a thank you, jet lagged, and hawaii so far (ToL#176)

March 31, 2016 by Amanda @ .running with spoons. 57 Comments

Happy #thinkingoutloud Thursday! No idea what I’m going on about? Click here!

Thinking-Out-Loud

1. Firstly and foremost-ly, thank you guys SO, so much for all your sweet comments, messages, and e-mails regarding the big news. I haven’t had a chance to respond to all of them just yet on account of travelling and all, but I wanted to send out a huge temporary TY;LY (thank you; love you) because you guys seriously rock my socks off, and none of this craziness would have been possible without you.

2. Speaking of the craziness, I’m still trying to transition my brain to vacation mode. I have a feeling it’ll be a couple more days before it finally sinks in 😬

3. But let’s talk about the trip so far! We’ve only really been here for 1.5 days so there isn’t tooooo much to say just yet, but I did already manage to get slightly sunburnt (as per usual)…

By The Pool

4. Befriend some handsome local fellows…

Maui Penguins

5. Eat my weight in tropical fruit (don’t worry – not the ones on display in the hotel)… (and o.m.g the papaya is amazing)…

Baby Pineapples

6. Spend plenty of time on the beach [trying to get the perfect wave shot]…

Standing on the Beach

Beachy Waves

Getting The Good Shot

7. And become slightly delusional as a result of staying up for way too long while trying to combat jet lag…

Good Morning Jet Lag

8. I think I’m going to end it there since I’m pretty sure this ToL has to go live in about 15 minutes (home is 4 hours ahead), but I’ll talk to you guys again soon, and you can always follow me on Snapchat (username –> runningspoons) to see more from the trip!

    Sorry to hear about your sunburn! I think that’s par for the course in Hawaii. 🙂

    Also, those penguins are too adorable. I need to stay there next time I go back!

    Ah, I know what hotel you’re at. Those penguins! My friend works there. Don’t worry. I won’t stalk you. I’m in California now. And I’ve actually never been to Maui. One of my biggest regrets when I lived there was not island hopping.

    I just reentered the blogging world so I wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS on the book! You are incredibly deserving of this, and I cannot wait to try it out. I’ll be sure to give it a review on the blog when it’s out 🙂
