Tiffany! Van In 50 States

Arizona.

2008-08-09T21:58:00.000-07:00

Seligman, Arizona.

So I've been to Arizona a couple times, as many other Californians have before, seeing as that its one of the only other neighboring states. The only thing I remember from the last time we were there was that we ate at the Denny's in Flagstaff. I went on this seven day road trip by way of a tour bus with my cousin Jason. I wasn't really looking forward to going with him since he wouldn't stop complaining about the trip even though the only reason why he was going on it was because he and his mother were having lunch with PB when she was looking up trips for me to go on while she goes off frolicking in China with her husband. Jason totally hates my blog and thinks its a huge joke even though he has never read it. He threatened to draw all over my face and body with Sharpies if I took any photos of him sleeping or eating and since hes done it to me before, I wasn't going to take the risk.

My camera died on me after eight years of use and abuse. PB left me her new Panosonic one which I used to take a total of 846 photos in the course of seven days. I have a lot more on Jason's camera too. I was really paranoid I would hit some button and all the photos would be deleted but thankfully that didn't happen. I would've gone apeshit.

Jason's mom dropped us off at the pick up area in Millbrae. There was this guy there wearing furry purple shorts. I planned on taking a photo of him later in the day but he ended up being on a different tour than us. Sorry. We got on the Soogle bus which took us to Cupertino where we were dropped off and the real bus came to pick us up.

Oh here's what the itinerary said: "Depart the Bay Area, led by our professional guide, begin the spiritual journey to the wilderness. Head to the Mojave Dessert and spend the night in Needles of Laughlin." Right.

Well then, on to the photos. I know Jason's not as easy on the eyes as Diana and PB's camera makes me look like crap because the photos are so clear and we all know the blurrier the photo, the better I look.

Do you remember that movie? I realized I saw it before 10 minutes into it. The guys sitting in front of us were watching Battle Royale on their laptop.

Thats our bus driver Joe and our tour guide James. He told us we would have to sing to the entire bus if we were late. He would also burst out in song himself from time to time.

Its my new water bottle! Haha. I was dying to buy one. The day after I finally did, PB and I went to Tahoe and we found one in the hotel lobby! Haha. It was ugly but we took it anyways. I saved so much money on water because of it. Jason had to keep buying them and they were always like two dollars a bottle. Taco Bell was packed when I went in so I met up with Jason at Carl's Jr. They had nothing there I could eat so I just ate the bowl of spinach I packed.

We had dinner in Barstow, California. It was incredibly hot when we got off the bus. It wasn't even sunny either, it was just the air that was hot. The bus driver menacingly laughed at me when I got off the bus and he was like "THATS THE DESERT AIR FOR YA." They all went to eat at some buffet place and I went to the grocery store next door and bought a bag of grapes and some croutons pretending to be bagels.

We spent the night at Super 8. I was hella craving Fruit Loops and I was tempted to buy a box at the grocery store but good thing I didn't since they had it for free in the morning. We left on Andy Divine Street. This is my stupid attempt at taking a photo of the stars. They looked amazing. I had no idea what I was missing until I saw them. Damn you fog.

We went to the historic Route 66. It hella reminds me of Wal-Mart since they have a clothing line by that brand. I have no idea why I know that. Route 66 is the Oregon Trail of the 20th century. Apparently its the most famous in the world. I had no idea.

Its hard to see but theres mannequins in the cars playing out car accidents or something. Oh Jason told me the funniest story. While I was in the gift shop, this huge group of bikers came in. He said one of them was only wearing a leather cup when he rolled in but after he got off his bike he put his pants on. Haha I really wish I could've seen it.

Then we went to Sedona which was one of my favorite places we went to.

Jason ate lunch at the world famous Sally's B.B.Q. According to him it was really good.

After lunch we were off to the Petrified Forest. Petrified wood is wood that has turned into stone where the organic material has been replaced with minerals. There was a museum about it too. One ton of petrified wood gets stolen every month. Can you tell I took notes on this trip?

