(圖: 看過最可愛的結婚蛋糕, 海星和貝殼都可以吃喔！)
才不到九個月, 我又回到夏威夷。感謝 Sunny 和 Seal, 若非他倆選擇在美麗的海邊舉行婚禮, 又若非他倆精心安排行程, 我不會這麼快回去, 也不會體會到如此美麗和非商業的歐胡島。
從紐約去夏威夷要飛行13小時, 途中得轉機, 本人今年的假用得差不多了, 所以只能小請三天, 星期六一大早去, 星期二晚上十點回來, 整整四天三夜。飛這麼久, 待這麼短, 真的很可惜, 但能參加好朋友的婚禮和這麼棒的行程, 三天也願意。
下面是我參考 Sunny 和 Seal 的行程, 裡面集合很多人的經驗和心血, 所以先貼出來跟大家分享, 旅行發生的點點滴滴, 之後再慢慢紀錄了。
