Last month I had the extreme pleasure of traveling from Belize to Hawaii. I was fortunate enough to have my WHOLE family there. The main occasion was Amanda Heien's marriage to Jason Chang. We had an amazing 2 weeks of adventures in the lovely island of Oahu, Hawaii. I thought it might be best to show the adventure through pictures.
Enjoy!
SURPRISE!
In LAX airport, I surprised the family. They expected to meet me in Hawaii, I was able to change my flight last minute and find them in LAX.
