Surfin Tacos to the rescue

Alright, here goes. I know there will be many more of these to follow but I am now writing in quite a delirious state. Left Greenville this morning at 9:00 am and arrived in Honolulu at 5:00 pm, so that felt like 11:00 pm EST. We were up at 6am EST and are now calling it a day at 9:30 Hawaii time, which is 3:30am Greenville time. None of this is really relative to the title of this post but I'm getting there, just be patient. So that's 21 hour day with about 99% of it spent traveling. In planes. Over states and oceans. Sounds like a lot but just a hint of what's to come I'm sure. Slight hiccup in Charlotte that almost had me writing this post from a hotel room in Phoenix, but catastrophe was overted and we were able to board and get to our connecting flight Arizona. 105 degrees in Phoenix, not planning a trip there anytime soon. Smooth flights all around and were even treated to a double matinee on the flight to Hawaii, Soul Surfer-fairly sappy real life inspired movie but ironically about a girl from here at the North Shore of Oahu. Not great but not terrible, plus kept me from thinking I had 5 more hours on this plane. Then Marley and Me-same and same. Then Carrie spilled her glass of water on herself, me, and the MacBook Pro belonging to the girl behind us. Homegirl shouldn't have had that on the floor anyways, especially with Carrie Cockrill in front of you. Then...ahhhh. We land in Paradise.
(this was written and saved on 7/20 @ 9:45pm...did not get to anything about Surfin Tacos obviously. Stay tuned...)

So. Anyway. Hawaii is one of the most jawdroppingly beautiful places. Period. The mountains jutting out of the sea and disappearing into the clouds just about made me drive the rental Jeep off the road. I mean, this sh#t is insane. Got checked into our humble abode in Punalu'u. We are so close to the water if a slight storm rolls in I'm not convinced we won't roll out with it. The waves crash about 50 feet from our back door. No kidding, Carrie and I can stand in the sliding door of this place and you can feel the mist from the waves. Let's hope it doesn't storm...it's Hawaii...never storms here?!
