Saturday also happened to be Marti's birthday. How nice that she got to spend her 32nd birthday with a bunch of her closest friends on Maui! Keidi even got her a present (although she keeps reminding me that the present was from all of us, not just her).
There's the birthday girl, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed
So after singing her a quiet Happy Birthday we headed out to Upcountry. One thing you have to understand about the neighbor islands is that even though they may be bigger in terms of land mass, they still have that small town feel (by which I mean, it's hard to keep secrets from them because everyone knows everyone else). This is would be very evident a little later.
This is what greeted us when we arrived at Tripp's house
After meeting Tripp's family we started loading up the trucks for our weekend in Hana. This probably took us about half an hour or so and there wasn't too much work to do so some people slept in the car and others just talked story.

But anyway while we were almost ready to leave, Tina, Tripp's sister, yells out her now infamous question. I wish I had a picture of this, but who would have known she would blurt out such a thing? She asked, "So which of you is Kelly's sister's boyfriend?"
Now all of us kind of stupidly stood there since we had no idea who Kelly was let alone Kelly's sister. There was one person, however, that knew the answer to the question. So after a few awkward seconds John-John kind of raises his hand and mutters, "She's not my girlfriend..."
By then we all figured out what Tina was talking about and we all turned to John-John, pointed at him and started laughing hysterically (well, maybe it was just me that actually pointed). At this point John-John turned a bright shade of red and stood there seemingly stunned by our taunting. At that point, I knew it would be a real fun weekend.
