So a couple of weeks ago my aunt randomly called me up and said “I booked a plane ticket to Hawaii. I hope it’s ok if I stay with you for 2 weeks.” Hmmm, that doesn’t sound like much of a choice… But she came and everything worked out and we had a great visit, filled with all sorts of activities…We went to Maui for a few days and while there I met some super nice Brazilian girls. They were coming to Oahu for a couple of days and needed a place to stay.
“Can we stay with you?” they asked me.
“Sure….let me just check with my roommates..”
I call my roommates and my guy roommate answers “it’s ok as long as they are girls. I don’t trust guys.”
My girl roommate answers “it’s ok as long as they don’t steal stuff.”
Well, I’ve only known them a few days but determine that they are definitely girls and they don’t seem like the type of ppl who steal…
I should have taken a picture of the living room before they left this morning. The air mattress just fit in between the couch and tv and I literally had to step onto their bed to get out the door.
Last night I had given them some xtra blankets since the weather in Hawaii was a little on the cold side (compared to Brazil that is). I whipped out some more blankets for myself and lay down. My roommate walks by and starts laughing hysterically. She asks me why I am sleeping with curtains…In fact they are the curtains that she absolutely could not stand to look at for one more moment, so had gone out and bought new ones and stuffed the old ones in the closet. My first thought was “oh my God I hope they are clean!” Guess I was a little tired….
So they leave this morning and a few hours ago I get a call from my BFF. I had been a little worried about her because I hadn’t heard from her in 5 days, which is a long time for us…She drops the bombshell… I AM IN HAWAII, in WAIKIKI, a few blocks from YOUR HOUSE….Never in my life have I been soooo surprised. I’m still in shock….I can’t sleep, I’m just so excited. It’s been a crazy couple of days and weeks! I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard in my life as when she and I both got on my moped a little while ago.
She asks me: “Is this safe? Do we need helmets? Is this legal?”
“Kind of, kind of and kind of” were my answers
So with all the excitment I realize that ALL my blankets are in the laundry room which is now locked for the night...Looks like I may be sleeping with curtains again.

Hahahaha... love your story Mon, and I can totally picture it!!!
I know you and Kat are having a great time and I'm smiling thinking of you both on your pink moped! I definitely want to try that out whenever I come visit!
Comment from Grandad:
In the process of moving from my old house to the condo I had some large extra sheers. In your case you could use these as blankets!!
(Also reminded me of the Sound of Music movie where Julie Andrews makes clothes out of the curtains!)
I sent away for a DVD on Hawaii and I hope it will show me all the highlights of Hawaii since I cannot visit you.
Love, Grandad