She hella yelled at Jason and I for walking off the trail. Then when I was watching the mini documentary about the place, she called one of the people in the room out. Apparently she took some rocks or something and in the bathroom I heard the woman go apeshit. She was like "THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO SEARCH ME. WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE. THERE WAS NO SIGN POSTED ABOUT NOT BEING ALLOWED TO TAKE ROCKS." Then back on the bus, the woman started arguing with the tour guide because she didn't want to sit in the back. She said it smelled bad and then she started saying the bus driver smelled bad and yeah, it didn't go very well. He doesn't look very angry there but at one point I thought he was gonna choke her to death.

On day two, we went to Monument Valley. Its located on the border of Utah and Arizona. Many movies were filmed there including: Forrest Gump, Mission Impossible, and Back to the Future 3.

Back to the Future was filmed there. Oh and a bunch of Jeep commercials are filmed in the area too. This is supposed to look like a king on his throne:

And here is where Forrest Gump was filmed.
And thats the famous Mexican Hat. All the places around it were playing off The Hard Rock Cafe. They had places called the Hat Rock Cafe. Haha.

Most of the people on our bus went on an optional tour of Monument Valley. Jason and I were dropped off at Goulding's Monument Valley Trading Post and Lodge. We took some photos and then we found a grocery store.
Teehee the Horbese went to Arizona. Haha. We stayed in Page that night at the Travelodge. We got there so late and when we left to go get dinner, most of the places were closed. It started pouring too which I'm assuming is partly my fault since I kept saying how much I missed the rain. I don't know why but the ground was getting flooded. We went to Safeway first and everybody was crowded by the door waiting for the rain to stop so they could leave. Then we went to Taco Bell but unlike the ones here, they don't stay opened 24 hours. After that didn't work out, Jason just got something at KFC and that was the end of that.

On our last day in Arizona, we hiked up Horseshoe Bend of the Colorado River. It was pretty scary. I hate places without guardrails. James warned us that if anything fell, we shouldn't go after it. Hah, no kidding.

The last place we went to was Antelope Canyon. It was one of the optional activities that required an additional fee. It was $30 and well worth it. I think Jason and I were the only people on the bus that only went to one of the optional places. Most of the people went to all of them. I only went because Jason was dying to go there and I'm glad we went. The ride there was reminiscent of a rickety wooden rollercoaster with tons of dust flying in your face.

That woman totally fell on me when the car started. At one point I looked at the driver and I realized he was driving all over the place on purpose. Our tour guide, Vernon, was all sorts of adorable and his entire family or something was working as the other tour guides. Everytime we passed by one he would be like "thats my mom" or "thats my brother." Haha.

Its Abe Lincoln! Can you see it? The bottom part is his chin and its like you're looking up at his face. Haha. There were all sorts of people in the Canyon. There was Elvis and Simba. I'm having a hard time finding the photos of them though since you can't really see it unless you use your imagination and its hard when theres 100 photos of them in miniform.
Oh that one is a flying eagle.

This girl on the bus with us, Frances, pointed out this random Indian playing the flute in the corner. Haha. I didn't even notice him at first. The reptile crawled over her foot while we were in the Canyon and she hella freaked out. Haha. There were so many of them.

Jason and his new friends were all making fun of me and the tour guide and they took hella photos of us from the back. At one point I turned around and Jason made the stupidest face and gave me a thumbs up sign. The photos turned out pretty good though. Haha.

It took me over two hours to write this blog. Hopefully somebody reads it.

Utah.

2008-08-09T20:30:00.001-07:00

Zion, Utah.

Alright, its been over a year since I took this trip. This is the last installment of the seven state trip I took last summer with my parents and Diana via the tour bus.

I should have seen this coming. My computer broke and I didn't realize I hadn't saved all my photographs onto a usb flash drive but luckily I never deleted the Utah photos from my camera's memory card. Then when I tried to upload the photos off my camera using Jason's camera cord from his new camera, not all the photos transfered. So here's a blog a year past due with less than half the photos. Enjoy.

