Hawaiian Weddings

Cuong, The Happy Couple, Me

After Fiji came my return the United States of America by going through Hawaii to see Lewis (my brother/former roomy/a best friend/the man) get married to the gorgeous and wonderful Annamarie.  I was so blessed to be in attendance to their wedding and especially being one of his men by his side to bring him to his wedding day.

Adventures on the Big Island

This last week (Wednesday thru Tuesday) I was spending time having adventures on the Big Island of Hawaii with my younger brother, Aaron, and his friend Randy and if you continue reading, you’ll understand what an awesome week of adventures it was!

What a trip it was!  I saw so much during the short amount of time we were on the island and so glad I was able to getaway. It wasn’t the cheapest vacation, however for everything it cost me right around a thousand bucks.  Not too bad. 

The flight there and back was only around $400! We ended up spending most nights in the Kona Islander Inn which only ran us around $80 a night (with tax) for a place right in downtown Kona.  Our rental car ran us only $180 or so for the entire week we were there, and since they were out of the vehicle size we paid for, they gave us a free upgrade into a nice SUV.  The rest of the money was spent on food (expensive), drinks, entertainment, and gifts.  Overall, though not a cheap trip, it was still cheaper than most spend and it was completely worth it.
