so jess and i made it safely home. we’ve spent the past few days seeing all our friends and family and really soaking up all of the things we love about hawaii.

next up for me… paris! i’m going to be attending a writing workshop in paris for the month of july. i bought a one way ticket there, and it’s going to be an adventure in itself to figure out how i’m going to make my way back home again! so many ways to cross half the globe…

if you’d like to keep up with my travels, i’ve started another blog at maliayoshioka.wordpress.com. this blog is already way too full of memories to pack any more in. =)

the countdown begins again! i leave for paris in 5 days… can’t wait!

then and now

our last sunset!
