A few years ago I was lucky enough to earn/win a trip to Hawaii. I wont get into the details but me and the family spent over a week in Hawaii and it was magical to say the least.

Here is a retelling of my trip to Hawaii told via pictures. Enjoy this little trip down memory lane!

Airplane Flights

First you gotta fly there right? Well we had some long flights to get to Hawaii and it is gorgeous flying across the US when it's dark to see all the various cities lit up.

Also it will never be lost on me how beautiful the USA can be.. from 20,000 feet at least 😆

So turns out there are a LOT of chickens in Hawaii. I had no idea but hey "When in Rome" right?

Okay this post alone will probably deplete my Resource Credits as it is so that is enough picture for now. There are hundreds and also videos but I had to start somewhere at least!

All images were taken by me on my Samsung Galaxy S22 phone/camera. It is what I had at the time and it got the job done. This trip was a few years ago and before the massive wildfire that ran through Lahaina. It's heartbreaking to watch that after the fact but I am appreciative that I got to experience that area before it was devastated.
