I know the blog has Southeast Asia right there in the title, and that Hawaii is not in Southeast Asia, and therefore should not be on this blog, but here it is anyhow: Our trip to Hawaii.

The trip started with a hiccup.  When we got to the airport, excited as hell to get to Hawaii for our first time, we learned that Ashley, God bless her, accidentally bought us tickets to and from the wrong island.  Whereas we were planning for a trip to Kauai, Ash had booked us on a flight to Maui.  Honest mistake and, one might think, an unavoidable marital fight waiting to happen.  but it didn't.  We kicked that hiccup's ass and booked an inter-island flight.  So suck it.

Half of our trip, give or take, was spent camping on the Napali Coast, a rugged 20 mile stretch of cliffs and sand unfit for roads and the unadventurous.  We made 11 miles of trail at a breakneck speed of 7 hours.  That doesn't sound fast, but carrying a heavy pack along constant ups and downs of goat trails, along steep cliffs, we moved at a steady clip.  And again, a lesser couple might have gotten into an argument at some point on that trail, but not us.  We kicked that trails ass and made it to the most lovely campsite on Kalalau Beach just before the sun set.

I'll let the photos speak for themselves.
