Aloha!
This is the first solo trip I've ever made, so I decided to be adventurous and try Akiko's cottage.
Akiko was such a beautiful hostess. I really looked forward to her yummy breakfast and the history of Hawaii every morning. The ginger tea was delicious! I learned so much wisdom from her.
The cottage is very charming and certainly has a vintage feel to it. Although it was pitch black at night, I felt safe and at ease - and that's coming from a girl who doesn't like to sleep in total darkness.
There is something truly magical about this place and I finally figured it out... But I will let you decide when you visit!
Mahalo nui for everything Akiko and hope to see you again in the near future!
