In the spirit of our spontaneous mindset, Jeff and I booked a Hawaiian adventure a week before our departure! Our calendars opened up and stars must have alined because everything went as smooth as a baby seal.
Before this trip, I had only ventured to Hawaii resort style; once to the big island for my grandparents anniversary and the other to Maui with the fam. This trip we camped out on Sunset Beach with the most loving and crazy family on the north shore- the Orian's. They welcomed us with open arms, immediately making us a part of their family. There is a huge difference between going resort style VS. staying with the locals, and after this trip, I'm sticking to the locals.
Arriving 2 days before the most anticipated surf contest of the year, PIPE MASTERS, our 8 day adventure began.
