This post is dedicated to Donald J Trump. Ā You whinny, narcissistic asshole arenāt the only one whom can have a Russian.
Ā My best friend in the entire universe is Russian. My ŃŠµŃŃŃŠ°. She is my sister from another mister.
Ā Ā We are much better looking than Donny and Vlad.
We met when my family hosted an exchange student my junior year of high school. Tamara was said exchange student.
Ā Since we have graduated college, we have tried to meet up at least once a year. Three years ago we went to Nashville. Last year we went to Barcelona. This year we went to Hawaii-courtesy of Tamaraās work.
Ā Grumpy, your Russian may have won you an election, but mine got me a trip to Hawaii FOR FREE! AT AN ALL INCLUSIVE RESORT!
A whole week of shenanigans, sunburns, and Mai Taiās.
Ā
Since this trip was technically a rewards conference for Tamaraās work, the majority of the trip was planned. It included pre-planned activities such as team building competitions, snorkeling, and the Feast at Lele with plenty of pool time in between. The last full day was a free day.
Ā At breakfast that morning Tamara mentioned that she wanted to do the Road to Hana as some of her fellow Russian coworkers were going and had rented a jeep. I did a bit of research. I told her we couldnāt do the whole thing since we were starting late and had to be back for dinner. I asked her if there was any room left in the Russian piloted jeep.
Ā Unfortunately there wasnāt. We were on our own in terms of transportation if we wanted to go.
Ā I went to the Enterprise desk in the lobby to see if we could get a car. Apparently everyone and their mother wanted to go on the Road to Hana. By the time I got there, 4 groups were in front of me.
Ā As I was waiting in line, I started looking on my phone to see if I had any discounts for enterprise for being airline crew.
Ā Once I got to the front of the line I made small talk with the Enterprise Representative. And by small talk, I mean cracking jokes, being inappropriate, and causing trouble of the best kind. I was told I was her favorite customer.
Ā After our bonding session, I was informed that she only had one car left.
Ā It was a Camaro convertible.
Ā
With my discount it would only be $120 for the day. SOLD!
Ā I saw the Russianās Jeep and raised them a Camaro.
Ā We spent the day with the top down and exploring the beautiful island of Maui. Ā Since I was the only one with an American driverās license, I drove. There was one problem with this plan, I am a horrific driver.
Ā On the way back to our hotel, I caused one of my Russian passengers to get carsick with my tight turns and frequent braking. We also narrowly avoided 4 car crashes.
Ā I didnāt know what the problem was; I was having a blast.
Ā Ā Besides the minor nausea, we made it back to the hotel without further incident. We spent the remainder of the night at a company-arranged dinner retelling our adventure to anyone who would listen and getting well and truly drunk. It was a fantastic way to end an amazing trip.
Ā The next day, Tamara and I parted ways with a promise to keep in touch and plan a bigger, better vacation next year.
Ā I was thinking a road trip up the California coast.
Ā Donāt worry. Iāll drive.
