Chiquita Hat Wonderland

Once again, I must apologize for my absence on the blogging world. Man that sounds dorky. It’s hard to stay in tune across two countries, especially when suckering into my computer screen is always the last choice on my expeditions. I wouldn’t have any pictures or interesting topics to write about if I took that road. So this will be the last time I will say sorry kids.

So my travels up until have taken me across a good half of the US, up through the volcanic mountain ranges in the Hawaiian islands and back to the green rolling paddocks of New Zealand. Pretty good, aye! Hah, Life is awesome at the moment! No school, work, or rent to pay. However, as charming as that life sounds, it’s still missing the marshmallows in my bowl of Lucky Charms. I’m to that point where I’m eager to start working and being a semi-responsible young lady. Haha. To be fair, I have been piling up my CV (resume) and reference list. Spotted a few jobs here and there, and actually found a room to sublease until January! Its getting there folks. Yea yea.. the real world… blah blah haha.

Hey and I forgot to fill you in on my Hawaii adventures! The islands were beautiful. Maui and Oahu had their idealistic features and to tell you the truth, I would find it difficult to chose if it came down to it. I was surprised to see a lot of landscapes that seemed out of this world. I didn’t word that very well, did I? Just many of the coves and trails had an un-earthy feel, as if I was walking through valleys on mars or in a different universe. Especially, with the treacherous ‘ah-ah’ molten lava, giant swallowing tree vines, and infectious amounts of coral covering the coastlines. Not what you’d picture when traveling to Hawaii, huh? It was honestly really cool though.

The wedding I attended was gorgeous. Picture perfect. You name it. Loads of fun. The whole week proceeding the event was filled with extreme dance parties, an all day luau, evening cocktails on the beach, hula lessons, paddle and surf board sessions, one overly loved hotel room (more like a closet or cubby), and a last minute drive up the coast of the north shore. The food was as expected, average, and a bit overpriced, but I must not include the fruit in this downfall. Hawaii is like a Chinquita hat wonderland. The islands had any type of fruit, you name it: mangos, bananas, papaya, passion fruit, guava, lemons, oranges, grapefruit, necatarines, and don’t forget their infamous DOLE pineapple. Mmmmm… If I moved there I think I would start a fruit farm and simply vege off of that. Haha. Serious.
Anways I better help Cam cook tea (dinner) here. We have visitors today! My friend Jen Huber from the states just completed a semester in Australia is over here backpacking! So excited to see her! And off to Hamilton tonight to catch up with friends.

That’s all for now folks! Now quit reading and go out n enjoy your weekend!
Aloha, Jill
