Honestly, I had never been interested in travelling to Hawaii before.
My image about Hawaii was a crowded Waikiki beach where lots of Japanese tourist groups were rushing into and enjoying shopping and other spree.
However, the place he was recommending was Big Island in Hawaii.
To be honest, I did not know about this island at all.
I had already known that my friend was going back there often to see his friend who was living there and do some projects together.
I was still attracted to Amazon and wanted to save money for future visit there.
However, I could not see any clear steps toward that.
The last visit to the village in Amazon has given me very powerful experiences. I felt I accomplished something already that I needed.
I was saying “No” to my friend, but he somehow kept recommending me to fly to Big Island.
He said I needed to go there.
I declined a couple of times, but finally I found no reason to say “No” anymore.
I decided to go.
Once I decided to go ahead, I quickly started to buy an airplane ticket and prepare for my trip. Everything went so smoothly, and I was finally flying to Hawaii for the first time in my life.
