...Disaster magnet.

Waikiki, Hawaii - last night.

It's been an amazing week. I went snorkeling with dolphins and sea turtles (Cal - you would have liked them). Snorkeling with the dolphins was a little strange. First off, I'm not much of a swimmer. We had to float in the ocean while the boat slowly drifted away leaving us stranded for a bit to make sure they didn't scare off the dolphins. We couldn't swim or kick our legs because that too would have scared them off. Needless to say, it took a lot of effort on my part to stay calm. But I saw some dolphins - well worth the temporary panick.

Hiking through the rainforest was super fun. Manoa falls were a bit disappointing, but still worth the hike. I got some pictures of avocado trees and mango trees. I also took gorgeous pictures of different species of trees eccentrically competing for sunlight.

The Luau was okay. Nothing too special. I remember it being a LOT more fun when I went with family. (Dad, remember we danced together???) I did go up on stage to learn how to Hula though. Failed attempt.

SOOO, yes. Wonderful week. So, why the aforementioned "...disaster magnet" you ask?
(1) Our tour got cancelled today. We got up at 6:00am to make it on time to the bus. Luckily we made in on another similar tour but had to pay a hefty sum more for the same shit.
(2) We went to an expensive restaurant for our last night - they assured us that my room-mates meal did not have ANY soy in it. (She has a severe allergy that has prompted us to visit ERs on a regular basis). It had soy. Lots of it. Gave her the epi-pen because she couldn't breath. I called the ambulance from the hotel lobby.
(3) While waiting for the ambulance in the lobby, the lobby ceiling fell on us. Yup. Cement ceiling fell on us. Luckily we didn't get hit on the head. My legs got the brunt of it.
(4) Got home to check my facebook to see if my wonderful boyfriend wrote me, and got a message from my mom saying there was a pipe that burst in my apartment, and the ceiling was... (ummm, what's that word in english?) défoncé. Tons of stuff ruined.

Haha, well it could be worse. :)

P.S Mom and dad, please check if I have insurance.
Cal - I can't wait to skype. I'm having a great time too, but I miss you. Even today was an experience I wouldn't want to take back. (Well... maybe the ruined clothes part)
