Hawaii – 2017

Last Christmas, my brother and I each opened a handful of gifts from our parents. Inside each, we found a different sum of cash and a small wooden letter. Once all the packages had been opened, we were to combine our letters to spell out a phrase, except, the parents did not do a great job at scrambling the letters (despite their claims that they drew randomly from a pile), and we had the whole thing figured out before we even had all the letters: trip to Hawaii!

At the beginning of the summer, we finally took that promised trip. We spent most of our time on Maui, and a little over a day in Oahu. I had a ball getting some experience with my new 50mm 1.4 lens (which I used almost exclusively to shoot the trip), and today I am finally getting said photos up. But first, a short travel vlog:

Waiting for bags in LA

The golf bags did not make it, so we were stuck at the airport for a while sorting through lost baggage claims and bags which were booked only as far as LA but needed to get all the way to Maui #nonrevlife

The weary travelers

After a short night in LA, we flew out to Maui bright and early. Upon landing, we headed for lunch bc a) very tired and very hangry people and b) we could not check into the condo for a few more hours
