Enjoying East Texas!

My husband and I enjoyed are winter travels. Two weeks ago, we were in Hawaii and we just love the tropical weather. We were out most of the time enjoying our time in the park and driving around the Big Island. I guess, spending three months in Hawaii is enough for us to see the beauty of the islands. We were spoiled by the tropical weather and the fresh produce everyday! The people are so nice and very friendly.

Now, we are back in the mainland and enjoying our travels down south. We love the weather here in Texas! It's been one week and five days since we got here and it feels like we already know where to go around. I guess, I owe it to my husband who is the driver and of course to myself who is the navigator! Who could ever imagine that we are back in the state of Texas for the second time?

Girls Talk: First Date

My first date was taken at Sunflower fast food restaurant, a local fast food in my hometown. It was just a casual date actually, we were just talking about things that we like and we don't like. I was working at Greenwich as a service crew. The first date wasn't that long because we both have to go back to work. We were both working in Greenwich! I was in college at that time and he was too. I can say, that my first date wasn't that memorable as we didn't do that much.

Travel-Bug in Me!

We left our place in Hilo, Hawaii around 6:10 PM. Our newly found friend, Ellen came by and offered help to take us at the airport. Our flight going to Honolulu, Hawaii was around 8:21 PM. Luckily, there were no delays and we were on board on time at Hawaiian Airlines. We landed at Honolulu International Airport around 9:10 PM. While waiting for our flight going to Seattle, I checked my Facebook to see if there's something new about my friends. I can't check my Barn Buddy farm as my BlackBerry Tour doesn't support the Facebook games. Wishing I have an iPhone! Luckily, I have my Nintendo DSi to entertain me.

We boarded around 12:00 AM - our flight going to Seattle. We landed at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport around 6:35 AM (Pacific Time). My husband grabbed coffee and a chocolate donut and I got Vanilla Cinnamon Latte and cream cheese Danish at Seattle's Best Coffee. Our flight to Minneapolis will be around 12:30 PM and I am getting tired waiting over. I am irritated, I am tired and I am sleepy! This is the longest layover (about (6 hours) I have ever had. Can't wait for my next trip down South! So excited!