PB bought us cinnamon rolls from Burger King for breakfast.

We visited a huge Morman Church.

Our tour guide was gorgeous by the way. All the tour guides were covered head to toe though which must have been extremely uncomfortable since it was about 100 degrees out there.

Ok, I'm going apeshit right now. Seriously, I can't believe the photos are gone. Utah was one of my favorite freaking states too. Holy shit this sucks. FUCKKKKKKKK.

Well we visited the Bringham Copper Mine but all the photos I have from there are gone. We also took a tour of this place that was part of the Oregon Trail or something.

We got to go shopping before we left for Vegas at the Zion Outlets.

There were so many other tour buses there, along with a pink car!

After that we had lunch at this really good buffet and then we left for Vegas and that was the end of our trip.

The owners yelled at Diana for going outside with their food. Psssh.

Ughhh this is so disappointing. Hopefully I find a way to retrieve the photos since those were the ones that actually showed parts of Utah instead of just photos of me and Diana in a toy store I didn't know still existed.

South Dakota.

2007-12-02T18:20:00.000-08:00

Rapid City, South Dakota.

It is now December and I still haven't finished writing the last two blogs from my 7 state trip I took over the summer. Jeez. We didn't spend much time in South Dakota. It was drizzling when we got there.

Looks just like all the other states doesn't it?

I love seeing amusement parks in different states.

Haha. Diana just waking up.
On our way to Mount Rushmore. There were so many people there.

Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Lincoln.

Get ready for quite possibly the best stalker photo we ever took.
Thank you super zoom. Guess what else we saw? Twin cowboys! Haha. Diana kept trying to point them out but I couldn't see them because they were so far.
We went to the gift shop. There wasn't anything I liked there. It all reminded me of those clothes you would picture people living in trailers or walking out of Wal-Mart wearing.
We bought some ice cream and we ate lunch in their cafeteria thing. There were photos of presidents all over the place and it made me think of how awkward it would look if Hilary Clinton won and her photo was put up. That would suck. I hope her ass doesn't win.

They were really big on recycling and helping the environment. Their entire complimentary park guide was full of ways to use less energy and save water. I loved it. After we ran back to the bus because we thought we were late and that we were the last people.
Turns out we were the first. Haha. We took more photos but I look awful in all of them so I'm not going to post them. Here are some more photos of Diana eating her frozen yogurt instead.
On the itinerary it said we stayed overnight at Casper. I have no idea if we did or not. I can't remember. Well that concludes our day at South Dakota. I keep telling people I went to North Dakota though. Oops. Only one more blog after this and then I'll be done for a while. I don't think we're going anywhere until Spring Break.

11 States down. 39 left to go.

Wyoming.

2007-07-23T22:24:00.001-07:00

Yellowstone, Wyoming.

Brace yourselves, this is going to be one long blog and hopefully a good once since I need to redeem myself after that sad Montana blog. We were in Wyoming the majority of the time. We kept going to a state and then going back to Wyoming. Our first stop was Grand Teton National Park. We only had 30 minutes there so we were running around like crazy.

Its hard to tell but PB was super angry.

They have a museum too! I spent hours in the one at Fishermens Wharf.

I wish there were film festivals here.

That arch is made entirely of bone. Then we went to this place with all these hot springs. They were really cool. The waters all boiling and its really clear.

I know what you're thinking, "I'm sick of this girl making that face all the time!" but would you honestly rather be looking at this

or this

I think not, and besides it was really cold.

Hot hitchhikers! I think one of them might've been a girl though. It was hard to tell. They both could've been girls, but I'm just going to pretend they were guys. Then we went to see Old Faithful. There were so many people waiting there!
It was freezing. Me and Diana saw these really hot guys at the next bench over and we were trying to take photos of them but it didn't really work out and then the next thing we knew, this huge lumberjack family freaking sat next to us and I smiled at one of them and he just glared back.

We waited there for forever.

