We had such an amazing day for our 5 year wedding anniversary! Started the day with an easy hike up the Makapu'u Lighthouse Trail with our Chewie. Then we went to the spot where Craig proposed a little over 5 years ago. Sunset Beach on the North Shore. We also went to dinner the next day at the amazing Haleiwa Joes in Haleiwa Town.

Oh man I forgot how packed the Honolulu City Lights get!
Those lights looked amazing!!! ❤
Did it get colder when you got in the further like a temperature change
Yes! Glad you guys finally got around to the hike! Sorry I didn’t give you the heads up about turning right after the stream crossing, but glad you guys got to do the whole trail. That banyan tree is pretty awesome huh? Looks like a jail cell. Sayra needs to get in on the cold plunges! 😂 Also, might be time to invest in some hiking poles for her! 😉 Just kidding!
@@ericnmary an epic hike! We’re still bummed that we didn’t get to do the hike with the two of you. We definitely need to get Sayra new hiking shoes too! 🤣
@ All good! Next time! Also, did you guys get a gimbal? Your shots are looking better!
@@ericnmary thanks for noticing! We recently purchased a DJI Osmo Pocket 3. We took advantage of a sale that Costco was having during Black Friday.
@ Hell yeah! That’s awesome! My first gimbal was a DJI. It was awesome, but then I got a new phone, which meant I needed a bigger gimbal to handle the bigger payload. Gimbals are so cool!
@@ericnmary for sure a game changer! Our next goal is to purchase DJI mics.
That’s nice you can get in the spirit of Christmas tree looks good
❤🥰🤗
What about big dogs? Where do they go if they can't fit on your lap?
@@brifri11 It's essentially the same process, but they would go in a special compartment. There are different requirements for the carrier and some other things, but mostly the same process!
I remember YEARS ago when we were moving to Hawaii we had to jump through all these damn hoops to get our cat there. It was a nightmare. She was worth it though.
@ericnmary Definitely a nightmare and stressful, but 100% worth it! We love our little guy too much!
Is this the same process for visitors bringing their dogs with them?
@Paul-qt2ok Hi! Unfortunately yes the process is the same even if you're just coming to the islands for a short time. Hawaii really wants to make sure they stay Rabies free.
Beautiful very peaceful thank you for sharing
@@pattifoster4274 thank you for watching and enjoying with us virtually!
When I first started watching this I was thinking, “that looks like the beach near Pele’s Chair” and I was right! Only been there once a LONG time ago. Is there still a telephone jutting out on the left side of the bay that people jump off of? I also climbed Pele’s Chair. Would not recommend. It’s super sketchy coming down.
@@ericnmary I don’t recall seeing a telephone pole.. even in the drone footage. 🤔 I can imagine it being sketch coming down from the top. I considered going up top for all of about 1 second lol super sick area though!
Glad you guys made it out there. Next time, you'll have to wade out into the bay a little bit, there are (I think) 2 sections of rocks set in a large circle (almost like a hot tub setup), so you can sit in the water and be in a group and talk.
@@volklman05 yea for sure!! I saw those two spots from Pele’s Chair, but we didn’t really get in the water because of Chewie. Good thing is that we live pretty close 🤣
As a single guy who got moved here by my company I got paid to move here, per diem, and a health home purchase allowance. They gave me two weeks it was nuts.
@Newa113 Wow, that is nuts that you only got two weeks, but so amazing that you got it paid for! What an awesome opportunity! Hope you love it as much as we do!
Happy Anniversary ❤ I’m with Chewie on that hike 😜 . I will need my breaks and water to survive 😜
@vdal78 It was quite hot too, but luckily the wind made it feel nice. I know Chewie was feeling it! You and Chewie can do the hike when you come out here lol
@ haha me and Chewie will stay back . Take our time 😝
Love your videos!
@@shannongasaway6316 Thanks so much for watching! 😊
So happy you are documenting your journey. What about the Dog's journey? I hear it is a lot of paperwork and tests to get a pet to Hawaii.
@@ai.lanecoe He’s such a big part of our lives! It was a pretty lengthy and hectic process. In fact, we do plan on making a video about the process sometime soon! Thanks for the comment!
@@Craig-and-Sayra Thanks for the reply.... we are planning on moving to Oahu in March. and bringing our pug with us. he moved from Texas to Mexico 4 years ago so he is a well-traveled dog. Now we get to find out how hard it is to get him to Hawaii. good times!
@ Aww that’s awesome! We’d really love to help by telling our story of how we brought Chewie over. We’re planning on making the video explaining the process very soon!
Love the Makapu'u lighthouse hike. Paved, great views, the history, it is a great time. Happy 5 years!
Thanks buddy! Next Saturday we're hitting up the beach over there you told me about 🤙
You guys, are awesome! . Enjoy the life you are trying to create.
@@tattoohick Thank you so much! We certainly are trying our best to live our lives the happiest way we can! We truly appreciate the comment. ❤️
Happy anniversary! Pictures look great! And congrats on making it to 100 subscribers! Sorry we couldn’t link up while we were out! Maybe next time!
@@ericnmary Thank you so much!!! We’re so bummed that we didn’t get to hang out with y’all! Next time we’ll for sure make meet up with you. 🤙🏼
Gorgeous! Happy anniversary 🎉 💗
Beautiful pictures
Happy Anniversary ❤
@@vdal78 Thank you so much! 😊
My favourite is from Heavenly Island Lifestyle Waikiki, with a side of peanut butter!
