The week before Travis started his new job in Oklahoma City, we decided to make a last-minute trip to Hawaii to join Mindy's parents who were already there for a month-long vacation. They had a spare fold-out bed at their timeshare and invited us to join them if we could make it!

We packed up our small 1-bedroom apartment and storage shed into a giant POD. Then we left Annapolis and drove our 2 cars to Charlottesville, VA....to Nashville, TN....to Little Rock, AR, ...to Dallas, TX....and then flew to Kona, Hawaii! We were able to stay 5 days before Travis had to be in OKC to start work, but we managed to squeeze in swimming, hiking, sightseeing, etc.
