We have news...sad news

As you can see, today is bitter sweet.

I'm not ashamed to announce that we actually sat in that Banyan tree for several hours, crying and pitying ourselves. Yep. It was the one thing that stuck around to mourn with us whenever, and for however long we needed it.

Laugh if you will, but that tree is sentimental to me.

Anyhow, I suppose I must tell you the details of our situation now. See below, my friends.

****

Clearly, our stay at Uncles has come to an end, and our Hilo escapades have been put on hold..for how long, we don't know.

After Uncles, we headed to Lacey's house for a few days-kudos to the couch surfing website.

Then we stayed in a hotel for two days.

Next we'll go to Derek's for a few days.

And after Derek's, we'll head to Rico's for the weekend.

From Rico's home, we'll then leave to the airport on July 12th and board our plane bounded for Utah.

It's been an amazing adventure. We have met so many people during our stay that we both will miss terribly. We've made countless memories. The trials of finding housing and jobs is something we'd both do over and over again because of the lessons and the fun and awesome experiences we've had along the way.
You can be happy in any setting, and I have learned that over and over again these lasts few months.
It's been a short venture, but I'm so grateful for the time we've had here.

One day, we'll be back.

Aloha Oi, friends. Take care.
