The storm before the calm

Today is my last full day here in Honolulu. There have been so many things to take care of before my departure, it is comical. There are things I didn't count on having to deal with, but I managed to deal with them anyway and not lose my mind. Thank goodness things work out the way they do. I got everything done, and then some. I am now ready to take off on the most epic adventure of my life so far.


I want to thank Erik, for coming to my going away party, which I honestly didn't even want to have in the first place. Erik, Jose, and Shawn. Yep, that's it, no one else came. I have to say I was honestly disappointed that more people didn't come, but what are you going to do. Erik got me a cake, which I thought was amazing. We had a great time, despite the turn out. Thank you, my friend, for a sweet send off. 

I look forward to posting in the future, all of the things I will see and do, and although I feel so self-aggrandized by posting a blog, I will do it anyway, so you can all share my adventures.


See you on the other side (of the world!) xoxo

  1. Sorry I missed your going away party, didn't know you were having one :-( I'm sad we didn't have an opportunity to hang out before you leave between our different schedules, but know that you will be missed & thought of often. I will think of you everytime I transfer an item at work or go to visit Kara at the cubby hole (I mean apartment). I look forward to reading your blog and keeping up with you on your adventure. Love you Virgo!

  6. Can't wait to read about your adventures Nani. I thought your goodbye party was going to be Saturday night at Kaimana beach and I was there... Only to learn no party, haha, we made one anyway. Then karaoke on Sunday we couldn't both go because of the kiddo but Girish did, didnt he? He said that no one really came... Is that the goodbye party you are talking about? Anyway, you are loved! Have a ball and you will appreciate this blog later...
