First of all let me introduce Tiffanee Pro Frampton
<------------------ She's kind of a BIG DEAL
She likes peanut m&m's, Toms, and a cute little missionary named Kyle.
She is basically the only reason I am surviving on this island. She knows what type of candy bar I need when it's that time of the month. She also watches Bones for hours on end when I need a break from the library. Her baking skills are a gift sent from above (I would know). And she can basically make anybody laugh. She's basically the most thoughtful, most generous person i've ever met. She talks like a little kid sometimes, she's not too cool to color, and she helps me make my bed when I get too frustrated. Tiff may or may not be the coolest person you will ever meet, but don't even think about it, i've claimed her. We're going to be neighbors one day, so find your own tiffanee!
A few weeks ago we decided to spend our Thanksgiving alone (because our families are haters and live across an ocean)... together... on Maui! The only thing that could make Thanksgiving okay was a little bit of sunshine from the greatest island on earth. Was our trip planned? Not in the least. Organized? Try again. Did we spend hours talking to asians on the phone trying to find tickets? You betcha. Did we make it? barely. Best memories of College so far? I'd say.
Our trip consisted of riding the sketchiest bus at night. First of all, you would think we were smart enough to get off at the right bus stop... i mean, we did make it to college. Maybe our teachers should have rethought their decision. But we made it, after what seemed like hours. But not before a crazy man in a dress who was drunk off his butt asked us for our "magic plastic cards" and basically sent our souls to hell all in one night came and kept us company... it was probably the scariest bus stop experience i've ever had.. by far. We spent the night in the airport, because our plane left so early in the morning. We were basically starving to death, and everything was closed. Probably the funniest night, [insert tiff's amazing rap songs here].
We finally touched down in Maui, and got to drive! No mom, we didn't crash, but it was a little weird at first. I guess that's what happens when you are so used to driving buses and walking everywhere.
To make a very long story short. Maui was the best Thanksgiving decision we ever made! We spent the days on the beach, and the nights with the family (whom spoiled us to death and treated us like royalty). We finally got some sun, we got to eat guri guri, charley's, and my uncles barbecue. The trip was better than I expected it to be, and I am thankful for family and friends who put into perspective what is really important in life. I am so lucky for them all. Here's to more spontaneous trips, tans, and good food. Thanks for the best weekend ever tiff!

How lucky am I that I can plan a trip the night before to go to another island and have the time of my life with my family and friends? I am lucky for the opportunities and experiences i've had since coming to Hawaii and I am lucky to have the family and friends that I do. Basically... Best thanksgiving break ever.
