The awesome people over at World Nomads were kind enough to sponsor us with free travel insurance for six months. It's something you need anyway, so why not check them out and help us out at the same time?

A Pit Stop in Paradise

Posted August 7th, 2007 by Valerie Marshall

During our incredible week in Hawaii we were very well taken care of by our hosts, Chris and Krystal, two of our best friends we met on JET.

Our hosts

It was just like old times together, and they bent over backwards to show us a fantastic time. For months Kevin and I thought it’d just be the four of us, but a familiar face walked into our karaoke room the second night there, pretending to have accidentally walked into the wrong place! We were completely surprised! It was our friend Matt, who BTB readers might know as Chocobuns, the frequent and hysterical commenter, who’s even more hilarious in person. The week wouldn’t have been the same without him. Here’s pretty much how it went:

Just one of Oahu's beautiful beaches

Nothing like a little karaoke

A true Hawaiian feast

Surf's up brah

View from the Pali lookout

We did a lot more than that, and there are more photos in the gallery. Not much else to say except that the week was absolutely perfect.

    I managed to print out some archives and photos for your grandmother. I get a kick out of the red dot on the map that shows your current location. I have never made it to Hawaii and I hope you saw a lot of it.

    All I have to say is that it was AWESOME!! I’m glad you guys had a great time too! The house is going to seem so empty when we go home today. I wish you could’ve stayed longer, but all good things have to come to an end sometime. I love the pictures! You make Hawaii look so beautiful!
