See The World - Hawaii Part 1

To really see the world we must explore. We recently went on our honeymoon to The Big Island of Hawaii. I spent some time on Maui in massage and yoga training and I had really wished that I had the chance to explore the other Hawaiian Islands while out there. I was loving Maui so much I never left the island. I convinced Patrick that Hawaii was the place to go and he went with it, however Patrick was not excited about traveling 10 hrs. to go to what he expected to just be a few beautiful beach towns. I explained that Hawaii was not just what you see in movies or on TV. There is much more to Hawaii than fancy resorts and beautiful beaches. It was very tempting to book a fancy resort and pamper ourselves for 8 days, but we decided to be adventurous while our bodies still allowed us. We booked a rental car, a bed and breakfast, a cottage and a house. Ok so our accommodations were still luxurious. We were super exhausted after months of wedding planning and the wedding weekend. Getting on a 10hr. flight sounded great to me. Patrick treated us to upgraded seats ( a must for his long lean frame ) , apparently "We are on our honeymoon" only works in the movies. United was pretty good to us and we did receive mimosas and wine which was lovely. When we arrived at the Lava rock filled airport (amazing) it was super dark outside. After dealing with a super obnoxious rental car employee, we were on our way. Hawaiian Oasis Bed and Breakfast was our first stop. We drove around the ocean and up the mountain, back down the mountain and up again. Someone was lost and it was not me :) Finally we arrived at the oasis which was a beautiful home in a lovely neighborhood.