Most of the video is of woman, not of scenery, guys...
@@carolynpspk3912 We apologize if the video wasn't to your liking, but thanks for your opinion! We'll keep that in mind for future videos.
Cuteness overload. Chewie ❤
@@vdal78 Thank you! He had a blast! 😊
Your in the cement jungle😢
Aw man! Sorry you guys got rained out!
@@ericnmary It’s all good! We made the best of it. ☺️
He called it “shy grass”? Thats a new one. We always called it sleeping grass. That dragonfruit drink looked delicious!
Sleeping grass makes more sense! Definitely would have missed it if Rain had not pointed it out. Yes the dragonfruit drink is a must try! It’s so refreshing.
On what part of the Island did you buy your home, and why did you choose that area of the Island? Also what are the 850 sq ft. home prices like on Oahu? Thank you for this video!
@NYBraveheart we chose central Oahu! It's the most lateral move from the suburbs of Chicago and very similar feel. Also, every part of the island is just a short drive away. 25-45 mins typically. Two bedroom Townhouse and condos run from about $425k and up. Depending how how modern or updated it could be over a Mil. Hope this helps! Thanks so much for watching!
@@Craig-and-Sayra Thank you for the video; and thank you for all the information!
Alooooohhhaaa winsty and yummy
Watched your vid from Oct 22 picking up keys. So where did you live between 22 and Aug 23?
@@championgolfer Hi! Thanks so much for watching our video! We lived in Chicago before making the big move in March. 😊
These AI songs are pretty awesome. I still haven’t tested it out. Also, looks like you climbed down to Halona Cove! Did you explore the lava tube down there?
@@ericnmary I’ve made so many AI songs now lol I actually have a playlist of just my own songs. 😂 We did check out the Halona Cove beach! I didn’t even know about the lava tube until we went down there and definitely checked that out. We didn’t feel like crawling through the other side, but went about 90% of the way in. I didn’t realize how easy it was to get down. 🤙🏼
I miss my little guy. Glad he has some fun 🥰
Chewie! I was wondering why people were commenting that haha
Chewy
Chewy 😀
Chewy! 😂 That cove at the Halona Blowhole is also in 50 First Dates when Adam Sandler hits his golf ball off the course and he wanders down there to find the ball and he starts hallucinating Drew Barrymore’s character. Thats my favorite little beach. You are allowed to go down there. But yeah those crazy people getting right up next to the blowhole don’t realize the power of it I’m sure. People have definitely died over there. The ocean is no joke!
great video! Love the info.
Loved it thank you
Hell yeah! Glad you guys went! Sorry, I didn’t even think about the inflatable kayak possibly getting punctured! When you guys went right up river did you see the rope on the left? That’s a fun little spot to swing and jump into the river. Thanks for the shout out as well!
@@ericnmary Thank you so much for the recommendation! We absolutely loved it and will be doing it again! Yes, we did see the swing, next time we will have to stop and use it. Our inflatable kayak has been working out pretty well! No punctures this time ☺️.
My hubby and I love your videos, but sometimes it’s hard to hear what you’re saying :( Hope you guys get microphones
@@m.clements Thank you so much for the feedback! We’re glad to hear you are enjoying the videos! Yes we definitely need to purchase microphones. ☺️
@@Craig-and-Sayrawe learned a lot from the video where you broke down your expenses during your move to Hawaii. We’re grateful we came across your channel. 😊
@@m.clements Thank you so much! It’s so awesome to have people that support our channel and enjoy our content! Initially we started this to share our experience with family, but we’re super grateful that it’s reaching others. While we know that it may not be the same for everyone, we thought we’d share our personal experience. We’re thinking of doing a breakdown of what we spend on a monthly basis living here. ☺️
Important question, how much are oreos?
Thanks for sharing! We're at Oahu right now. Might check this out!
Blue magic epic
You watched til the end! Yay! Lol
Blue magic!
Yessssss!
We never SUP’d or kayaked that river, but we’ve done the Kahana river. You two definitely need to go check that one out. It’s awesome!
@@ericnmary We were just talking about where else we can kayak on the island! Our next kayak adventure will definitely have to be Kahana River. Thanks for the idea! ☺️
I used to volunteer with the park rangers at Diamond Head and my typical job was to hike to the top and just hang out up there and make sure people didn't hop the bars and climb over to the other pill boxes lol. There's also a ton of invasive plant species out there so when I wasn't doing that I'd be out there chopping and pulling invasive stuff.
My husband and I are looking at transferring with our work. What did you all do for work? Or transferring?
@@tabbathaalcorn5934That’s so exciting! Fortunately we both transferred. We both work from home, and so we were able to stay with our companies while living here. When are you thinking of transferring?
@@Craig-and-Sayra How does the time difference between Hawaii and the mainland affect the hours you work from home?
@NYBraveheart It actually makes us wake up really early lol I work 10-7 Central time, so I work from 5am-2pm over here. I actually love the schedule! Sayra starts work at about 7am and works until she's done. Typically early afternoon. 🤙
@@Craig-and-Sayra Thank you for replying. I work from home as well; so I'll have to see what hours I can manage! Thank you again, and congratulations on your move to Hawaii!
That narrow spiral staircase was always my least favorite part. Mostly because that’s how people got up AND down from the top so it was always congested.
Oh and tell Sayra to look at the Inov-8 trailfly shoes. Thats what we have. They’re great. Not sure if you’re military or not, but if you are you most likely get discounts on that brand through ExpertVoice.
