The last time we were in Hawaii was in 2008. We rented a VW campervan and camped all around Oahu and Maui sleeping any place that would allow or at least tolerate us being there for a night. This included the side of the road and illegally camping on a beach (we didn't know it wasn't allowed). I mysteriously lost most of the shorts I had packed -- how is still a mystery, but we think they fell out of the van somehow? -- so I had like one pair of ugly brown culotte type pants that I pretty much wore the entire trip. I hated those shorts. We ate so much passion fruit and so much spam -- I never really liked Spam much before then but now whenever I eat it, it reminds me of Hawaii. It was our first trip together. and the first time I met Sly's side of the family.
So much happened on that trip -- so many memories. I'm sure I'll recap it all in excruciating detail one of these days, but for now a video I made way back when (back when I actually edited my crummy video clips to cheesy music) -- on our FIRST trip to Hawaii (Oahu and Maui) -- that pretty much sums it all.
