the spaceMonkey: back to life, back to reality

reality is this paradise resort. and this is the place ruk and i came back to this evening after a day long road trip to hana...reality equals intense amounts of food (buffets), drinks, long talks on the beach looking at the moon and searching for stars. ruk thought that a shooting star was a meteor and he had never seen one..but he saw a few tonight and was schooled (by me) in the fact that a shooting star is a dying star. [CORRECTION: WE JUST LOOKED UP SHOOTING STAR AND I AM NOW PUBLICLY SAYING HERE THAT I AM WRONG. A SHOOTING STAR IS IN FACT A METEOR. RUK WAS RIGHT. WHATEVS]. wait, why aren't we married...i bet most married people dont have such blissful honeymoons (sorry nush/vicks).

ive been told that i should stop apologizing for bad blog write ups. so i'll say this only once...I AM NOT SORRY IF THIS BLOG SUCKS AND IS A WASTE OF YOUR TIME. STOP READING IT THEN.

we left the hotel around 830 (after an extremely huge buffet breakfast, because as we all know, ruk loves his buffets...skinny as the kid is).....and we set off on the road to hana...which is a tiny sleepy town on the other side of the island. ruk drove us out there through a lot of rain and crazy ass windy roads where we both thought we would die..luckily i played DJ (sorry nush, i think i was better than even u) so that if we were to die on the crazy roads, at least it would be to an amazing set of songs. very limited list here of what was playing:
mos def, punjabi MC, u2, mary j, falu, falguni pathak, various bollywood, muse, journey, madonna, george michael, james, wyclef, mobb deep, indian grooves mix, brandie carlile, regina spektor, rabbi shergill, paul simon, m.i.a., jack johnson, karunesh, random anus hip hop, random dj brown mix....and the list goes on and on...8 hours long.

what we learned today: ruks mind is blank while driving. ruk is great driver. i'm a great driver too but had more faith in ruk than myself on the crazy single lane roads. ruk and i would have been miserable if we were on vacation with any of our friends because none of them wake up as early as we do. ruk and i are literally black and burnt but are quite happy with our current state of overweight, over-tanned selves. when ruk and i sing songs for some odd reason he takes the high notes ad i take the low notes. there are other brown honeymooning couples in maui...we just dress better. ducks/birds are violent creatures and like to attack ruk while driving. when i drive the car, it stops working. odd. we both have very weak ankles and could have fallen/died at any moment and in fact expected to, but thankfully didnt. we like to hike so long as the entire process is less than 1/2 hour. i need to get over myself. ruk needs to get over himself. roll with it.

and now, for the pictures...we took over 200 today and several videos. but i will only torture u readers (i.e me and ruk) with a few highlights:
