Hawaii > Florida

I’m gonna be honest with you guys, I thought Florida and Hawaii were basically the same thing — turns out I was wrong.

Using an algorithm I created myself (based on cleanliness, food quality, population density, and wildlife), I can make a strong argument that Hawaii is (at a minimum) 4 times better than Florida.

Here are a few highlights from our recent trip:

• Ruby was voted loudest person on every flight we boarded (unanimously).

• Gwyn lost a lot of things including her boarding pass (within 5 minutes of me handing it to her, looking directly into her eyes and saying “don’t lose this, it’s very important“).

• Lila “slayed all day everyday” — her words, not mine.

• Jude met the love of his life at the Mauna Kea Luau (just kidding, but photo #8 makes me belly laugh every time).

We’re already planning our return in ‘24.

Shoutout to B-Stew for making me go.

Godspeed.

Bonus: My wife made us visit an active volcano and then it erupted a few days later. This is the documentary telling our family’s story of bravery and triumph in the face of life threatening adversity. Thank you for your support.
