The alarm went off much earlier than I would have preferred at 5:15am. I would have given anything to snooze it a couple times, but we needed to get up and get going so we didn’t miss our last intra-hawaii […]
Hawaii Day 10 – North Coast Tour
We slept in a bit after the long day and long drive. I was up around 6:30 and put on the coffee, with Noelle up soon after that. We were a little groggy and hung over from the trauma of […]