Almost there...
It really was amazing. Definently worth the wait. Then we finally got to eat. I saw the most attractive guy there! He reminded me of that Chicken Little guy that was on American Idol. Remember him? Well anyways, his name was Brian and he was the cashier and on his name tag it said Brian Minnesota but I don't think that was his last name.

They had this huge condiment bar! They seriously had everything. I wanted to steal like 20 packets of ranch dressing but Diana and me just took a million packs of Ritz crackers.
We stayed at Dude Motel and uh dude, don't ever go there.

Look how dark it is out there. They had us get up at 6 every morning. Not cool.

This looks like its from a horror movie. Attack of the Bison! Or is that Buffalo?

Thats Buffalo crap. It was huge.

I'm getting the look of death from PB there.

We spent the night at Best Western. We went swimming again. Well we were going to but then our tour guide saw us and told us how he heard somebody was complaining about how dirty the pool was so we just went to the hot tub instead. They had the hottest concierge except he wasn't very nice. They had a computer by the front door and we went to check our facebooks/myspaces. Haha.

They had free breakfast though and that's always a good thing. They even had a waffle maker.
I told Diana to run back in and steal some doughnuts.
Then she went back to sleep.

Then we went to Devil's Tower which is located in the northeastern part of Wyoming. I'm going to steal some info from our itinerary "Its known for its monolith..." nevermind. Its pretty boring.

Those rocks were so hard to climb.

We stopped at a gas station and Diana bought some candy. I snapped a photo of some boy sitting next to us. Oh, and we saw some super hand dryer. Haha.

We went to the most amazing motel on our last day in Wyoming. I loved it! It was so pretty and we had our own balcony and there was a pool right by the lobby that me and Diana went to. We just went to the hot tub and this really attractive janitor named Dave helped us turn on the jets because Diana was too chicken shit to press the button.
Then we headed to Independence Rock.

I spy PB!

You would think that person behind Diana is me but it so isn't. I thought it was me for the longest time though. I have no idea who that girl is. That rock was really hard to climb too and it took forever to get off.

Okay, the end. If you actually read this entire blog, thank you, since I think this one is my favorite. Drop me a line, as always, no account necessary.

40 States to go.

Montana.

2007-07-19T20:21:00.000-07:00

Billings, Montana.

Procrastination is so not a good thing when it comes to writing these blogs. I went on this trip at the beginning of summer and I've forgotten a bunch of stuff already. I seriously can't remember any of the names or anything. Man this blog is going to suck. Lesson learned. So I don’t have much to say about Montana, mostly because there really wasn’t much at Montana. This was day three of our seven day long adventure. If you haven’t already read Idaho, I highly suggest you do so you’re all caught up. My dad used to live in Montana, but when I mentioned it to my mom, she said she had no idea. Weird.

Its hard to see but that blue sign says Welcome To Montana. Diana was set on taking photos of "Welcome to (insert state)" signs but this is the only one we got. I can not for the life of me remember where this was.
It was just some place with lots of waterfalls. Then we drove and went to this place with a lot of rocks? *I just found all the pamphlets I collected and this place is called the Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone.

Somebody actually lives in this tourist place. Theres a sign that says Keep Off, Private Property. That must suck since its probably really noisy everyday. I just remembered Diana has a lot of our photos on her camera. Crap.

My uncle kept saying it looked like a penis. Uh, not really.

Teehee.

Man, Caitlin's Way was misleading. Remember that show? It was on Nickelodeon a decade ago. I loved that show. It was about this city girl and her mom died so she had to move to Montana with her relatives and even though she hated the place, it looked really cool. Montana looked nothing like it. In fact, it looked more like Idaho.

You might recognize those photos. I had them on my facebook. I love how it looks like we were photo shopped into it.
Look at PB in the back. She got really mad after I took this photo. "WHY ARE YOU TAKING PHOTOS BY THE BATHROOM??!?!?" As if you can even tell its by the bathroom. Sheesh. Do I look darker? If I do, I hella don't anymore since my face started peeling like crazy that day.

