So far i can tell you all that i love Hawaii :) the food , the weather , the people and atmosphere are all great . I am so happy to be here with Kathleen and 2 of my good buddies !!! Yesterday was amazing aside from my waking at 4 AM local time due to jetlag etc.... When we got up Kathleen and myself strolled over to Starbucks for coffees then came back to the room we shared with Toby ( now he is in room with Andi ) . When we woke Toby up we went for a really good breakfast .
After our meal which was so unbelievably filling we went on our " location scout " , just to see things and figure out what is where ... on our wander i was looking for a place to get some nice new kicks (shoes) and to check out an Ipod Touch , yes i am going to buy one shortly :) On our wander we came across some great deals on shoes but none of us really purchased anything aside from me grabbing a sew on patch of the Hawaiian flag for my hockey stick bag !
The weather was amazing yesterday and the sun was beating down on us ... this is my first trip that i decided not to bring a hat so the sun kinda got me abit yesterday LOL .... so we had to go pick up Andi at the airport as his flight came in around 130 PM , i drove there and had no problem finding my way but when we got there it was a tad confusing and we kept driving in circles looking for a good parking opportunity , then Toby suggested i reverse into an exit for a parking lot so i did . Toby jumped out ran across the street and Mr. undercover airport security came over with badge in hand and said " do you realize you made an illegal manoeuvre to enter a parking lot you should not be in " , my reply was " i am Canadian and lost sorry " somehow someway he bit it and i got away with my charm and even got directions from him and was also allowed to wait for Toby to come back .... hoping this is my one and only encounter with THE LAW here .
Once we got Andi we hurried back to the hotel , and rushed down to Legends bar to watch some hockey .... yes i hate you Montreal Canadiens , i hate you with all my heart ! but regardless we had a good time and got a pint into us to start the day .... then we decided to pack my backpack full of ice and grab beers and coffee mugs and go down to the beach for some public intoxication ! Now i want you all to know that i am scared shitless of open water , this means no swimming in lakes , rivers , seas or oceans . A few beers in and next thing you know i am dunking my head into the ocean ... honestly i was scared but i went through with it and survived . Now i can say i have swam in the ocean all be it not so far hahaha.
Just woke up , today's plan is to drive up to the North Shore and watch some surfing and eat at some good restaurants we have heard of from friends . Can't wait for this tournament to start , i am itching to get some ice !
