Day 1: Ontario, CA to Hilo, HI

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Miles: we flew halfway across the Pacific. The pilot didn’t give us mileage.

The plane.
We’re like to arrive early to have a proper breakfast with fruit and vegetables.
Just kidding. Mom spoiled us! First Class baby.
We had a real breakfast with real silverware at 32,000 ft.
The clouds finally parted to show us the most perfect and powerful body of water: the Pacific. I mean, look at her! She’s flawless! Ugh. I faint.
I like stalking myself mid-flight.
Honolulu! 🌺🌺
We had a bit of a layover so we ran to an exit to smell and look at plants we’d never seen.
So, on all of our trips, I’m always on the hunt for cold brew or iced coffee, ALL THE TIME! Not here. We found a shop with instant iced coffee and an espresso and chocolate bar. This made me very happy. And hyper. Very hyper.
Imagine you just let your kid off to pick her favorite candy (or coffee) and then took her to her most favorite thing in the planet (a volcano that is just surrounded in basalt). You win mom of the year or decades! 🏆🏆🏆🌴🐠🌋🌋🌋🥰
Banyan Drive is named correctly.
The end of our hallway is just basalt and the Pacific! I may have teared up and also it started to rain.
Okay, in Hilo for less than 30 minutes and we have a rainbow. 🌈
AN ORANGE KITTEH! His name is Pumpkin and we will be friends!
Is that smaller tree an avocado? It has something that looks good.
Orchids around the hotel.
Banyan on our walk to dinner.
Our walk to dinner.
We sat down for dinner and I looked up and saw perfection. I ordered a print of this fire and ice before we even ordered food.
Pele will win the long game. I have no doubt.
We ate dinner.
We slipped on some water shoes and stepped in a bay of the most perfect body of water that ever existed. Yes, the Pacific. We are about in six inches of water.
Back at the hotel and the sand on our feet has a green tinge, could it be olavine in the sand or moss. Stay tuned to find out.
