majestic hawaii

So I've been away for a minute. A long minute, actually. I've been in Hawaii on a cruise with that awesome husband of mine. I was gone so long—ten days—that I was starting to feel like I was in a blissful alternate universe in which I had no job, no responsibilities outside of figuring out fun things to do on each island we were encountering, and got to sleep for ten hours a day. It was the trip of a lifetime.

"Majestic" was a good word for it. Not "majestic" in the way the lady at the excursion desk described a $180 sunset cruise, or in the way the cruise director threw it out when explaining the Pina Colada Happy Hour. We're talking "oh-my-god-if-I-see-one-more-thing-that-is-more-beautiful-than-the-last-I-might-just-die". DIE, I tell you! Like, "Oh, wow, this Nepali Coastline sure is lovely, but throw in that double rainbow and jumping dolphins at the same time and you get pure majestic". BEHOLD. (I was not lucky enough to capture the dolphins in this image).

While I was in the Aloha state, I Instagramed like a madwoman. So much so that my facebook friends probably hate me because these posts go right into my facebook feed. Sorry, friends! Anyhoo, here's a roundup of some of my faves (I took SO many). If you want to see the rest of them, you can find them on my followgram.
