13 Things to Know About Hawai'i

Image
1.Shaka is a real thing, bruh 2.The Hawaiian people have an unabashed love of crazy-long words and apostrophes. Sometimes, apostrophes at the beginning of a word. What's it doing there at the beginning? I have no idea. Hawaiian spelling bees are cutthroat affairs 3.Disproportionate number of blonde people (*Not pictured, because I didn't want to be a creeper. Just take my word for it.) 4.While LOST tours aren't really a thing anymore, we found a few filming locations (the show was filmed almost entirely on Oahu) Byodo-In Temple, Kahaluu. Where Jin and Sun were married. #LostNerdgasm 5.Fire twirling is serious business 6.There is a bit of hang-loose island time, but it's still 'Murrica, so not quite as island timey as some places. 7.You hear a lot of passive-aggressive comments about  haoles (Caucasian foreigners) and there's a subtle undercurrent of resistance against tourism and white invasion.

Great views, and we take a small hike down to the lake. 5.19.14 Drive across the middle of California to get to Lassen Volcanic National Park. Since it's still pre-Memorial Day, we're not sure how much of the park is going to be open. That's just the price you pay to avoid the summer crowds. I much prefer early and late season... always-crowded places like Yosemite and Grand Canyon almost don't feel like national...

11 Things I Learned About Michigan

Faygo is a real thing, and not just Juggalos drink it. Dee licious Most houses in neighborhoods have no fences around them. It's like some giant urban planner took a handful of dwellings and tossed them across a field. Also, many of these houses have plastic mailboxes with front and back hatches. Because who has time to walk all the way around to the front of a mailbox? This is America . I want my mail now . These neighborhoods do not have sidewalks The Michigan definition of "condo" is different than the rest of the civilized world. Apparently, a one story house is a condo. The lakes up north have real beaches. I had to see to believe And on these lakes, there are some wicked awesome sunsets Also there are boats and fishermen and stuff.  In Grand Haven, there's a surf shop called the Wet Mitten  (I know, right?), so apparently people surf on these lakes. I did not witness this. Around the lakes, there's 99% humidity, ...
