Even though my flight was at 8:50, I was at the airport by 6 since my mom had to take me there before she went to work. Traveling alone isn’t all that fun since there is no one to talk to while you’re waiting. The flight was pretty uneventful, the plane was pretty empty so I got the row to myself. Sitting behind the first class seats I also had extra legroom, not bad for first time flying solo.

Jae was at the airport to pick me up, he greeted me the Hawaiian way with a beautiful set of orchard leis. We then went bak to the condo, Maui Banyon to freshen up. The condo was nice, 1 bedroom, 2 bathroom, a full kitchen, dining room, living room and washer and dryer. The weather outside was very nice, it was a bit cloudy and windy but really warm. After steak sandwiches we went to the local Safeway to buy some groceries. Since there was a kitchen with all the cookware, making our own breakfast was a no brainer. We also bought some ice cream and some other items for lunch tomorrow.

Soon I was out and about. A few minute’s walk took me to a shoppinig plaza, there I looked at all the Hawaii t-shirts, snorkling gear, sarongs and jewelery. Seeing a sign for Hawaiian icecream, I decided to try a scoop, afterall it may just taste different. The chocolate macademia wasn’t really good, I prefer creamier icecream, and this icecream wasn’t too creamy and the nuts were not macadimia, they were brown and I couldn’t quite figure out what it was. By the time I finished checkinig out all the stores it was 6 and the sun was setting. I walked across the street and went to the beach. The sand is very clean and soft different from the ones in San Diego. It felt really good to sink your feet into the sand as you walk. There were about half a dozen people there just walking around. I took a few pictures and then sat down on the sand to enjoy the sunset.
