8 Things I Learned About Green Bay

Image
1. No smoking on the plane. But here's a place to put out your cigarette. I'm confused   2. There’s absolutely no doubt this is packers country. Anything here not green and yellow is probably a dog or the sky.   3. If I see two little girls at the end of this hallway and an elevator full of blood, I might opt to stay in a different hotel. Maybe.   4. The humidity is ridiculous Perhaps I'm quite a bit spoiled living in Denver where the air is beautifully dry. Everywhere else feels like a sauna to me. 5. The accents make me feel like I'm trapped inside Making a Murderer. Sore-ey, but I have to goh to the barrrr with Toh-ney. (no offense, 'Sconsin. I love ya) 6.

Trying to eat at the food court inside a smoking-positive casino? Delicious experience.   8....

13 Things to Know About Hawai'i

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.

Last Trip: Great Barrier Reef

Image
Day 5 Up early enough to catch the end of the sunrise on the beach 200m from our caravan park. Beautiful. Bus picked us up at 8, took us the the wharf for our snorkel tour.  Boat ride out the the reef was about 90 minutes, bumpy in the windy ocean. We first stop at a shallow section of the reef. Lycra wetsuits on, to protect from the jellies and the sun. Get in the water, right away I see a jelly.  He's easy to avoid though. Port Douglas is apparently the most dangerous place on earth. We swim around the reef for about an hour. The sights underwater are incredible: fishes, sea creatures on the reef.  found: nemo It's a bit hard for to enjoy it cuz I haven't snorkeled since I was 14, and i'm out of practice; I get a lot of ocean water in my nose and mouth. Throat hurts. back in the boat, a short ride to another section. This time it s a guided snorkel tour, with our marine biologist guide showing us various creatures from the reef. Then lunch, then one more boat ride ...
