Hawaii – Page 2 – Neyziellewanders

I was hoping to do another blog entry about the Hawaii travel the soonest possible time but then I got too caught up doing other, err, more important things during the [school] break. I should be packing my bags now because I am going back to my town but then I came across the photos taken in Maui.

Yay. I know I owe this blog post to the best friend//

12 hours of stay. So here goes the second story.

On the second day, we woke up at three in the morning (Yes, I, myself, can’t still believe I did) for an adventure in the top of the world, jk.

Together with Manang Aiko, Manong Harold and Mel, we went to Haleakala. (Lol, I hope I got it right). We (Jarica and I) thought that it’s okay to wear just the jackets we have not knowing that it was ice-cold up there.

If there is worse than my first Ferris wheel ride, it was the whirlwind road trip going up. But I survived. Good thing I am traveling two times a month from and to Baguio that I (minimally) minded the zigzag roads and coldness at 3A.M.

I can’t find a word to describe how cold up there. It’s, uh, as if you are inside a freezer in the lowest possible degree of temperature.

So, sorry not to have mentioned earlier, but our primary goal of going up there and enduring the coldness was to witness the sunrise.

And, failed. HAHA!

We may not saw how beautiful it could get but the place is just so amazingly breathtaking.

What to know: Hawaii has three mountains taller that Mt. Everest.

(Disclaimer: I just saw this on the cards posted inside the store there).

1. Mt. Everest is approximately 29, 000 feet tall from its base.

2. Hawaii’s tallest mountains are measured from the Pacific Ocean floor which is the top of the Pacific Plate.

3. there is approximately 19,000 feet of water from the ocean floor up to sea level

4. Therefore, Haleakala (10, 023 ft), Mauna Loa (13, 679 ft), and Mauna Kea (13, 796 ft) are taller that mt. Everest when measured from their base.

Awesome, too, because we were with the people so accommodating and kind that we can never thank them enough until now.

One of the many memories worth treasuring, indeed.

NEXT TIME LONGER, Maui. ❤

Wait for us. We’ll gonna explore what you still has to offer, Maui. Next time longer.

Photos were taken using a Samsung Galaxy SII plus and these have no filter and unedited.

First things first, it was not really a part of the plan to go to Maui. But Manang Aiko is so generous, I went- with my Auntie! HAHAHA. Yes, my Auntie is five years younger. ❤

Main reason was to visit my cousin, that I wish I could take home with me.

I don’t know, but it is overwhelming that though I am not even Manang Aiko’s close relative, she gave me a blast! I can never thank her enough.

Yea, it was a 32- hour stay in the Paradise. Too short to even bond with my cousin. But it’s okay because with that 32 hours, I enjoyed my stay. 🙂

We arrived at the airport at about 11 in the morning, I think. As promised, Manang Aiko and Manong Harold(Manang Aiko’s hubby) were there to pick us up. Uh, wait, Hi, Mel!

Say hi to this awsm guy that did not go to his work for two days because of me. JK. HAHAHA!

And then, there’s Maui. ❤

So we went to this hotel, daaah, I am not really great at memorizing names and places, Grand Wailea, I think. Yea, yea. The hotel is soooo breathtakingly beautiful I wish I live there.

How, for all the remaining sense in the world, can a hotel be this, uh, beautiful? So, I just set my standard of beautiful here. xD

Attention: I AM SUCH A PHOTOBOMBER SO PARDON MY FACES.

This is just one of the many reasons I hated myself for not bringing my DSLR. You see, I was so lazy to even carry my Canon baby. But these photos from my phone are just, so, uh, cool, right? (SAY YES)

Didn’t I tell you guys that this blog entry is my photo album? HAHAHA. Jk. It’s so beautiful I am going to buy that hotel someday. (Insert evil laugh here, whips hair then walks away).
