At the end of my trip to Hawaii, my friends asked me what my favorite part of the trip was. Of course it was seeing them, but beyond that. I thought about it, but already knew the answer - it was kayaking out to the Chinaman's Hat.

But what about this was so special? What made it any more exciting than learning how to paddleboard or going to a new beach? I had to think on this a bit. I mean, that day I did the kayaking was rainy and cold (we all know how much I love the rain ...) and I had to drive to the other side of the island to get to the meeting point. When I showed up the guide was not there and I had to call the company to make sure the tour wasn't cancelled. Not the best start to the experience ... and yet, it turned out wonderfully.
So here is what I concluded. I enjoyed it the most because it was the furthest outside of my comfort zone of everything I chose to do on my trip. It scared me a little to think that I was going to be kayaking in open water in the ocean. There were waves and sharks and who knows what else!!
While I enjoyed so much about my trip to Hawaii, I enjoyed most the things that scared me ... just a little! :)
