MISSION: Happiness in Hawaii

I love warm weather. Sun, blue skies, a light breeze… that’s heaven to me. And living in Pittsburgh doesn’t often afford a lot of days like that, unfortunately. I think the statistics are that we get around 65 sunny days a year here. Luckily, the amazing people, incredible history and culture, and gorgeous skyline make up for that.

When Affiliated Agent DLP sent me her recent mission that took place in Hawaii, I knew it was perfect to post for this time of year! May it warm all of your hearts during this winter season!

I have been home from Hawaii for about 6 weeks but with coming home to house and yard damage from a very rare October snowstorm and Thanksgiving and Christmas nearly here, I have been slow in taking care of my pictures. Here is my most recent mission:

I was lucky enough to be able to go to Hawaii with my husband and friends for 16 days. I knew I wanted to plan a mission while there and decided that I wouldn’t take anything with me because of weight restrictions but would use what I could find while there. I had a wonderful time and Hawaii was so beautiful. I am so blessed to have been able to tour 3 islands and enjoy the warm weather, beautiful sunsets, the delightful ocean waters and seeing things I had never seen before.

So towards the end of my time there, I started to look for things I could use for my mission. I saved a brown bag from a purchase, used a postcard from Dole Pineapple Plantation and purchased a beautiful coffee mug with pictures of Hawaii.

On the morning that we were leaving our hotel and heading to the airport, Nov. 3rd, I told the others I was going for a walk. With my treasure in my purse, I walked around the hotel grounds looking for just the right place to leave the bag. There is a lovely waterfall with a Hawaii outrigger boat in front of it in the hotel garden so I left it there. Shortly after the “drop” we checked out of the hotel and I saw that my mission there was complete because the bag was gone. I hope who ever picked it up, enjoyed Hawaii as much as I did. Or if it was a person that lives and works in Hawaii, I hope they appreciate what a heavenly place Hawaii is.