I love trees. Please Recycle! Haha. I had to put that in there.

I have no idea what this sign is about. Its all talking about Wisconsin. WTF.

This is quite possibly the worst blog I've ever written. Sorry guys.

41 States left to go.

Idaho.

2007-06-17T18:38:00.000-07:00

Middlekauf, Idaho

This is the beginning of my week long road trip with Diana, PB, my uncle, and a bus full of Asians. We woke up way to early and headed for San Mateo. Had I known we would be entering into a week full of cheap Chinese buffets and fast food, I probably would've packed all my meals. The bus had neck breaking chairs and too cold air conditioning.

First we went to Sacramento. Guess who we saw when we first got there?

None other than Ronald McDonald. He kept running around so it was hard to get a good photo of him. Mr. Schwarzenegger's office is right behind that door.

Then we spent the night in Nevada. The motel we stayed at was disgusting.

The first room had flickering lights and the bathroom had pubes all over the toilet and weird, bubbly toilet water. When we called the front desk to have them clean the bathroom up, they came up 20 minutes later with a key to another room. They didn't have any maid service. The second room at least had working lights and a cleaner bathroom but that’s about all. The sheets had cigarette burns and the towels were stained. I went swimming with Diana. We should've seen the signs that it wouldn't be a good idea. When we got down there, you needed a key to go in and we didn't have it with us and then a woman who worked there said we had to be accompanied with an adult to go in but then she came back and said it would be fine and a man hanging by the door let us use his key. I kept getting stray hairs stuck in my bracelets and the pool was so dirty, I was afraid I would catch some disease. Practically everybody in there was sunburned to the max and there was a pregnant woman in the hot tub and a middle aged man making out with some girl who looked like she should still be in high school.

We finally headed off for Idaho. Prior to going on this trip, I was talking to my friend and he asked where I was going. I named a couple of states and he said something along the lines of "snoozefest." He was so right. I've never slept so much in my life, or so less. Its hard to tell. We had to wake up at 5 every morning and we slept on the bus most of the time. There wasn't much scenery too look at anyways. We went to McDonald's for breakfast.

We went to eat lunch at a deli type place.
Then we went to Snake River Canyon.

A couple more hours of driving. We seriously spent 80% of the day on the bus.
For dinner they took us to some Chinese buffet place but me and Diana skipped it. Good thing since PB said the food was awful. We decided to take a million photos since we had the bus all to ourselves.

THIS WAS ON THE WINDOW OF THE BUFFET PLACE. WTF?

Oh, Napolean Dynamite was filmed in Preston, Idaho. Pretty cool. I didn't try any potatoes but I did see a potato factory on the way. That's about it. Sorry this blog was a bit boring but then again, so was Idaho.

42 states left to go. (Hah, it finally changed)

California.

2006-12-28T17:38:00.000-08:00

Humboldt County, California

So I know I live in California and everything so I wasn't sure how to go about writing a blog about it but I thought what better time to write about it then with our trip to Humboldt County? We went the day after Christmas. It was really uh out of the blue. I just bored at home so I told them I wanted to go somewhere. I randomly chose Humboldt County out of a list of California Tourist Spots. I didn't realize it was 5 hours away or that I've actually been there before when I picked it. Its really close to Oregon. Like 100 miles away from it.

I got to wear my new jacket. The hood is ridiculous. You can fit like 2 other heads in it.

The weather was awful. This was the sky at 12 p.m. Not exactly ideal for a vacation

We passed by a bunch of little towns. Hopland, Willits, Scotia. We stopped to eat at the only restaurant open. It was in Garberville. I just noticed the view outside the window looks like a painting.

Then we headed off for the Avenue of Giants. It was good thing there werent that many cars on the road because for almost all the photos, we kept stopping the car so I could jump out and take photos.

Yeah heres the worst photo of me ever. But its necessary to show you how I freaking stepped on some dead animal carcass thing. And I was kneeling. Which is why I look so short. Can you see it? Its by the corner in this photo. I screamed my head off when I saw it.

