We then moved to Maui, which is just gorgeous. It is amazing how different the two islands look to me. Again, the resort was gorgeous. While in Maui we did a couple really cool things. We went bike riding down the volcano - Haleakala - which was super scary but fun. And, we went on a whale watching cruise and saw a ton of humpback whales. That was so amazing, I can't even describe how cool that was. We also spent plenty of time relaxing by the pool / ocean and enjoying sitting in a hammock and feeling the sun on our faces.
We both feel rested and relaxed and hopeful after our trip. I even bought something for my future child - a little t-shirt that says "Little Turtle" in hawaiian. I washed in and am putting it away for when I birth or adopt a baby.
We are now trying to get ourselves adjusted to the time change and get ready to jump into Monday and a new IVF cycle. I have a baseline ultrasound tomorrow morning. We needed this vacation so badly and enjoyed it so much, that I feel like I can handle what comes next.
Here are a few pictures of our trip to Hawaii. Enjoy!
Gorgeous pictures! I am glad that you had such a wonderful time. I think it was perfect timing, right before your IVF cycle. You are rested and relaxed and happy, and what could be better than that? I knew you would just love it. I agree...the two islands do look totally different. If you get a chance someday, go to the Big Island, and that is really different! Seeing those pictures was so nice. Thank you. I wish you the best with your upcoming cycle.
