Have you ever had a vacation from hell? Well, that is how mine started out. The night before I was to fly to Hawaii I got sick, stomach flu sick! Meaning no way I was going to make my flight. So we had to bump our flight to the next available one which was three days later. Yep you heard right my nineday vacation turned into a six day trip. The next flight we were able to make and headed off to Hawaii. The airport in Kona is the smallest most interesting airport I have ever been to. One reason is you exit and enter your plane right there on the airstrip.

The second reason is it is all open air.

So weird to me coming from Washington where everything is indoors.

After we arrived my friend who lives in Hawaii took us to a restaurant on the beach and we had sushi. I love sushi but I have had way better sushi by where I live. It did look pretty though.

Even this restaurant was open air. We sat on the balcony overlooking the ocean it was amazing.

Then that night hell broke loose again. My friend got sick. Which meant… well you know what it meant a very lame begging. It is a good thing I brought my sewing with me

I have all of the pictures I took in my gallery feel free to take a look.
