Island Hopping - Blogabond

After spending a semester at UH-Manoa in the dorms, I decided that dorm life was just not for me. So I located an apartment in the back of Palolo Valley. Since it wasn't furnished I needed to locate a bed, and a friend had one to give me but we just needed to arrange transportation. In the mean time I was home visiting my parents on the Big Island and decided to attempt to squish the futon into a tv box and take it back as one of my checked luggage pieces so that I could have something to sleep on other than the cold tile floor. I think it took 3 of us to get it to fit in the box, along with lots and lots of duct tape, but finally it was achieved and the futon came back with me on the flight to Honolulu and the house in Palolo Valley.

During this time I got fed up with school, became a beach bum, met a guy, and decided I was moving to Ohio. Thus, I now needed to find a place for all my stuff. I gave the futon to my best friend and thus it was transported in Greybie to her apartment in Kalihi. While it was in her care she moved to another apartment in Salt Lake where I would visit it when I came to stay at her place.