I can't remember if these photos were taken in Ferndale or Fortuna.

Look! A mini Victorian house. It was adorable. And if you looked in the windows, it was furnished with everything. There were plates and stuff on the tables. I was really freaked out that somebody might pop out of nowhere.

Then we went motel searching. We ended up staying at Best Western. Bad photo of me but look at the earrings I bought there! They're adorable.

Free breakfast! Haha. PB brought it up for me. Best doughnut ever.

Then we went to all the other tourist spots. Apparently Humboldt County is more of a summer vactioning spot. Everything was closed. Oh and the whole place was out of electricity.

It was soooo windy. I swear. I almost got blown away.

We stopped at a souvenir shop. Well it was more of a boat supply shop. Haha. The sweetest old man worked there though. I bought t-shirts and a souvenir for Olivia and PB bought postcards.

And at that point I was exhausted already. All I wanted to do was go home and sleep. Haha. Theres loads more photos on PB's camera which she hasn't even uploaded yet. Psh.

43 states left to go. I like how I keep writing that for each blog. Only because I keep revisiting the same places over and over again. Haha.

Nevada.

2006-11-25T20:13:00.000-08:00

Reno, Nevada

We, as in Me, PB and her loverman, Diana and her dad, drove to Nevada for Thanksgiving.

Edit: I forgo to mention on our way there while on the freeway we saw this huge sign that said "hi wanda. do you know that i love you?" Haha I thought it was adorable.

On the road

Diana fell asleep a lot.

Yes it was vital to post all those photos of us.

We stayed at Silver Legacy where we stayed last year as well. It was cool because I knew my way around and stuff. Haha.

We couldn't go to our rooms because the person who the reservations name was under wasn't there yet. So we went to this buffet place (go figure).

Then me and Diana went to Circus Circus and watched this Chinese woman ride a unicycle and throw bowls on her head.

Then we went to PB's friends room and harassed this little boy to take a photo with us.

More random photos from the hotel

The rest of the time me and Diana just stayed in the hotel room trying not to touch anything because everything we touched shocked us. Not fun.

Day 2 (Notice we're wearing the same thing we did the day before)

Then we left and drove to Tahoe and on our way we got chocolate milkshakes!

We went to Squaw Valley which has to be the prettiest place ever in Tahoe. I high recommend you go check it out if you're ever in that area. We went ice skating.

Diana looks like an Asian pop star in this one

But not in this one

I fell a couple times but not as much as this girl did. I would've taken more photos of her but I didn't' want her mother to think I was a lesbian pedophile or something.

After skating for like 3 hours we went to eat lunch at the restaurant above the rink.

On our way out we saw this tree that looked like it had eyes all over it.

Oh did I mention?

It was coldddddddddddddddddd.

Then we drove back to Daly City. Diana slept again

And we saw the sunset

We had dinner in Chinatown and when we went back to go to our car we couldn't find it

Then we saw this

But it was ok because we got it back after we paid them $300 for towing our car.

Thee End.

Oh and if you've read all the way to this point, feel free to leave a comment. No account necessary.

Oh and one last anecdote before you leave,

Last year when I went to Reno/Tahoe, before I left I thought "It would be so random if I ran into Terence Leung there without any prior knowledge that he was going to be there and what do you know, I ran into him everrrrrrywhere when I got there. And every time we saw each other we'd yell "stalker!" at each other. Haha. Yes. Ok I'm done.

Illinois.

2006-10-30T17:19:00.000-08:00

Chicago, Illinois
So I figured I'd be able to visit all 50 states by the time I'm 30. The last one I went to was Illinois with a layover in Colorado over the summer.

We stayed in this hotel called Extended Stay America which I've never even heard of but now that I have, I keep seeing it everywhere. There was a whole kitchen thing in our room and they gave us pans and dishes and everything. How accomidating.

I know. Not the most flattering photos.

This guy randomly took my camera and took a photo of us. How nice. Oh and I'm wearing a t-shirt I bought in Colorado.

