My Love for the Air Guitar

I have a Love for many things. My boys. Microbrews. My Jams. Tebow. The Bach. My BFFs. Yoga & Running. Sports Talk Radio. (all in no particular order).

But added to that list...is the Air Guitar. Yes, this is very true. I just can't help myself when I hear those cords perfectly in tune with a set of drums and a belting chorus line. My left hand cranks out and my right sets just on my torso...and then...the magic begins. I do not know how to play a single note on a real guitar, nor I have ever even played Guitar Hero. But I can promise you one thing. I. Can. Freaking. Rock. The. Air. Guitar.

And so, leave it to a trip last week in Mexico to present to us...The perfect combination:

Bloody caesar cocktails
Fantastic friends
Mexican band singing ACDC without speaking a lick of English
A 30th birthday celebration for my dear M.
Cerveza
Gator Guy behind the camera

And you get this fantastic duo of Air Guitar meets Air Drums

Must See, Must Do: Hawaii

1. Helitour - Gator Guy and I splurged for an open doors Helicopter tour over west Maui and Molokai. That's right, no doors. Ah-freaking-mazing. I just might be considering a career as a traffic reporter just so I can experience the copter more!!

2. Snokeling - It has always been a little tough snorkeling in places after seeing the Great Barrier Reef. I mean, quite the place to live up to. But I must say that Maui did...and then some. We took a snorkel tour with the Pacific Whale Foundation, stopped by Molikini and Turtle Town. I was convinced that we wouldn't see any turtles and it was just a way for us to cash in that moolah. Wrong! We saw green sea turtles everywhere. What beautiful and peaceful creatures!

Sadly I turned down the water camera, but this is just what it was like

3. Bellow's Beach - Best kept secret on Oahu. Skip those crowded beaches and head to Bellow's Beach. It is actually on Bellow's Air Force Base and is open to the public on weekends. Great view. No crowds. Damn good time.

4. The North Shore - There is just something about the North Shore on Oahu. Surfers. Slow pace. Surfers. Dole Pineapple. Surfers. Wiamea Bay was the first beach that we hit up on our trip and it was the best. Beautiful waves.

5. Road to Hana - There are not kidding. The Road to Hana has twists and turns that will definitely make your stomach cry for a dramamine. In fact, 600 curves and 54 bridges to be exact. But it is a definite must see. And feel free to take a little adventure off to one of the off road waterfalls.

6. Hiking - Gator Guy and I just couldn't get enough hiking. Diamond Head, Coco Head, Manoa Falls, and much more. Just make sure you bring your Keens.

7. Lahaina, Maui - Oh Lahaina...How I love thee. We stayed at Lahaina Shores. We didn't really know what to expect when we booked it online, but this small little fisherman's town is my new love. Restaurants everywhere and beautiful art galleries on every corner.
