Ahhhh I am feeling good after an amazing week's honeymoon in Hawaii! As I mentioned before I left, we were visiting the Big Island. We stayed for 3 nights in a fancy resort called the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, which I visited a few times when I was very young. My parents actually went there 30 years ago for their own honeymoon! Luckily, our family friend is a travel agent and got us a great deal, and the hotel manager gave us an additional upgrade to an ocean view room! The next place we stayed was the Puakea Ranch, an old ranch whose buildings have been converted to cute guesthouses (they still have horses and chickens!).
We got back on Friday night at about 9:30 p.m. The next morning, I had to be on campus at 9:00 a.m. for my teaching assistant orientation. I'm getting ready to teach my first college English class, which begins in one week. Unfortunately, the start of school will mean that my blog posts will get a bit less regular and more sporadic. But I still intend to eat...and take pictures! Check out our honeymoon photos below and get jealous...
