Day 1..........

So day 1 was pretty low key, waking up way to early, breakfast burritos (yum), the excitement of knowing that your vacation has begun, surprisingly easy time getting through security, 5 hour flight (thank you God that i bought that Ipod video player. 5 hrs on a plane? BOOORING!!) To long a layover in another airport and finally we get to the big island. Once we got the tipycal pleasantries out of the way (i.e. renting the car) oh and by the way.....Chrysler......yeah i hate you and your stupid PT cruiser. That has got to be the most backwards car EVER MADE!!!!! Sorry to all you PT cruiser owners out there but that thing is just stupid. Ok so that out of the way off we go to get food, found some yummy tacos and proceeded to enter food coma land. Now full its off to check in and unload, we soon discovered that even the mere though of physical activity made you sweat in the humid environment so it was off for a dip in the pool. This soon lost its charm though, and we proceeded to the beach, this made me excited for it was the 1st time i would be out to photograph sea creatures with the housing. The experience was nothing short of amazing, eventhough the water was kinda murky, i was at the mercy of the choppy water and there were urchins everywhere it was still amazing. Not 5 minutes in the water and i got to swim and photograph my 1st of many turtles, the photos werent great but who cared it was a dream come true for me. Soon after the water got worse and i got out, huge grin on my face it was time for mai tais and to watch the sweet 4th of july parade. We found a sweet place with a happy hour and goooood mai tais, after that well we enjoyed the parade. So there you go, our vacation was off to a good start......
