Winnipeg!

The Lonely Planet guidebooks make lovely travel companions*. The books provided us with top notch restaurant suggestions, interesting anecdotes about each region, and (best part!) directions to a sort of dangerous an absolutely dangerous, rugged path - one false step could send you sliding down the sharp drop off into the ocean.

(That photo of me trapizing down the trail does not accurately portray the sheer drop offs. I was scared.  But then I saw people with babies on the beach, so clearly I am less fearless than Hawaiian locals.)

You follow the twists and turns and good old LP eventually leads you to the most beautiful and startling red sand beach. And then you wonder, how the heck is Hawaii allowed to be so devastatingly gorgeous?



*Be careful not to speak too adoringly of LP whilst on your honeymoon. Mike made me a few comments about me loving my Lonely Planet books more than him. Untrue!
