Soooo.... We found this website- couchsurfing.com. It is exactly what it sounds like. You create a profile to meet people who are either traveling or who live somewhere that you are traveling. Got a couch?-- offer it to a traveler... Need a couch? -- look for one wherever you travel! It is free, hosts do their best to show couch surfers around the area and couch surfers participate in the household at which they are staying.
The day after our bed was delivered, we got our first couch surfer, Lindsay.
She grew up in Pittsburgh, but recently moved to L.A. She stayed with us for about a week before shipping off to another Hawaiian island. We did our best to show her around and do some fun things.
We visited a little island appropriately named "Chinaman's Hat"
We went with another couch surfer, Sean , who happens to live across the street from us, to a local park to Kayak:
We went hiking up to Makapu'u Lighthouse, look at how blue that water is!!
We went out to dinner to Cisco's, home of the famous 40 oz margaritas and to Hale Iwa Joe's for Lindsay's birthday (a place at which Car is thinking about working) an open air restaurant with a gorgeous view of the Haiku Gardens:
We found a perfect spot to go for a nice 3 mile jog with nice views and a breeze, Lanikai: a ritzy section of Kailua with two "famous" islands affectionately called "the Moks".
Today, Sunday, we found a new church close to our house that we enojoyed this morning. After church, we went to the Ho'omaluhia Botanical Gardens:
