This past weekend we took our first flight in 10 months.
(It's not that we'd normally fly really often, we are just beginning to get island fever on Oahu.)
We traveled with Tami and Eric to Molokai for our first inter-island trip.
Going from a population of nearly 1 million to the equivalent of a small farm town (the entire Island's population is around 7400) was quite a relaxing experience in itself.
Molokai is known to be the 'Most Hawaiian Island'
We camped for 2 nights on Papohaku beach and spent our days swimming, napping and exploring the vastly different topography of the island.
We arrived early Saturday morning and went 'to town' for some fruit from the market and to stock up for the weekend. We came upon some extremely friendly people, it felt just like visiting a small town in the midwest. It was obvious to anyone we came upon that we weren't from the island and so many people started up conversations to find out how we were enjoying our time on Molokai and offered up several suggestions of things to not miss during our visit. There is said to be a hostility between native Hawaiians and people who move to the island, we've noticed it some on Oahu, but not at all in our time on Molokai.
We spent just as much time relaxing and taking the island in as we did documenting our trip so be looking forward to a Molokai video and plenty more pictures to come!
