I have always been a fan of Pop Tarts, but in America, I found the best pop tarts, ever. Fudge Sundae, or something like that. Marshmallow flavour, Sprinkles and fudgey goodness. I buy 2 boxes in LA (Target, of corse), eat one box, get halfway through the second box... then one morning I awake to find in the kitchen cupboard... ants... in my pop tarts. They've eaten their way trough the foil of the Pop Tart too, making them unedible. How annoyed am I? And I find out that they don't sell this flavour in Hawaii... ARGHGHGG!!! I blame Karma. Did I write about my atomizer? The perfume thing u can take around in your bag and refill with all yur favourite scents? Well I took my empty atomizer into a perfume shop and filled it ... read more

After the amazing time I had on Maui, , it was time to say goodbye and move on to the last, but definitely not least, Hawaiian island I would visit, The Big Island. The Big Island is actually the island with the name Hawaii, the group of islands commonly called Hawaii is actually the State of Hawaii, got it, good. The Big Island as it were is a nickname relating to the fact that it is in fact, big :P I rather bizarrely flew into Hilo from Maui via Honolulu and if you know you're Hawaiian geography, as I do, you will know that this is actually backwards. Strange as it doubles your time in the air yet is the same price as a direct flight. I was staying at a little place called Arnott's Lodge, ... read more

Hello All So i know you are all chomping your finger nails in anticipation of my next travel blog, to hear of my heroic adventures in the land of preservative full/precooked/prepacked/presugared/presyruped/carbohydrated/calorie infused peanut butter everything. Just thought i'd let you know i've only put on 200 pounds which is equal to the total mass of all rock mined on earth since....... the beginning. Just kidding, i don't think i've put on any weight. Not sure about the 200 pounds being equal to the total mass of all rock mined on earth since....... the beginning, will look into it though, actually probably won't. Anyway will try keep this short as to keep you interested. So this last week has been pretty hectic with busyness(not business). So didn't really get off base as much. So the first ... read more

My last full day in Hawaii was spent snorkeling on the rock reef of Haunamau Bay. For $14 you can get admission, fins, goggles and snorkel which allows you to see the beauties of the reef of Hawaii. There are a lot of wild fish and marine life there and the scary part is that you are swimming only a foot away from their habitat. Unfortunately, I did not see any sea turtles but I saw some awesome fish (whose names escape me now except the parrot-fish). Eddie brought his underwater camera and took some awesome pictures of the bay. This whole trip has only proved one thing to me, and that is pictures can never do this place justice. Hawaii is a place of pure supreme supernatural power. There is no way to describe it. ... read more

The next day Eddie and I hiked Diamond Head which was a fortress in the late 1890's created by the king to observe the shores of Oahu to protect the kingdom. Diamond Head is a volcanic crater, cooled and hardened on the south-east edge of the island. It is about a 1.5 mile hike up, and it is STEEP! Thank modern infrastructure for paving the whole trail which made it nice and easy. Once you got up to the top you could see the whole south shore. Mind you there were outposts on the perimeter of the crater's crust, but they were closed for public travel. After that? We went swimming. Jesse is a journalist and a writer for a magazine called Look! Hawaii. This magazine is ran by some crazy asian named Tim, who ... read more
