Sunday was a great day for the people of America. Not only was it the 4th of July, Independence Day, but it was also the beginning of the end for Hawaii. I found that after 2 weeks of beach hopping, my trip had hit a slight plateau. Almost seconds after picking Alexa up from the airport I found myself back pedalling as I hurled full force down a mountain.Lightly said, Alexa is a very unique person. As if the whole world stands behind her, this girl's got more luck than a winning lottery ticket. No matter what situation she finds herself in, there's always a way out. I figured this would be a fantastic accessory to have while on my trip, but when she showed up, the luck was in short supply.
After having picked her up from the airport, it took us a short 3 hour to get to Hawaii Kai, and from then on we found ourselves waiting hours for buses, fighting off the homeless, hitch hiking, and burning in the sun.
The complaint train stops there. It wasn't as if our whole trip had collapsed into itself, there was still room for recovery, and with a hammer and nails, we were able to salvage our trip. It's funny how the worst situations can be completely reversed depending on how you choose to react and who you're able to share it with. Lucky for me I had my best friend beside me as we rode the waves together, the good with the bad.
