So since we were nearing the end of our tropical vacay :( BOO. We decided to pretty much spend the last few days basking in the sun, and trying to work on our tans before having to return to worky work. The sun had not been out the WHOLE time we were there, so we just needed to soak in some rays before we went back to Washington/Oregon...where we knew we are not going to be seeing any Vitamin D for awhile.
Unfortunately I do not have any pics of this last FULL day, because we basically lounged by the pool and beach, got drinks, and food delivered to us. Lounged in the lazy river, watched a few weddings, tried to adopt this kitten that was laying down by the beach (turns out it is a heck of a time trying to get him back to the states, so unfortunately, did not suceed). And basically just being lazy and trying to do anything..but think about home and work and the whole crazy thing. It was so nice to just not have to do anything...but let me tell you..the day went by EXTREMELY quick. Sad. I was not ready to leave paradise...which fortunately for us...we still technically had another full ish day ahead.. but we were taking the red eye the next night, and had to be checked out of our room, so it definitely wouldn't be as relaxing as this night was.
We had come to the conclusion earlier on in the week that we wanted to go to a Luau, before the trip ended. We looked into it, and it was pretty expensive, so did not think that we would get the chance to go. Luckily for us, we found some coupons, and it ended up being super affordable! And bonus...it was within walking distance to our hotel, so we didn't even need to drive! We got all gussied up, and headed on over. I was excited because I got to wear this dress, I have been DYING to wear for over a year, but had no place of wearing it to..of course! A Luau! Why Didn't I think of that!?!
When we arrived at the Luau, they gave us Mai Tais, and that was just the beginning. They gave us drink coupons where we were allowed to get 2 free drinks, and if you wanted a little more fancy of a drink then a tequila sunrise, then you woul have to pay a few dollar more. They had a ton of things going down before the show. Lei making, and bracelet making, Hawaiian tattoos, which are basically painted on...I got one of course, and the guy that did mine, asked me where I was living. I told him Oregon, and he was like wow that sucks..haha I know bud..I know. He said people were mean there!! So funny because I have been saying that since I got here, but everybody always tells me how nice Oregonians are..I have not seen it. Silly Billys.
My tattoo
Excuse the fat arms and twisted bra strap
So as the sun started to set in paradise, I took the opportunity to snap some pictures...
That was basically all the pics I have of the night...I got too tied up in all the delicious food, and drinks and just wonderful amazing show. The show was everything I hoped it would be, and although this was the one thing we were not really sure about doing, I think most of us agreed that this was our favorite thing that we did.
Such a perfect evening to wrap up our vacation in paradise. We went home and tried to pack up some things and started to say goodbye to the place we had called home, for about a week.