I was really annoyed at PB at the time so everytime she told me to take a photo, I didn't.

Yeah thats about all I took on our tour ride on the boat. We saw a building owned by Donald Trump and the buildings that were in Ferris Bueler's Day Off.

Of course I couldn't go to Chicago and not do some harmless stalking.

Random people of Illinois

Uh, some pretty thing I saw after the boat tour.

PB and her loverrman

This was right near this radio station and it was in a glass room so when you walked by you could see the radio personality talking. Pretty nifty.

I asked PB to take a photo for me and this is what happened

So when she asked me to take a photo for her...

And obviously we went to the Sears Tower.

Yeah thats about it. We had deep dish pizza twice. We went two days in a row and the waitress recognized us. Haha. There was only one pizza place in the entire area. How crazy is that? I thought there would be a bunch of them. Oh and before we left for the airport we bought some White Castle cheeseburgers.

Thirty of them actually. They got kind of gross after I ate like four.

Yeah thats about it. Then our flight got delayed by like four hours and we had to spend the night in the airport in Denver. It was fun. They wanted to check into a hotel but I begged them to stay in the airport. It was impossible to sleep though. It was really bright and loud noises kept coming out of no where. Yep.

43 states left to go.

Hawaii.

2006-10-30T17:18:00.001-08:00

Lahina, Maui, Hawaii

I went to Maui, Hawaii the summer before my sophmore year. I was a bit precarious when I heard we were going and if you've ever seen Blue Crush or Johnny Tsunami or some other Hawaii based movie, you'd know why.

Also I deleted a lot of the photos I took because I thought I had to many but now I wish I hadn't. There aren't a lot of photos anymore so yeah, work with me here.

One last note, I went to Hawaii the day after Warped Tour which is why my face is neon red. I got the worse sunburn of my life. Not fun. At all.

Gross. Look how shiny and red my face is. Even my eyelids are burnt. Well this is me and PB on the plane.

It was extremely humid when we got off. And as I'm sure all of you guys know, I have some psycho respritory thing going on and I thought I was gonna suffocate or something.

PB's friend who conviently drives a taxi, picked us up from the airport and we headed for her house. I got to hang out with her daughters Jing and An who (whom?) I hadn't seen ages.

I took this on my first day there. It looks like one of those computer backgrounds those pop ups keep nagging you to download doesn't it?

The next day we went to some hotel.

Honestly, I have no idea what we did on what day. I can't remember. I'm just judging on the different states of my sunburn to determin what the day was.

The day after that we went to this mountin. I can't remember what it was. I think it was the highest peak or something.

We also caught a movie. It was werid. I kept thinking we were going to be late and all the seats would be taken but Jing kept saying they would be plently of empty seats. Sure enough, when we got there, it was 98% empty despite the fact the movie was about to start in about a minute. It also smelled like cat urine. I guess the people there aren't as big on movies as we are. We saw Dark Water but I couldn't finish because we went on a submarine ride. Sadly this is the only photo I have from it. We were on the boat to get to the submarine. I had photos of us in the sub but I deleted them. You can probably tell what I was really trying to take a photo of.

On our last day there we went to a Luau/Buffet. We sat next to a table full of people from Italy. They were there for a wedding. I think they got really drunk unless Italians are really loud in general.

We also went to Outback Steakhouse. I'm sure PB would kill me if she found this photo posted on the internet. She hates bad photos of her.

Sometime between that I went snorkeling. I went under the water once and I was done. I didn't like knowing I could accidently squish a fish (it rhymes!) at any moment. The water in Hawaii is 50x more saltier than the water in California. It burned.

We also played miniture indoor golf with blacklights. It was fun. It was really dark inside with all these glowing things. PB has some photos of that on her computer. Perhaps I'll upload them onto here one day. Oh wait, I have a couple photos but not of us. I'll post one.

Random photos me and Jing took in the car. Notice how my face is all different colors.

And me and An.

43 states left to go.
