22nd Birthday!

Me and Shuu-chan! She's SOOOOO cute! I want to steal her!

Our awesome suite Yawara's mommy booked us. Mahaina Inn, even has stairs to the right

View of the center courtyard of our suite

View of our stairs, just to show you that I wasn't lying! There were STAIRS! lol

Yawara's mommy also hooked us up to this Dream Garden for free. Absolutely gorgeous!

These pictures do not do it justice!

I have like a crap ton of more pictures, but I have to check out of this hotel soon!

The goldfish kept opening their mouths, expecting food, lol

Twirly tower

View from the top of the tower

Hard to believe that there were tsunamis and earthquakes while taking these pictures

Kittens we saw on the way back! They were so cute!

So we tried to get dinner, but couldn't cause we read the signs wrong. They don't close at 10, but take last call at 9, so we went to this supermarket/omiyage shop and bought a lot of omiyage okashi, instant ramen, cookies, drinks, lol

And then we found yukatas in the closet and tried them on

And our place at nice! This place is so amazing! I don't wanna leave it! But it was a beautiful birthday! All I needed was a cake! lol

Leaving for Okinawa tomorrow~!

Here are some of the latest pics:

Planned on going to the art museum, but it was closed, so we went to the sculpture garden right next door for free!

It was kinda hot out today, so we skipped City Park :( But maybe when we come back? :)

These men stand eternally nude for you.

The coolest sculpture, in my opinion!

And now he's sitting! Look at him sitting.

A ladder to the sky? I forgot how they were even holding that up!

lol, I laugh every time I see this picture. It's like he's reaching out and saying, "noooo, don't leave meeee..." 

Leaving for the airport in about an hour. I'm STILL sick. At least it's only coughing and not a combination of torture. We also had beignets twice today... Once at Cafe Du Monde and the other at Morning Call. I think I only like the original Cafe Du Monde near the French Quarter. The branches all kinda suck cause... it just lacks the atmosphere. Like, I was looking at it in the mall, and it looked out of place. Lol, but enough of that!  


So both my luggage weigh about 80 pounds together, so that means I'll only get to bring home 20 pounds of stuff home. I'm thinking of sending some crap home early though... We'll see! 


Off to Japan!
