It’s hard to believe that our trip to Hawaii is only a week and a half away. With a little help from my friend (and current local) Emily, we’ve managed to put together a pretty substantial list of things to see/experience while Chris and I are there. While I doubt we’ll manage to squeeze in everything I’ve listed below – it definitely gives a great jumping off point. I can’t wait to follow-up post-trip with photos and highlights from our adventures!
