My Last Day in Paradise

Our final day in Maui was unscheduled and full of lazy. We swam in the ocean, lounged outside and ate lots of yummy food. At first, I lounged in the shade. My skin is very fair and I have too many questionable freckles from sunburns past. And I burn really, really easy.

However, I decided to slather on a ton of extra sunscreen and sat out on the beach with Sarah and read for hours.

South Shore Tiki Lounge has a small vegan/vegetarian menu - this is a housemade veggie burger and really tasty fries. And pickles.

 A total Myspace photo -  but proof that the pale can sit in the sun and not spontaneously combust.

 $4 margarita. We returned to the Tiki Lounge for dinner.

Sure is pretty to look at.

The plane trip home was, at first, panic inducing. I may not have alluded to this before, but I am deathly afraid of flying. I take a xanax before each and every flight and it helps to settle my nerves, but I still get really nervous when the pilot mentions turbulence. Lucky, the turbulence was very light and I was comped two free beers - one on a beverage ticket my friend had and the other because I sat next to the most evil, screaming child known to man. I felt so sorry for that kid's parents. They did their best to keep the kid occupied, but I know that I feel the same way about being stuck in a metal tube for 5 hours and would probably cry and scream too if I wasn't drugged up.

School has finally started for me and it looks as if I'll be crazy busy for the rest of my life. I will do my best to write more on here - I really do like to post, but I feel my life is so utterly boring that nobody wants to read about it! Vegan Mofo is coming up in November, so I will be attempting to complete the challenge of posting every day. But we'll see.
