This was such a relaxing, low key weekend. I ran every morning, read each day, consumed one alcoholic beverage the whole time and have never felt more connected with my body. Out of all the outfits waiting to be worn out-- this was the only one that really made it. Was good to wear no makeup-- if anything just blush and eyeliner, didn't curl or apply product in my hair--truth I only washed it once-- gross, I know. I even brought my eye glasses along, laid on the beach till the very last minute that I had to leave to the airport- with sand and tanning lotion still on. I just wanted to rest everything and that went all according to plan.
This was my post-meal after ziplining and my classic meal I eat every time I'm in Hawaii (except the malasada-- wasn't fond of the filling). This was also the only time I ate outside of Waikoloa since everything is so spread out. But here are other foods I enjoyed during my trip that was walking distance from my resort.
Probably should've nosh'd these instead of blasting it all on here.. It looks so much better that way too. Next time. Oh.. and I will never say no to these! Nikki + chocolates = a match made in heaven :)
I love the picture above because we took it right after we finished zip lining and I still had the butterflies in my stomach. Wish I could relive that moment all over again. The guys recorded their flight in air but I was too afraid I'd drop my phone. Here's a super low quality snippet of me fidgeting with my ring before I took off.
The weather wasn't cooperative the majority of my trip but in hindsight it really forced me to step out of my comfort zone. Typically I imagine my Hawaii vacations to consist of laying on a beach 99% of my time (getting a tan) and the other 1% is shopping. This time was definitely different. I have always wanted to go zip lining and knew this was my number one priority when I arrived. We were a little apprehensive since it was beginning to rain heavily but somehow that added an adventurous tone to the whole experience. They provided raincoats, strapped us in our gear then we signed our lives away. We glided down 9 zip lines that passed some of the best scenery I have ever seen in my whole entire life-- 450 feet above the ground, soaring 3300 feet across at 50mph directly over a 250 foot waterfall. This is an absolute must do if you make it out here. Oh and make sure you put on bug spray! I don't know how it's even possible to get 15 mosquito bites on my 2 legs in less than 1 hour but it happened and I'm not complaining.. because yes, it was worth it :)
