Im off to vacay in Hawaii for a few days. Yeah... poor me.

My pal Jen and I are celebrating the fact that she has finished the Bar exam and is on her way to being a real life, able-to-practice lawyer. Im terribly excited to hang with her since I havent seen her since I moved from Texas!

On the list of things to accomplish while in Hawaii:
1) Attend a Luau...not sure what this entails, but I've heard its like a day-long party on the beach? Could be interesting.
2) SURF. Havent been since I lived in Cali and Im soo ready to "catch some gnarly waves":)
3) Hiking in the mountains of Oahu Island: Explore the outdoors while burning calories... can life get better?
4) Snorkel: I forgot my water proof camera:( Oh wait, I dont own one.
5) People-watch/Meet and Greet: Ive always wanted to be the kind of person that could just strike up a conversation with anyone without feeling like I was bothering them. Especially at airports. So many crazy people.. all with different stories and different destinations. Problem is, I cant bring myself to do it. Im too reserved. Instead I put the headphones in my ears and stick my nose in a book.

So, during my 15-hour trip over to the Islands and my equally lenghty trip back, I plan to step out of the boundaries of comfort. By posting this, Im counting on your accountability. Keep in mind, Ill be spending a few hours in Chicago and San Fransisco...GREAT PEOPLE-WATCHING POTENTIAL. If anyone has any great conversation starters, you let me know.
And, in case you were wondering, Ill be documenting all mullets as well.
