Just about to cash out after the first twelve hours of the twenty-four hour layover in Honolulu. Made a full day out of it - hung out with Jim and Aurora, drove up the east side of Oahu with Jack, Xiao, and Allison, swam at a random beach (where i lost my sandals), got a passionfruit from a stranger (which tasted great but was totally gross process to eat), and caught the sunset from the appropriately named Sunset Beach on the North Shore. Honolulu itself didn't grow on me, but the Hawaiian countryside is gorgeous and the beaches the definition of what any beach wants to be. It was also way less humid and cooler than I expected - a tame 81 degrees out.
Xiao says these little dudes draw blood. I say he's a pansy.
Apparently Hawaiians (Hawai'ians?) only use about half of the alphabet, and they really dig words that start with K. While it sounds awesome, and damn near musical, it makes driving a pain. Next time you to have to take a left off of Kapahulu to Kapiolano, you'll see what I mean when you don't remember if you meant Kiluahiao. (That last one may or may not be made up, I can't really tell anymore)
