Day 7: Checking out , and going to the aquarium.



When I got back to the Hotel last night I had a message to call Nancy.----Nancy,Nancy, hum who's Nancy? ....OH YA! She was the girl that took me out to P.F. Chang's on day one. So I called her up and she wanted to go to the aquarium and get lunch. So I went!
I checked my stuff into the office since I had to check out at 10:am.

We saw sharks, many varieties of jelly fish, and a lot of the fish I had seen the day before snorkeling at Hanauma bay. I also learned more about the formation of Coral then I ever wanted to know. It was a great. They had a hands on starfish exhibit. The highlight for me was this seal.
We went to Fatty's and had a plate lunch. I was missing my friends from my hostel. So I used the old "got to go track down my skateboard" excuse. Which she probably thought was totally lame. I called the bus system and they said no one had turned my board in. And my friends had already left for the day.


I had been going through the international market place and finding out the rock bottom price for the items I was interested in. I got 9 shirts for $20 , and a cute sun dress for Elara. I talked her down from $15 to $8 .










I went back to the Hostel and met up with Corrie, Phoebe, and Tamara. I invited them to come with me to watch the sunset behind the Moana Surfrider. I was really going to miss this place and all the people I had met. I wish I would have booked ten days. I didn't get to see 1/10th of what I planned to. We headed back and ate. I decide I was going to make my last dinner a good one. So I had crab legs and sirloin. By the time dinner was over I had to jam back to get my bags, and shower up. I exchanged E-mails and gave my people hugs and waited to be picked up to go to the airport. I flew out at 11:50 and got back to cold las Vegas at 7:am
What a trip. I feel restored and ready to go back to work. What a great warm place. I will really miss the Island and the people who live there.

Matt, I wish you could have stayed longer, also, since you were there. It sounds like you had the greatest time.

Look at you pimpin' it with the ladies!! Maybe Dustin and I will take a trip to restore ourselves one of these days!!
I liked how you used the old skateboard line...I've used that one to get out of a sticky situation many times, works like a charm! HA ha

I have used the "skateboard" excuse on you kids even. I hate to admit that I have told you "I have to go home now to fix my skateboard."

So, this is the 3rd time I've typed this. Hopefully it'll post. Matt, it's me, Munns Bunns. I can't believe you have kids. I didn't even know you got married. That's probably because I got married and had 2 kids and now have lost all touch with the real world. Anyway, write if you have a second. I'll look forward to hearing from you.

Hey Matt! It's Munns Bunns. Gabe Herron just forwarded your blog to me. I don't know how she found it, but she did and I wanted to say hey. So, hey. Write me when you have a minute. I can't believe you have kids. I guess that's what happens whenyou get married, you lose all touch. I have 2 boys. Deagan is 2 and Jens is almost 6 months. Crazy! Anyway, I'll look forward to talking to you.
