In this world it’s not what you know but, who. It was this philosophy alone that led me where I sit today on this fine afternoon; alone in the Edmonton International airport waiting for the next flight to Honolulu, Hawaii. Three months ago over a cup of coffee, a former co-worker and now full-time friend offered me a vacation I couldn’t say no to. Having spent much of her life running along the white sandy beaches of Hawaiikai on the island of O’ahu, Monica and her family grew accustomed to the Hawaiian way of life. With her mother living on the Island and her father braving the cold winters back home, Monica got the best of both worlds. But here’s where I come in. Monica offered me room and board in one of the sunniest places in the world for 3 full weeks for less than what my rent was back home. Now ask yourself friend, what would you have said?
