Durtschi Dean and Platt OAHU 2025

It is so fun when friends come to visit me! I get to enjoy being on vacation and still going home and sleeping in my own bed! I really do love these ladies that make traveling and adventuring so easy and fun! Every day was filled and the time just flew by!

 we had a great day at the PCC the shows were amazing and The weather was practically perfect!

Snorkeling at electric Beach in the evening no one else was out there but us.

Judd trail and ginger pool. I decided to go down the slide a couple of times and then jump off the far rock. There’s something about being with your buddies that you just start doing crazy things

Our first day sunrise hike because everyone was up early super windy, but also gorgeous way to start the day!
