Adventure!!!!!!








OK so I know it has been 3 months since i have been able to keep any of you updated as to what has been going on and i am sorry for that. But if you take the time to read the crazy story of our journey to move back to Hawaii you will understand it has been a busy time.

Well back when we brought the new year in with a bang I went straight into completely remodeling our Apt. So we were living in a full on construction zone for our last 2 months in Florida. While we were trying to pack up the few things we were shipping to Hawaii and preparing everything else you have to do along with getting all the clearance's for Pua (our dog) to not have to go through quarantine. Also along with all the normal things we had to do My brother had a wonderful wedding in Miami we went to. And probably the biggest let down we came across as we were getting for the move was all of the snakes in the grass. You know those random people that pop up in your life just to get what they can from you at any cost.

So after all of the hustling and bustling to get ready the day finally came February 24th the last things were shipped off the Apt was done we said bye to the last family and we set out for the drive to CA! Everything was going great we made it to Baton Rouge LA the first night and checked into a Red Roof Inn which was the worse hotel i have ever seen in my life. Thankfully we made it through the night and headed west where just past Houston in the middle of a bridge the car decided to die! Almost got hit by a Semi truck so we ran to the end of the bridge to wait for the tow truck. Which took us to the smallest one horse town we have ever seen and spent 2 days at a garage where they had no idea what they were doing. Finally as i was ready to leave the car there and rent one a real mech showed up and got it running again and 680$ later. so the next morning we headed out only to make it 20 miles and it all happened again. So this time i climb under the car and see a melted wire that i was able to fix for 10$ in 20 min problem fixed back on the road for good!!!! Once we made it past this it was smooth sailing other then Danielle's lost wallet somewhere in Arizona.
So we made it to CA and met up with some great friends where we stayed for our 10 days there and took care of their home and animals while they were in Hawaii. It was a great time to slow down relax and get some surf in. Since it was one of the worst winters i ever remember on the East Coast.
We showed up to LAX airport on the morning of march 9th all pumped to finally get on the way and got to the counter with no problems checking in our over weight board bag but they threw a fit over the dog and cage being 6 lbs over i stood there and begged long enough that we almost missed our flight be with another charge for some thing the lets us and Pua on the plane.
Landed in Kona and drove to our house that one of my best friends growing up found for us and it was better then we ever expected! 2 blocks from the beach a killer left right down the street and 5 miles to town.
So now i think i have everyone that read this far pretty much caught up as to what the last few months have been like.
Now it's time to get back to surfing a lot more and getting photos for everyone. We are leaving in the morning to drive to the other side of the Island to camp and surf for the weekend stay tuned for the updates and photos.

Once again thanks to everyone for their support!!!!!
