I get ideas
and inspiration from many places in my life, especially for places I want to
travel. The first ideas, and subsequent obsession, of visiting Hawaii came from hearing about my Grandparents visits and from watching Lilo & Stitch. The first time I visited was to
Oahu and that was because my friends were already going and invited me along.
This time I wanted to visited a different island, have direct flights if
possible and get there for cheap. Maui was the winner.
When it
comes to what I want to do once I arrive somewhere I almost always go to
Pinterest for information and inspiration. This time however I happened to be
scrolling through Instagram and found a picture of a massive field of
sunflowers, I had to go. The photo was geotagged “Maui” so I didn’t know where
exactly on the island I would find it. Many other photos of the field were
tagged in different spots as well so I pushed the idea of visiting out of my
head.
Once we
arrived I happened to hear two girls discussing it and it sparked my interest
again. I googled it and found that the field is located "between 2 highways" not
far from where we were staying, one of which we would be driving on the next
day.
And there it
was, the bright yellow field and all the cars stopped on the side of the road were
all the signs I needed. We pulled over, ran across the highway and frolicked in
the rows of flowers with everyone else.
