My Kauai Adventures

This summer I moved to Hawaii to live with my sister of a while and try something new even though it didn't last long I had the time of my life! For her 28th birthday we decided to take a girls trip to Kauai. At first it was just me and April and one of her good friends Carol. Then I got the best news ever.....my bestest friend Emily was coming out to Hawaii to visit me just in time for a Kauai. I was so happy I couldn't wait for Emily to come!! It felt like I had waited FOEVER!

Kauai was amazing.......probably my favorite island!! We did a lot of sight seeing. Hiking to waterfall! One of my favorite things we did on kauai. Was a 15 minute hike to Kipu Falls a 20ft waterfall..........after standing on top of the waterfall for about 30 minutes me and Emily decided to jump..................after jumping and getting back to the top April was like I didn't get a picture there was a guy in the way.........so I had to jump again! The second time wasn't as hard as the first! I just want to thank my sister for the BEST summer ever!!

Sperm Whale YUCK!

Today we did something that not many people would EVER want to do.......this was the most DISGUSTING and awful SMELLING thing I have ever experienced!! It all started yesterday when we over heard some boys talking about the dead decaying sperm whale. The first thing that went through my mind was that is so disgusting.....but the more I heard the more I wanted to see it for myself. We asked them how they got there and how long of a walk it was....they said it was down the coast of Turtle Bay and it was only about a 1 mile hike!! So I was like 1 mile thats not bad at all I can handle that. So this morning we set off for our 1 mile hike to the decaying sperm whale.......after about 2 hours and 9000 miles later we finally made it.....there it was, in all it's GINORMOUS glory.......I couldn't believe my eyes all that flubber floating around...it was rancid...it was a mix between rotten onions, B to the O, and any other thing that smells nasty.....I thought I was going to throw up I couldn't stand it! I wouldn't recommend ever hiking to a ROTTEN sperm whale!! Now I sit on the couch and I can still smell the rotten smell in my nose holes!! I don't think my life will ever be the same again....here are a few pictures to show you what I seen......if i could only add the smell for you so you could get a little taste of what i went through today!

Hawaii Baby!

My 2 best friends, Megan and Tara, came out to Hawaii to visit....we have been on some crazy adventures and have had the bestest time ever! I'm so glad I got to share this time with them it means a lot to me!!



We went surfing in the International Market place....that was really fun but I was scared we were going to drown haha!!



We spent the day at Waikiki and we all got matching Pearl rings and went shopping and had so much fun playing on the Buddha lady!



Snorkeling at Hanauma Bay that was really fun we seen lots of cool fish...we didn't see any sea turtles so I was a little sad about that!!



Aaahhhh sitting on top of the the Buddha lady's head!!
